Armie Hammer was mortified when he accidentally showed a hairstylist nude photos of himself.

The 28-year-old's buff body has women around the world swooning, but he was snapped up by wife Elizabeth Chambers in 2010. Last December the couple welcomed daughter Harper and the new dad is absolutely smitten with his little girl.

So much so, he couldn't help but show someone photos of her recently - without realising what was in the background.

"I found out today that I have nude pictures on my phone, I'm not kidding. I went out to get a haircut 'cause this is a special occasion, I'm gonna be on the Kimmel show, so I went to get my haircut and then [I] said, 'I just had a daughter,' and she said, 'Do you have any pictures of your daughter' I said, 'Of course, I've got tons of pictures,'" he recalled to talkshow host Jimmy Kimmel. "And I'm going through my phone and there's pictures of my daughter and I get to pictures where she's sitting in the sink and she's kinda lounging up on the sink and she looks like she's having the time of her life. I'm showing her these pictures, I go, 'Look at how cute she is, we're in the bathroom, she's just right in the bathtub.'

"After showing her these pictures for about 30 seconds, I realise I'm standing fully nude in the mirror of this bathroom. As quickly and casually as possible I went, 'Anyway, you get the picture.'"

He wasn't sure whether she noticed and was ladylike enough not to bring it up, or that she didn't spot him in the background; which Jimmy joked would be bad for Armie.

The handsome star was on the show to promote his upcoming spy flick The Man From U.N.C.L.E., in which he and Henry Cavill play rival agents who join forces to overcome a mutual enemy.

It wasn't just the storyline which Armie enjoyed as he gushed about director Guy Ritchie.

"It was the best," he said. "In this case you're doing a movie with Guy Ritchie who... everybody here has seen a Guy Ritchie movie, they're familiar with his sense of style and what he brings to the movie, but what you don't realise is that same sense of fun and style that he brings to his movies, he also brings to his personal life."
