"Looks like Hugh Jackman can give Gerard Depardieu a run for his money!\r\nDepardieu may have urinated on a plane, but Real Steel&amp;apos;s Jackman has him beat: He once relieved himself on stage, in front of a theater audience.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The first show I ever did, singing and dancing, was Beauty and the Beast. I was playing Gaston,&amp;quot; Jackman, 42, tells Rachael Ray in an interview airing Friday. &amp;quot;Gaston has red tights, knee high boots, and it&amp;apos;s very physical. I had headaches everyday for two months. I went to an astropath [psychic] and he said &amp;apos;Well, you&amp;apos;re dehydrated.&amp;apos; So of course [following his advice] I had four liters of water,&amp;quot; says Jackman of his 1996 theater days in Melbourne, Australia.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I go down to the stage, getting ready for my first number&amp;#x2026;and I&amp;apos;m like I really need to go again. [The routine is] the most cardiovascular song I&amp;apos;ve ever done: literally I&amp;apos;m picking up Belle and as I pick her up, I stopped singing and right in that moment I realized the muscles you need to release in order to sing are the ones you do not want to release if you need to go,&amp;quot; the actor tells Ray.\r\n\r\nUrinating on stage in front of the audience, Jackman says he had to forgo the number in order to relieve himself.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m carrying her [over one shoulder] not singing, and she&amp;apos;s going &amp;apos;What&amp;apos;s going on? What&amp;apos;s going on?&amp;apos; So finally, it&amp;apos;s embarrassing at this point,&amp;quot; he tells Ray. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve not sung an entire verse.&amp;quot;\r\nHugh Jackman&amp;apos;s interview on The Rachael Ray Show airs Friday (check local listings)."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
