Hugh Jackman has revealed that his wife gets upset if he is in better shape than her.

The 42-year-old often buffs up for movie roles but said that his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, 55, hates it when he outshines her.

Just this week the X-Men star put his incredible form on show as he took to the surf at Bondi Beach in his native Australia.

'Overall, Deb would say to me my job is to be out of shape so that she can look as good as possible,' he tells Australia's News.com.au.

'So she's always upset with me if I'm in really good shape.'

'She's like, 'I think you're forgetting the contract of marriage - ultimately everything is about me looking better, so enough with the training'.'

And he said that she isn't a huge fan of his muscles anyway.

'Let me give you a little insight into my wife. I met her on a prison drama where I had tats all over my body and a mullet, and that turned her on,' he explained.

'She likes the bad boys.'

The couple have been married for 15 years and have two children together - Oscar, 11, and Ava, 6.

The actor is currently promoting his new film Real Steal, an action sci-fi about robots who have replaced humans in boxing.

He also recently recently finished filming Butter, a tale about a young orphan who discovers her uncanny talent for butter sculpture in an Iowa town.

The comedy also stars Jennifer Garner and Alicia Silverstone.

The multi-talented performer, who won a Tony Award in 2004 for his role in Broadway show The Boy From Oz, is also hoping to land a role in Glee.

'That would be fun,' he said.
