Hugh Jackman claims it was awkward to film a love scene with Jennifer Garner for their new film Butter since they were only expected to make sounds.

He told The Huffington Post about a filming encounter with co-star Jennifer Garner that caused the Australian actor blush when speaking about his new picture, Butter.

“I did probably one of the most embarrassing things I had to do on a movie set, or funny anyway,” he recounted. “We have an off-screen love scene, Jen and I, and it takes place in the back of a car, you don’t see anything. We had to record it in a car.

“The director, in the driver’s seat, and the passenger’s seat had the sound recorders. It was stationary because it was in the showroom. And we were doing it at the same time, which is one thing, but then the guy said, no, this is not going to work.”

That’s when the shame became unbearable.

“‘I really need to record you separately,'” Jackman remembered the sound tech saying. “And so, we both had to kind of perform our version, in character, of sex while the other one is quiet. And it was impossible not to be laughing your head off while the other person is doing it. That was humiliating… Guys never sound good during sex. It’s impossible to sound good.”

Following a trip to India earlier this year, Jackman recently stated that he would want to return to the nation.
