The X-Men star has already been on a Safari and, perhaps in an attempt to blend in with the locals, acquired a mullet.

Taking to Twitter he posted a picture roaring male lion accompanied by the caption, “What an amazing trip! Phinda Safari ... Justin, our ranger - extraordinary!”

He followed it up a short while later when he checked in from the movie set, adding a picture of the newly cut mullet for good measure.

“Day 1 on Chappie! Vincent is born, rocking the mullet. Working with Neill Blomkamp in SA. This film is rad.”

Jackman will star alongside Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel, Sigourney Weaver and Die Antwoord in the movie that has been described by Blomkamp as, “A science-fiction comedy thing.”
