Hugh Jackman was so overwhelmed by crowd of fans in NYC he hopped in stranger's SUV and asked for a ride

Hugh Jackman was so overwhelmed by a crowd of fans in NYC that he hopped into a stranger’s SUV for a ride.

Jackman had just wrapped a rehearsal for From New York, With Love at Radio City Music Hall when he found himself greeted by a mass of adoring fans.

Although he was willing to oblige requests for selfies and autographs, the 56-year-old actor had a busy schedule to keep to and needed a quick exit.

So what else to do in that situation other than rely on the kindness of strangers and hitch a ride with a random driver?

The moment that Hugh Jackman had to think on his feet and catch a ride in a stranger’s SUV in NYC

In his performances as Wolverine in the X-Men series, Hugh Jackman often saves the day.

And in his real life, he’s known to drive in an amazing array of cars, including an Audi R8, Porsche 911 Carrera, and a Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG.

But in this instance, it wasn’t a supercar that whisked Jackman away.

In fact, he had to rely on a random man off the street to give him a lift.

The actor had just finished rehearsals for an upcoming play when he left Radio City Music Hall to be greeted by a crowd of fans.

Although he was no doubt tired and wanting to get home, the actor kindly granted fans’ requests for selfies and autographs.

But everyone has their limit.

Eventually, he headed to the curb and stuck out his hand.

That might seem pretty standard at first – after all, isn’t NYC renowned for its yellow cabs?

But it wasn’t no cab he was hailing.

No, an average Joe in a SUV was the guy who pulled up and let Jackman catch a ride.

It does make you wonder why he didn’t have a car waiting for him outside.

He’s a star of considerable stature, so it should be expected that his appearance would draw a crowd.

Celebrity car stories often involve their stunning collections

It’s not often that we report on a celebrity having to carpool with a random person on the street.

After all, we’re all used to hearing about celebrities having enviable car collections.

We’ve seen power couples like Katy and Orlando or Taylor and Travis rack up some impressive hauls.

And then there’s stars like Shaquille O’Neal and Lady Gaga who manage to bring together an amazing collection all on their own.

Hugh Jackman is obviously no slouch when it comes to having money in the bank – one look at the $39 million New York apartment he sold is proof of that.
