Hugh Jackman’s Oprah Stunt Goes Wrong
Queen Oprah is in Australia this week, filming shows directly from the Sydney Opera House. So of course, she rounded up like, EVERY Australian celebrity that exists and corralled them onto her show: Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman, Olivia Newton-John, Terri Irwin and Russell Crowe were up on stage at various times with her highness, and un-Australian (but still phenomenally famous) Jay-Z and Bon Jovi made an appearance as well. However, every celeb was outshined by Hugh Jackman, whose superhero entrance via zip-line went horribly wrong when he failed to pull the brake and smashed head-on into the set scaffolding.
There are many jokes to be made here, like that his Adamantium skeleton saved his life, or that Wolverine would never look so foolish, or that Oprah needed a pure Australian’s blood to coat the stage before she agreed to give away any prizes to the public. I just think the best joke though is the fact that Hugh Jackman ZIP-LINED ONTO STAGE AND IT WENT HORRIBLY WRONG. There is actually no need to make a joke because WHY WAS HE ZIP-LINING ONTO STAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE IS THIS SIXTH GRADE CAMP?
Check out the video below and imagine how embarrassed he must be. Nice try, Mr. J. Nice try.
