Jackman was nearing the stage of the Oprah House when his leg struck a studio light – forcing a piece of debris into his eye.
Winfrey rushed to Jackman’s aid, with the Wolverrine star making light of his injury.
"Bono was meant to do this but they couldn’t afford the insurance,’’ Jackman told the 6000-strong audience.
"That was too much fun. It was okay until the end’’.
A medic treated Jackman on stage before stealing a hug from the Aussie star.
"I’ve never been hugged by a paramedic,’’ Jackman laughed before placing an icepack on his eye.
His whole body shook and when he abseiled onto the stage, he had hit his head. With his children watching in the audience and visibly upset, Jackman had blood from a cut above his right eye.
"Let's get some ice otherwise its going to swell," said Oprah while wiping his head. After a few minutes treatment, Jackman was back on stage and making light of it.
He said he hadn't pulled the brake hard enough. "That was so much fun until the end," he said
