Hugh Jackman hits Bondi Beach for an early morning swim with his personal trainer in Sydney, Australia.

I wish I were a bead of water.

Hugh Jackman was left red faced during a stage stint as Gaston in Beauty + The Beast - when he peed himself in front of a packed house.

The Aussie actor started guzzling water before performances, to fight dehydration headaches, but it left him desperate for a pee during the show.

And one night, he just couldn’t hold it in.

He tells Playboy magazine, “I thought, ‘I’ll be all right.’ The number featured (character) Belle and me; I chased her around the stage, lifting her up, dragging her, singing the whole time. Then I realised, ‘No way!’

“I was sucking in air, trying to sing and dance. I picked her up and realised I peed my pants a little. The very last note is a big time F sharp… (and) you have to release certain muscles to hit it, the same ones that allow you to hold on when you have to go to the bathroom.

“I thought, ‘S**t, if I sing this note, I’m going to pee my pants; if I don’t, I’m going to look humiliated. The actor in me took over.”

Jackman thought he’d got away with it when he looked down and saw no trace he’d relieved himself onstage: “I thought, ‘These red tights must be waterproof’. I was laughing as if I’d gotten away with it. But the audience was looking at me funny. It had seeped through and my pants were completely wet.”

Hugh Jackman has decided against passing along parenting advice to new mom Nicole Kidman.

The X-Men star, a father of two, confesses he didn’t like receiving advice when he was a new parent, so he spared friend and Australia co-star Kidman and her husband Keith Urban any tips when they welcomed daughter Sunday Rose earlier this month.

He says, “I didn’t give any advice because anyone who’s actually had kids knows there’s nothing more annoying than all the advice you get on how to do it. You know you’re going to stuff it up in some way or other. Actually the best bit of advice was from the guy who delivered the baby, when my first son Oscar was born. He came in and the birth happened about two minutes later and as he was leaving he said, ‘Congratulations, don’t rock the baby.’ Cut to two weeks later, the baby won’t sleep and we’re rocking it. That’s the only advice I give. Don’t rock the baby because you end up spending your life doing it. But I didn’t give that to Keith or Nicole.”

Kidman also has two adopted children, Connor and Isabella, from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise.
