Hugh Jackman: 'My Wife Likes Kinky Role Play'

Hugh Jackman has revealed what turns his wife on in the bedroom - role play.

The Hollywood hunk - who stars alongside Nicole Kidman in the new Baz Luhrmann film Australia - admits Deborra-Lee Furness - who the actor married in 1996 - loves it when he dresses up.

He says, "When I wore that white double-breasted jacket for Australia she said: 'Wear your costume home tonight?' She didn't say that about the other horse-smelling costume I had to wear in the movie.

"When we met, I was playing a prisoner with tattoos and she'd say: 'Don't take your tattoos off tonight!' And I'd be like: 'All right!'

"But what works best with her is the stockbroker look. She loves the idea of me coming home in costume because it makes her feel like she's having an affair - in a good way."

Obama: the world's hottest ticket

With a week to go before Barack Obama is sworn in, the hype is unstoppable. In the bus queues and at the hairdressers across the country, on talk radio and on the blogs, the only subject worth discussing is next Tuesday's inauguration. Yesterday's excitement was all about the Obama tattoo man, Ryan Hadley.


In Fort Wayne, Indiana, he was busy applying Obama tattoos on the waistlines of two teenage girls. Other customers wanted them on their legs, arms and waistlines. "The smallest costs $50 (£35) and one the size of a softball will set you back $600," he said. "They can always be lasered away but so far they are loving them."

Tattoos come of age in Asia at Singapore show

His parents were against it, but student Shendon Goh smiled as a tattoo of a skull with a knife through it reading "Live Free or Die Hard" was drawn on his right calf at the first annual Singapore Tattoo Show last weekend.

"It's about being who you are," said Goh, a Singaporean who was got his first tattoo at the convention as a 21st birthday present to himself.

Goh is part of a young generation in Asia, particularly in the more cosmopolitan cities, who have increasingly embraced tattoos as a form of self-expression.

Tattoo artists from 25 countries around the world gathered in Singapore for the event. Organizers said it was the first of its kind in Asia, highlighting the surging popularity of an art that has been practiced in the region for thousands of years.

The three-day show -- which drew about 5,000 people -- featured tattoo and piercing artists, art theory seminars, equipment suppliers and fans vying to win a best tattoo contest.

"Tattooing has become so global, there are guys doing great stuff everywhere," said American tattoo artist Chris Garver, of Pittsburgh, whose hit reality show "Miami Ink" helped popularize tattoos in Asia. "Japan, the U.S. and Western Europe have always had a lot of high-quality tattoo artists, but now it's starting to spread."

Indigenous peoples of Japan, China, India, Thailand, Indonesia and New Zealand have used body markings as amulets, status symbols, signs of religious beliefs, and adornments for at least 2,000 years. Scientists in Europe even found tattoos on the fingers of a 5,000-year-old mummy.

James Bond star Daniel Craig admits to a string of naughty tattoos

Who would have thought that behind Daniel Craig's cool, calm exterior there was a rebellious teenager, just like the rest of us?

The 007 star admitted he had a wild past, adding: "I have a couple of tattoos where you'd see them and one where you wouldn't. It's hidden away! I had them done when I was 16 or 17. It was a rebellion thing. Make-up artists have a nightmare covering them.

"I don't regret it, you can't. It's a personal thing."

Russell Brand plans pirate tattoos

Russell Brand is planning to have a skull and crossbones tattooed on his nipples.


The British comic star is so excited by rumours he may appear alongside Johnny Depp in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie that he wants to pay tribute to the hit adventure franchise.

Russell said: "I've seen some talk about that Pirates of the Caribbean, but I think they're still writing the script. Nonetheless, I am having a skull and crossbones tattooed on each of my nipples in anticipation of the plotline.

"I just hope it doesn't affect my other work in Jane Austen adaptations."

The 33-year-old funnyman also revealed he is keen to work with legendary director Woody Allen and American adult movie star Gianna Michaels - who is famous for her enormous breasts.

Russell added to MTV.com: "I'd like to meet Woody Allen. I'd like to work with him, because I understand that he ignores you through the whole process. That would be fun. And I'm very keen to meet the actress Gianna Michaels.

"She can only be described as an adult-film actress. I urge you to look at the work of Gianna Michaels. I would be very interested in working with her in any capacity.

"She's a very gifted woman."
