Hugh Jackman admits he has been involved in fistfights.

He told the Daily Star, "I have been in plenty of fights, and I'm definitely not always the winner. The last time I was in the U.K. I got in an argument with a guy in a pub about the rugby or something and the next thing I was flat out on my face.

"Luckily, as an actor most people don't want to punch you in the face."

Hugh stars in the upcoming film "Real Steel"  about a retired pugilist who transitions to the business side of the ropes after human boxers are replaced by robotic ones.
