Hugh Jackman has claimed that his loves scenes with Nicole Kidman in Australia are "like poetry".

Jackman said his partner Deborra-Lee Furness and Kidman's husband Keith Urban were not on set during filming, but insisted there was no jealousy from either spouse.

"They both get it," he told People. "But I don't think they want to be on the set watching the monitor."

Speaking about his on-screen romance with Kidman, he commented: "We spoke of setting boundaries.

"I won't tell all the nitty gritty. But [director Baz Luhrmann] treats love scenes like choreography. The camera is like a dancer. If you watch any of his movies, visually, the love scenes are like poetry."
