Hugh Jackman Reveals His Most Embarrassing Moment — When He Peed His Pants Onstage!
Even celebrities have embarrassing moments!
In a new interview, Hugh Jackman confessed he once accidentally peed his pants while performing onstage as Gaston in a production of 'Beauty and the Beast'.
"It was my most embarrassing moment in life. I was getting these headaches so was told to drink three liters of water a day and me being me, I drank four," the 46-year-old actor recalled.
Hugh performing in 'The Boy from Oz' in 2006.
"I'd just peed, but was waiting backstage and I was like, 'I really need to go again.' But it was my cue, so I walked onstage really needing to go again. That first number was very energetic and I was very exposed in red tights.
"As I am about to sing the last note I thought, 'If I sing this note I'm peeing my pants but if I don't, I'm going to be humiliated in front of two thousand people.' I was singing and peeing my pants!" the actor told UK TV host Graham Norton of the incident that took place in Australia in the 90s.
