Melbourne, Sep 29 (ANI): Aussie actor Hugh Jackman reportedly interrupted a Broadway performance of ‘A Steady Rain’ to address an audience member whose mobile phone kept ringing.
Jackman, 40, who was starring alongside actor Daniel Craig, 41, in the play, stopped in the middle of a tense dramatic scene, when the trilling of the phone started, and scolded the offender.
“You wanna get that? You wanna get that, grab it I don’t care,” News.com.au quoted him as saying.
“Grab your phone it doesn’t matter,” he stated.
A few seconds later, the phone started ringing again, prompting Jackman, still in character, to ask the person to get on stage.
“Come on, just turn it off unless you got a better story, you want to get up and tell your story?” he said.
Craig also added: “Can you get that, whoever it is can you just get it? We can wait just get the phone.”
‘A Steady Rain’ tells the story of two Chicago policemen whose lives are thrown into turmoil after they mistakenly hand a young boy back to a cannibalistic serial killer.
The plot mirrors a real life event involving US serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. (ANI)
