Hugh Jackman suffers injury on Oprah Winfrey
Even though Jackman didn't seem seriously hurt at the time of the incident, Oprah Winfrey, immediately concerned for the actor's safety, halted production to tend to her banged-up guest. Hugh suffered a major gash just below his right eye, and needed six paramedics to remove him from the scene.
After a short break, Jackman, ever the trooper, returned to the stage with a Band-Aid on his face and a bruise visibly swelling on his cheek. He claimed that the overwhelming response from the audience caused him to lose his concentration and hit the brake on his flying fox a second too late, "That was so much fun until the end. I came down waving to everyone, looking over Sydney Harbour, saw my dad, the kids and you, went to pull the brake and then boing."
Jackman told the audience that he had suffered worse in his career as an actor, and then went onto school Oprah in the ways of Vegemite. You can watch the injury in the video below:
The Wolverine comes to theaters July 26th, 2013 and stars Hugh Jackman. The film is directed by James Mangold.

luckily he's okay. Thats the sign on a true entertainer. Even when he gets hurt, it's in such a way that it entertains the masses. :P

How odd, I just got rid of a cist which was on my lower eye lid, only to find out that Hugh injured himself.
which eye? left or right
It'll take a week to heal, for both of us
