The 44-year-old actor, who is currently promoting The Wolverine, told Australia's Kyle and Jackie O Show that he needs some time off following four major films in close succession. Jackman will also appear in X Men: Days of Future Past next year.

The exact length of his sabbatical was not revealed. "I'm taking a little while off. I don't know if I'm taking a year."

Hinting at a need to spend more time with his family, he added: "I'm being very greedy. There's a thing called being in the dog box, that's me.''

Speaking of his long standing role as X Men's clawed mutant, the actor said: "I'd be lying if I said I chose that role. At the time, I would have taken anything. It was my first job in America, but I happened to sort of find this character that is eternally fascinating to me."

Speaking to reporters at a London charity event, the fourth in line to the throne said: "When I saw him he was crying his eyes out like all babies do I suppose, but it's fantastic to have another addition to the family.

"I only hope my brother knows how expensive my baby sitting charges are," he joked.

The 28-year-old royal also revealed that his brother is well suited to fatherhood after meeting his nephew for the first time on Wednesday.

Asked what role he will play in Prince George's childhood, he replied: "To make sure he has a good upbringing, to keep him out of harm's way and make sure he has fun. The rest of it I'll leave to the parents."

Harry's comments come after Kate and William relocated to the Middleton family home in Berkshire on Wednesday, after spending a night at their London bolthole in Kensington Palace.
