The 40-year-old Australian hunk claims the combat sport has had unexpected benefits for his career.He joked: "I want to work it. I love it - it's good for the eye. For my job, it helps. When other actors aren't doing what you want them to, you can punch them out!"The actor has even threatened to try out his skills on 'Unbound Captives' co-star Robert Pattinson, if the young actor fails to see the funny side of their respective heartthrob statuses.Hugh - who was voted People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2008 - added: "He'll laugh it all off. And if he doesn't I'll slap him around a little bit."
