Hugh Jackman went up to quite an extent to stop an unknown person’s phone ringing while he was on the stage. The Australian actor  stopped a Broadway show to ask a theatergoer to put the phone on silent mode. This must have been a lesson for all and we can just say that from now on theatergoers won’t forget to turn their cell phone off.

“You want to get that?”, said Jackman, who was interrupted while performing a tense moment from “A Steady Rain”. With Daniel Craig starring opposite to Jackman the show will open on Tuesday.

As the phone rang and continued ringing Jackman said, “Grab your phone, it doesn’t matter. Come on, just turn it off … we can wait. Just get the phone”. And then the handsome actor added, “Don’t be embarrassed. Just grab it”.

A video of the incident posted on YouTube showed that none of the audience members tried to reach for the phone to avoid getting embarrassed. The phone went ringing, as Jackman pointed sharp words at the audience, and after a while it stopped.

Besides the 40 year old Jackman and 41 year old Craig the play will also star high profile actors like Geoffrey Rush, Catherine Zeta Jones, Sienna Miller, and Jude Law.
