A desperate Hugh Jackman hopped into a random stranger's car in order to escape a throng of screaming fans in New York City this week.
In footage obtained by DailyMail.com, the 56-year-old was seen emerging from Radio City Music Hall, where he will play his From New York With Love concert Friday.
He was immediately confronted by crowd of admirers shrieking with delight and asking for autographs, and he amiably complied, grinning and chatting with them.
Eventually he said: 'Thank you,' and extricated himself from the mass of people, walking briskly down the sidewalk in an apparent attempt to make a quick exit.
Even by that point, the X-Men superstar was unable to avoid overenthusiastic admirers scampering up to him and demanding photos, which he agreed to take, though his smile began to tighten and he kept walking as he posed.
In the end, his only way out was to wave down a strange man's car and say: 'How you doing, brother? Where you going?,' before sliding rapidly into the backseat.

On the personal front, a source claimed earlier this year that Hugh hopes to marry his girlfriend and former Broadway co-star Sutton Foster, 50.
Sutton and Hugh starred in a Broadway revival of The Music Man together throughout 2022, and were rumored to have conducted an extramarital affair that led to his split from his wife Deborra-Lee Furness in September 2023.
Meanwhile Sutton filed for divorce from her husband, Ocean's Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin, in October 2024 after 10 years of marriage.
Last month, after officially filing for divorce, Deborra-Lee gave an exclusive statement to DailyMail.com in which she took an unmistakable swipe at her estranged husband.
'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.'
Deborra-Lee added: 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.'
She acknowledged: 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.'
Deborra-Lee noted that the 'one thing' she learned was 'that none of this is personal' and that 'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random.'

She concluded: 'We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves...I remain grateful.'
Sutton and Hugh went public as a couple this January, and it has since been claimed that he intends to marry her once his divorce is finalized.
'Hugh had a lot of back and forth while he was in Australia for the holidays but ultimately, he realized how much he missed her,' an insider told Sky News.
'The magic came flooding back when they reunited and ultimately marriage is the end game for these two. Hugh is clear he wants to make Sutton his wife.'
Deborra-Lee and Hugh met in 1995 on the Australian television series Corelli, and he proposed four months later, marrying her in 1996 and welcoming two children with her, their son Oscar, 25, and their daughter Ava, 19.

Although they split in 2023, Deborra-Lee did not officially file for divorce until this May - and in January, a source told DailyMail.com why the process was forestalled.
'One of the biggest reasons why they haven't yet filed is that they never had a prenup,' shared an insider close to Hugh, who is reportedly worth over $100 million.
'When they got married, they thought it would be forever. Who doesn't? At the time, neither of them expected Hugh's career to get as enormous as it has.'
'Because there was no prenup, and he made a fortune during their marriage, this divorce is not going to be cut and dry. It may even get messy because the stakes are high. A lot of moving parts need to be worked out and there is a huge amount of money involved.'
A source then claimed in March that the couple were 'struggling to reach an agreement on how to divide their assets,' with Deborra-Lee allegedly feeling 'entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer.'
