Hugh Jackman: I wet myself on stage

Actor couldn't control his bladder during play

Hugh Jackman is Australian

Hugh Jackman has revealed he once wet himself live on stage.

The X-Men actor found himself desperate for the toilet while performing in the musical Beauty and the Beast.

‘I thought… “If I sing this note, I’m going to pee my pants,” he tells Playboy.

‘I was singing, thinking, “wow, I’m peeing my pants.”

But Hugh, 40, thought the audience hadn’t noticed what had happened.

‘I was laughing as if I had gotten away with it,’ he says. ‘But the audience was looking at me funny.

‘It had seeped through and my pants were completely wet. The audience could see it.’
