Hugh Jackman may need a help in the kitchen following his split from longtime wife Deborra-Lee Furness.
The Australian actor, who is a single man for the first time in 27 years, took to Instagram Stories on Thursday with a glimpse into the unglamorous reality of his bachelor lifestyle.
To his fans’ amusement, the 54-year-old shared a photo of his dishwasher exploding with soap suds, after a disastrous attempt at washing several cups and plastic containers.
The Wolverine star simply accompanied the post with an ‘oops!’ icon.
Using the incorrect detergent, or using too much product, are common causes of dishwashers overflowing with suds.

While Hugh may once have called his estranged wife, 67, for help, it seems the star may was forced to deal with his domestic disaster alone.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee shocked their fans earlier this month when they announced they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage.
‘We have been blessed to share almost three decades together in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,’ the couple said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE earlier this month.

‘Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition.’
The former couple signed the statement as ‘Deb and Hugh Jackman,’ adding: ‘This is the sole statement either of us will make.’
The Australian couple share two children together; Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18.

Last April, the pair celebrated their anniversary and Jackman had posted a gushing tribute to his wife on Instagram.
‘I love you Deb. Today is our 27th wedding anniversary. 27 years! I love you so much,’ the actor wrote in his caption.
‘Together we have created a beautiful family. And life. Your laughter, your spirit, generosity, humour, cheekiness, courage, and loyalty is an incredible gift to me. I love you with all my heart,’ he shared in the heartfelt post.
While he is undoubtedly more well known than his wife, Deborra-Lee had already shot 20 movies by the time she and Jackman met while costarring as a prison psychologist and a brain-damaged convict in ABC TV’s 10-episode series Correlli in 1995.
Deborra-Lee most recently played Jill Bailey alongside Eric Bana in Robert Connolly’s sequel Force of Nature: The Dry 2, which was released in Australian and New Zealand theaters on August 24.
In February, Hugh told Smooth Radio: ‘I think honesty and intimacy and making time [are the secret to a long and happy marriage]. You can’t just assume that things will just tick along okay. You have to make time.’
