Hugh Jackman will be hosting the upcoming Oscar's ceremony completely naked. The Australian actor has bravely announced that he will follow a string of rumours about his role in the show.
Jackman has been at the centre of wide speculation about his role as MC at the Academy Awards on Sunday 22 Feb. '09 night ever since he was unveiled as the event's host last year.
Recent internet reports have revealed that he will open the glitzy ceremony by performing a song and dance routine with Oscar nominee, Anne Hathaway.
Jackman has now taken the opportunity to make fun of the endless gossip surrounding the event by jokingly declaring that he will land on the stage completely naked and would sing all his links.
"I haven't told anyone this, but we are going to do most of it naked and we're going to sing through the whole show. There will be a strategic leaf placed here or there. We don't want to be distasteful or anything. This is a raw night. This is the Oscars. Raw emotion, that's the quality we're going for," smilingly stated the X-Man series actor.
