Congratulations, Hugh "P.P." Jackman, On Your Hollywood Footprints!

thumbnail icon: Congratulations, Hugh "P.P." Jackman, On Your Hollywood Footprints!

This morning, Hugh Jackman, star of Wolverine: Origins and pee-er of his own pants, was granted one of Hollywood's highest honors: immortalizing his foot and handprints in cement in front of the historic Grauman's Chinese theater. Reported the Australian Associated Press:

Jackman's prints sit alongside the legends of Hollywood including Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, Doris Day and Humphrey Bogart.

He told the watching crowd: "I have to tell you, this particular block of real estate has brought me two moments in my life I thought would never ever happen.

"Hosting the Oscars and now here today. It means the world to me to be here."

Of course, neither Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, Doris Day, nor Humphrey Bogart ever peed their pants as adults. The actors in them never took over, which is why none of us remember who any of them are today. The event was scheduled to coincide with the release of Wolverine: Origins, making it incredibly important and super respectable, exactly what you would expect from a man whose pants are rarely dry due to his frequent unrestrained public urination in them.

Congratulations, Hugh Jackman. You make history like you make water: constantly!

The reality of adult incontinence hits close to home for you, doesn't it?

Hugh Jackman deserves everyone of these pee-posts. Never stop them.

Couldn't agree more. For those people who gripe about the pee-pants posts: what, do you have something better to do?

I've never been here before but just wondered if you the other commenters are just mean to everyone or is this your idea of humor?

Burgess, a GROWN ADULT peed his pants on stage in front of a live audience.
We're done here.

Then he told everyone about it and didn't even have to decency to chalk it up to a sweaty vag like Fergie did.

I feel like you're just beating a dead horse. He's not even arguing against you.

I like it.

Hmm... well actually Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, etc. were all pretty big boozers, Monroe was definitely a pill-popper... I'm gonna say YES, they probably did pee themselves on occasion. So Hugh's in good company.

So, I can't be too sure, but does Hugh Jackman pee his pants? I don't think you mention it NEARLY enough.

When newbies (like Burgess) come along, you have to wonder what the hell they were doing (googling?) to come across a post like this. I for one was trying to find that graveyard sex scene from True Blood because youtube deemed it pornographic, and that's how Videogum + Me fell in love. I think we all have a shameful story to share in regards to finding Videogum...
