"The Wolverine" star, who has adopted children, Oscar, 13 and eight-year-old Ava, with wife Deborra-Lee Furness, wants to spend some quality time with his family, reported Contactmusic.
"I'm taking a little while off, I don't know if I'm taking a year, this movie now is my fourth movie a row. I'm being very greedy. There's a thing called being in the dog box, that's me," Jackman said.
The 44-year-old actor admits he has no qualms about stripping down on-screen as it's his job as an actor to flaunt his body.
"You know the guys that really like being naked, I'm not one of those, but I have no issues, actors you've kind of got to, that's part of the territory. If you've ever been to theatre backstage nudity is pretty much as normal as wearing clothes.
