Hugh Jackman Recalls Bombing Audition Singing ‘Stars’ from ‘Les Misérables’ 30 Years Ago: ‘I Cracked on the Final Note So Spectacularly’
Hugh Jackman recalled belting out 'Stars' from Les Misérables the first time he had to sing at an audition 30 years.
Hugh Jackman earned an Oscar nomination for his work as Jean Valjean in “Les Misérables,” but things didn’t go so well decades ago while belting out the musical’s “Stars” when he had to sing for the first time at an audition. He continued singing, “We live in a place surrounded by sea and koalas sitting among gum trees,” before capturing big laughs with the line, “And every single girl looks like Margot Robbie, thank God I’m an Ozzy boy.” The 2025 Hollywood Bowl season includes Cynthia Erivo and Adam Lambert starring in “Jesus Christ Superstar” for two nights, Aug. 1 and 2.
