Nicole Kidman Saves Hugh Jackman From Nasty Sting  7/19/07

Actress Nicole Kidman proved her co-star credentials by saving Hugh Jackman from a venomous scorpion on set.

The pair are currently shooting Baz Luhrmann's Australia in their native country and snuggle up in sleeping bags under the stars for one scene.

But local wildlife almost held up filming when a scorpion came dangerously close to attacking Jackman.

A source tells British newspaper The Daily Star, "Nicole gasped when Hugh opened the cover invitingly to reveal a poisonous scorpion creeping up his bag.

"She calmly told him not to move, squatted down and scooped the creepy crawly into her hat."
