He's normally the picture of Hollywood hotness, but Hugh Jackman looked rather dastardly on Tuesday.

The Australian actor took his seat in the Royal Box of Centre Court at Wimbledon, where he looked like he might plunder the other VIP guests.

That was thanks to the vintage goatee and shaved head he has to wear for his role as Blackbeard in the upcoming Peter Pan movie.

The live-action fantasy based on J. M. Barrie's classic children's tale is directed by Joe Wright, and is currently being filmed in London.

The legendary story centres on an orphan boy who is spirited away to the magical Neverland, where he finds both fun and dangers, and ultimately discovers his destiny.

Though Blackbeard doesn't appear in the Disney animation, Wright's version of the story is actually a prequel to Barrie's novel, with Jackman's character the central villain.

Captain Hook does appear, with Garrett Hedlund in the role, but rather than being Pan's arch-nemesis they are actually allies as the one-handed pirate works on Blackbeard's ship.

Amanda Seyfried and Rooney Mara have been cast as Mary and Tiger Lily, while Cara Delevingne has secured a part though it has not been revealed as of yet.

Hugh managed to get a day off from filming to watch the matches on Centre Court on Day Two of Wimbledon.
