Hugh Jackman Pukes His Pants

thumbnail icon: Hugh Jackman Pukes His Pants

Oh man. As we all know, Hugh Jackman pees his pants on a regular basis. Every film that he is in has a line item in the budget for "dry pants" and that line item is in the millions of dollars. But apparently pee is not the only hot liquid he is constantly ejecting from his body. He also vomits. A lot. He only vomits a little less than he pees, apparently. From IMDB:

Hugh Jackman once missed the chance to meet former British prime minister Tony Blair - because he was too busy vomiting.

The X-Men actor starred in the 1998 London production of musical Oklahoma! and during his run at the National Theatre, the leading politician made a special trip to see the show.

But the Australian actor had been struck down with a migraine - and spent most of the performance rushing off stage to be sick.

And the illness meant the star was confined to the bathroom when he was supposed to be meeting the ex-Labour party chief after the show.

He tells Britain's FHM magazine, "I remember having a migraine when Tony Blair came to see Oklahoma!. I was going into the wings and throwing up whenever I was off stage, and afterwards Tony Blair came backstage to meet the cast, and of course I was throwing up."

Of course you were, Hugh.

What is it with this guy and proudly recounting bodily fluid anecdotes in every interview? Hugh Jackman, Master of Anecdotes.

Also, now that we've covered Hugh Jackman peeing and puking his pants in public, you know there's really only one story left to tell, riiiiiiiiight? AND SO WE WAIT. (Thanks for the tip, Max.)

Do you guys ever ride horses, or just beat them after they're dead?

You know, there's just some dead horses that keep getting funnier the more you beat them.

Wait, there's only one story that we're waiting for?
He can still shit his pants, creme his pants, sneeze his pants, bloody discharge his pants... really as long as there's pants, Hugh can mess them.
When's his birthday? Everyone send him pants. Pants it Forward.

this horse was a miscarriage. It never was funny. You have been beating a dead fetus for way to long.

I'm disappointed. While I find this to be a very fascinating factoid about Hugh, I am upset that you chose to soil the pee-pee panties joke with one about puke. While both pee-pee and puke start with the letter "p," that is where the similarity in humor between the two terms ends.

Like two children, pee-pee and puke are both equally funny, but in different ways. And like two children from different mothers, should be kept separate.

Please, refrain from mixing my beloved pee-pee jokes with my equally beloved pukey jokes.

Also, I think it'd be the best ability ever to puke on command. Just imagine running into an old acquaintance on the street and he or she starts in with the "What have you been up to?" bullshit, and you start going through the "Oh working and hanging out, I got a job over at BAAAAAAARF" Fucking golden. Like pee-pee.

that's a good idea.
i've always said that diarrhea is the best excuse for getting out of anything because no one ever wants to inquire further because ew but vomiting on cue would be a lot more immediate.
ohman, i am totally chuckling O L at both of those.

Hugh Jackman is just living at a higher (more urine-sodden and puke-filled) level than the rest of us could ever dream of living at. I think he might be my hero?

So apparently, Hugh Jackman peed his pants once. Have you read this, have you heard about this?

God, Gabe's like the friend who's a giant asshole but still somehow your friend who you told that you cried at the end of Titanic and now every time you see him he sings the first few lines of "My Heart Will Go On" and everyone thought it was funny the first few times but now it's just kind of mean and a little bit sad that he can't say anything else funny and everyone just kind of chuckles but just so it's not awkward and they don't want to make him feel bad.

Gabe's that guy. With the Hugh Jackman thing.

The phrase "pukes his pants" is pretty funny though, purely on an aesthetic level.

Wonder Showzen said Puke His Pants in the early 00s. Videogum made 'puke his pants' jump the shark.

Oh come on, who hasn't puked their pants those two times in college sophomore within a few weeks of each other the first time because oops and the second time because you noticed that it left no detectable except for you running back to your own dorm room in your underwear with your pants slung over your shoulder like a santa sack full of vomit?


Honestly.
