Hugh Jackman works on skipping skills after ‘messing up’ routine

Hugh Jackman is sweating!

On Sunday, January 26, the actor, 56, posted a video on Instagram of his impressive skipping skills, having revealed a full routine two days earlier during his concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

“So here’s the thing … my trainer Beth Lewis and I worked for months and months to get me really close to being ready to do this jump rope choreo on stage,” Jackman explained in the caption.

“She has the patience of a saint!!! And while I still messed up, I had fun. And got to do it again 21 more times! Thanks @bethlewisfit #fromnewyorkwithlove @radiocitymusichall,” he added.

Jackman wore a sweat-soaked tank top and shorts in the clip as he smiled as he lightly jumped rope in the middle of a gym. He then switched the rope from either side of him and crossed his arms as he continued to jump.

The Deadpool and Wolverine star finished the routine by raising the rope and wrapping it around her arms in the air.

The skipping routine came as a surprise during the opening night of his concert series From New York, with love at Radio City Music Hall in NYC on Friday, January 24.

He shared his excited reaction to the successful first performance on Instagram Saturday, January 25.

“What an incredible night it was. We opened our show at @radiocitymusichall,” Jackman wrote in the caption. “It had all the emotions. The love, the mistakes, the sweat, the tears, the laughter and, and, and the love that came from the audience was huge. We all felt it.”

“And the icing on the cake is that we get to keep the party going 23 more times. Thank you to the cast and crew for your tireless efforts and talent,” Jackman added.
