Nicole Kidman saved Hugh Jackman from a poisonous scorpion on the set of their new movie.
The pair are currently filming Baz Luhrmann's new movie 'Australia' in their home country and in one scene Nicole joins Hugh in a sleeping bag under the stars.
However, as the actress was about to join Hugh in the bag, she noticed he already had a far more dangerous sleeping companion.
An on-set source told the National Enquirer magazine: "Nicole gasped when Hugh opened the cover invitingly to reveal a poisonous scorpion creeping up his leg. She calmly told him not to move and squatted down, scooped the arachnid into her hat and walked over to the woods and released it."
"Everyone applauded but we did ask her why she hadn't just stomped on it. She said, 'I would never kill an animal. Every creature here has its purpose. This one just didn't belong in Hugh's bag!'"
