Even though women swoon over his good looks and sexy Aussie accent, Hugh Jackman was still a bit rough around the edges when it came time to play the perfect English duke.

To get into his Kate & Leopold role, Hugh took etiquette and horse-riding lessons. The star’s says his daily lessons taught him the “proper way to walk up stairs, bow, eat, drink, dance, sit and not gesticulate when I talk.” Meg was treated like a queen.

It doesn’t seem that Hugh’s had much problems in the past with winning over the women, though as the X-Men star claims he’s bedded over 700 women. Good thing he’s married now.
