The Oprah Show Smacks Hugh Jackman in the Face

The excitement around the Oprah show has become less and less contained and more and more out of hand over the years. Whether it’s Tom Cruise jumping on a couch, or the audience being brought to a frenzy over a free blender, it was just a matter of time until someone got hurt. That someone is Hugh Jackman. Instead of walking to the stage for his appearance on one of Oprah down under shows,  he swooped in  from the top of the Sydney Opera House on a zip line, forgot to hit the break and hit a light instead. He later said “That was so much fun until the end. I came down waving to everyone, looking over Sydney Harbor, saw my dad, the kids and you, went to pull the brake and then boing… I’m OK… It doesn’t hurt.” If Oprah continues to mount excitement and make everything an over the top spectacular, let’s hope no one else gets hurt.
