The before shot: Cheryl was seen arriving at the salon earlier in the day with her hair tied up in a big bow

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.

Making a splash: The muscular X-Men star turned plenty of heads as he emerged from the surf


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.

Real Steel 2011 movie trailer

Shawn Levy directs and Hugh Jackman stars along with some CGI robots. Real Steel is an upcoming action drama film inspired by Richard Matheson's short story "Steel". The movie sets in the near future where human boxing is been banned. The synopsis of the movie sounds like this:

Hugh Jackman plays Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

This marks author Matherson's latest work been adapted as a movie, previously and the last been I Am Legend. Now, DreamWorks and its new partner Touchstone have enrolled a teaser, first look into the movie. Looks like 2011 is a year of clinging and fighting robots and it took a central stage together with the new Transformers: Dark of the Moon trailer at the same week. Now, enjoy the teaser trailer below:

SPIRITUAL Never Giving Up

When people try to get to you and bring you down, don't let them. Do not allow them to get the best of you. Rise above it and ignore the distractions. Keep your eyes fixed on your dreams and goals. With God's help, you'll get there.
