Here in Australia right now you can't watch T.V. or listen to the radio without hearing about Oprah and her 'Ultimate Australian Adventure', and during the filming of the show today in Sydney the audience got more then they bargained for when Hugh 'Wolverine' Jackman made his entrance today.

As he flew down from the top of the Opera House to the stage, his leg caught a studio light – forcing a piece of lighting debris into his face, leaving a cut just above his right eye.
When he finally made it down onto the stage, in typical style, he got some booze and he made light of his injury;

"Bono was meant to do this but they couldn’t afford the insurance," he told the 6000-strong audience.

"That was too much fun. It was okay until the end".

A medic treated him on stage before stealing a hug from the Aussie star.

"I’ve never been hugged by a paramedic," Jackman laughed before placing an icepack on his eye.

Yeah, that was funny!
One comedian (Dave Hughes) said "that's how much Australia loves Oprah - We'll throw our most handsome man off the Opera House and smash his face into her stage! Just for Oprah!"
LOL!

This headline scared the crap out of me! I'm glad he's okay and it was just a minor injury.

I'd probably have a fit if 'The Wolverine' were to ever get postponed.
