However, to achieve the level of brilliance while performing, Hugh Jackman had to make an important choice. The choice was surprisingly between belting out a tune or going to the toilet. Yes, you read it right, Jackman apparently had to hold in his pee in order to reach the perfect pitch. But unfortunately, things didn’t go according to his plan.
Speaking withBritish Vogue, Hugh Jackman thus revealed the most embarrassing moment of his career when he pissed himself onstage.
“I pissed my pants on stage. It’s the doozy of all doozies. The doctor told me I was dehydrated so, following direction, I drank so much water that by the time I was doing this number – in red tights, as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast – I basically had a choice of pissing my pants or not singing”
Sticking by his choice of singing, Jackman therefore pissed onstage and almost made a fool out of himself. But again, everyone faces such embarrassments once in a while.
