Hugh Jackman is to play a man with male genitalia attached to his face

The 41-year-old Australian actor will star opposite Kate Winslet in the comedy, which is being made by There`s Something About Mary director Peter Farrelly. The movie will be made up of 17 short films, with Hugh and Kate appearing in one of them.

Their segment sees a woman, played by Kate, going on a date with a man whose testicles hang from his chin, played by Hugh.

Gerard Butler, Naomi Watts, Justin Long and Sam Rockwell will also appear in other shorts in the as-yet-untitled movie.

Meanwhile, Hugh has revealed his favourite nocturnal pastime - swimming naked with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness. The couple love spending their free time nude bathing at Sydney`s Bondi Beach.

"My favourite date is skinny-dipping in Bondi Beach at midnight," Hugh said.
