The actor, who had visited hot springs in Japan during a break in shooting for the film, reportedly upset fellow bathers by failing to cover up his manhood.
The 44-year-old was all nude during his time at the hot springs and it took him almost an hour to understand that the hand towel he had been given at the entrance was to cover his private parts, News.com.au reported.
Jackman told the publication that the place is separated for male and female and they hand you a towel, a small washcloth.
He said that there are eight different types of tubs with heats of different temperatures.
The Australian actor asserted that he got so hot that he used the towel to dip into the cold water and put it on his head, but he was getting very strange looks from everybody.

Carey was injured during the filming of the music video for her song #Beautiful.
The singer's latest album, The Art of Letting Go, which she was due to release this month, might be her last with Island Def Jam, it has been revealed.
The singer has decided to take this step after delays and a lack of promotion and support by the recording label, the New York Post reported.
Music insiders told the publication that the album’s first single, ‘hash Beautiful,’ was not heavily promoted by IDJ, and Carey was disappointed by the label’s efforts.
Some insiders also blame the lack of attention to Carey on the fact that label execs were busy focusing on Kanye West’s album Yeezus.
