What’s fascinating about this video of Hugh Jackman suffering a Blow to the Crotch in a game of cricket is the number of times he gratuitously rubs his “area” after the fact. Even in the post-throw interview! Knock it off, Wolverwine! Not including replays, the final tally is EIGHT TIMES. Even if you discount the initial area-rub (because that’s really more like a mandatory “check”), seven area-rubs within one minute is intense. The incident begs the devastatingly important week-after-Christmas question: Is Hugh Jackman proving the age-old maxim, “No one can make a crotch adjustment look good?” Vote and watch the video after the (ball-) break.

The rubs weren’t as obvious as the prominent peen outline. Yowza!
I think the outline was from the protective cup.
Yeah there is no way he could take a hit like that and brush it off unless he was wearing a cup. That aint all him.
Yeah, that is all him. Don’t ask how I know—no, not personal experience…just pictures from other places/things.
This man can make picking his nose look sexy!!
Hugh Jackman makes anything look good. And if he does something that happens to draw one’s eyes to his, um, personal region, well, let’s just say to answer your question: Hell to the yeah, Hugh Jackman can make a crotch adjustment look good! He is my forever eye candy.
I think the protective cup was what was in the outline…
Poor Hugh — he lives such a quiet life with his family, that it is hard to get news about him – and now this happens!
But then wouldn’t he be alright? Or would it still hurt? I REALLY have no idea, no experience with that, um, area.
Yet another aspect of that “area” I will wonder about…
I’ll be honest, I hope that outline wasn’t the cup (:
I’m a perv. It’s official.
I would have guessed him a lefty. Huh.
You can squeeze the twig pretty hard without it hurting too much, but if you just barely flick the berries, it can be a world of pain.
There would still be some pain but not NEARLY the level of pain a hit without the cup would produce.
Thanks for the male expertise. Now, do you guys think he was wearing a cup or not?
But he says something about “don’t ever wear boxer shorts when you’re playing cricket.” Can you wear boxers with a protective cup?
Yes, you can.
I think he can. There’s a very small list of men who can make crotch adjustment sexy, and I’d say it’s Hugh, Jon Hamm, and ASkars.
Also, yay! Lunchtime Poll is back!
Well Annie when you get bagged….you can comment. I mean really how a woman possibly understand this…lol omg

Um, excuse me, Mr. Jackman. Do you need any help with that?

He was clearly annoyed by his protection jockstrap…
