Watch: Hugh Jackman and X-Men Pals Dance to 'Blurred Lines'
by EG
Hugh Jackman doesn't have any musical numbers in "X-Men: Days of Future Past," but he was able to work some musical moves into the film's production anyway. This week on "The Graham Norton Show," Jackman, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy showed off their dancing skills and shared some behind-the-scenes stories about filming the superhero flick.
In the segment, Jackman recalls that Fassbender was often reluctant to come out of his trailer on the "X-Men" set, and in order to coax him out so that shooting could start, Jackman would get the sound man to play Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" loudly. Apparently, the song had a pied-piper effect on Fassbender, luring him out of the trailer with its irresistible groove.
Just to prove his point, Jackman and Fassbender re-enacted the incident on Norton's set, with McAvoy joining the pair for a few seconds of uninhibited dancing. It was unabashed silliness, but the video has already lured more than 150K viewers, proving that all you need to do to get attention from the ladies—if you happen to look like Jackman, Fassbender and McAvoy—is be willing to get up on the dance floor.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" opens on May 23.
