Ringing distracts actor on stage

Hugh Jackman received applause from the audience for poking fun at the fan

Hugh Jackman's new Broadway play was interrupted when an audience member's phone went off.

The actor, who stars alongside Daniel Craig in A Steady Rain, stayed in character as he responded to the culprit. 

'We can wait,' he told the crowd at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. ‘Don't be embarrassed - just grab it...

‘Come on, just turn it off. Unless you've got a better story. You want to get up and tell your stories?'

In the play, Hugh, 40, and Daniel, 41, play Chicago policemen whose friendship is tested by a personal tragedy.
