Japanese model-turned-actress Rila Fukushima said her character\u2019s friendship with X-Men<\/em> favourite Wolverine – played by Hugh Jackman – has made her friends jealous.<\/p>\n

Fukushima plays Logan\u2019s self-appointed bodyguard \u2013 the flame-haired badass, Yukio \u2013 in The Wolverine.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI really liked the scene when Yukio is passed out on the floor and Logan is all \u2018Don\u2019t hit my friend!\u2019 \u2013 I mean I get to play a character who is friends with the Wolverine!\u201d laughs Fu-kushima. \u201cMy friends love that moment too, they get jealous that I play a friend of Logan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The respect and friendship between Yukio and Logan stood out in the film, and stayed re-freshingly platonic \u2013 something Fukushima appreciated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s definitely a special emotional connection between them. Yukio is an outsider and so is Logan and they\u2019re both soldiers so they have this special bond. When Yukio is look-ing for Logan, I\u2019m pretty sure she feels something special. It\u2019s like she feels she knows this person, and she has a special ability too.\u201d<\/p>\n
