While taking a break from saving the world in superhero movies, Hugh Jackman got caught up in a real-life drama on Bondi Beach.
The Australian actor sprang to action when surf conditions changed suddenly, and video footage showed the star helping his son and another man to safety from strong currents.
But Peter Adam, who told the Nine Network he was the man being assisted in the clip, said: "He wasn't rescuing me. I was assisting him to get his daughter up to the sandbar.
"He then grabbed my hand to get us up."
Jackman was also seen beckoning swimmers to shore - away from the perilous conditions at sea.
One witness, Lynzey Murphy, told Sydney's Sunday Telegraph: "When we got in the water 20 minutes earlier it was fine. Then the water came up suddenly.
"Hugh just pulled them calmly on to the sandbar. He then said: 'All right, we are going to walk towards the flags.'"
A lifeguard told the newspaper that Bondi Beach was subsequently closed because of dangerous surf.
