Hugh Jackman Reveals TMI Details About Peeing His Pants Onstage

Jackman drank up to two gallons of water on a naturopath's advice before a 1995 show, then continued performing after accidentally wetting himself onstage before 1,500 people.

  • During a Wednesday appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Hugh Jackman recalled accidentally urinating onstage while playing Gaston in the 1995 Australian production of Beauty and the Beast before about 1,500 people.
  • A naturopath diagnosed dehydration and advised heavy hydration, so Jackman said, `So that first day,` he drank two gallons before a show.
  • During the climactic solo, Hugh Jackman lifted the actor playing Belle and said `a little bit of piss` came out, but he chose to sing the F-sharp and walked offstage while wet.
  • Backstage his dresser noticed the wetness within three minutes as Jackman walked offstage, though the audience of about 1,500 seemed unaware, so Jackman avoided heavy pre-show drinking afterward.
  • Despite the gaffe, Hugh Jackman continued major stage and film productions including The Greatest Showman and Les Misérables, with his upcoming film Song Sung Blue arriving Dec. 25.
