Hugh Jackman: Love Scenes With Nicole 'Like Poetry'

People:

When Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman had to get down and dirty for their new film, Australia, their spouses Keith Urban and Deborra-Lee Furness were far from the action ... on purpose!

"My wife is an actor," Jackman, 40, tells PEOPLE. "They both get it. But I don't think they want to be on the set watching the monitor."

Still, filming love scenes with Kidman, 41, "couldn't have been better or easier," he says. "We spoke of setting boundaries."

So did Jackman wear anything for the steamy scenes?

"I won't tell all the nitty gritty," he says coyly. "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."

Hugh, watching you in ANYTHING is like poetry! (OK, maybe not that stinky movie you did with Ewan McGregor. . .) I can't wait to see "Australia"!!

I'll watch anything with Hugh Jackman in it - even if it's paint drying (sigh, sigh...).

Lucky Nicole...damn he is so hot. I cannot wait to see this movie.

I'm fond of the film, Out of Africa, because of it's sweeping scenic views. I'm hoping with the delicious love story, the film is a beautiful panorama of Australia.

It will have to go far to outpace "Out Of Africa". That was one of the most wonderful films of all time.

I think they are both very sexy people and look forward to seeing the movie. I'll bet they have great chemistry.
