Zac Efron Recalls on 'Graham Norton' How Cycling with Hugh Jackman Almost Got Him Killed!

Zac Efron is all smiles while making an appearance on The Graham Norton Show‘s New Year’s Eve spectacular, airing on New Year’s Eve (December 31).

The 49-year-old actor was joined on the big couch by his The Greatest Showman co-stars Zendaya and Hugh Jackman, as well as Gary Oldman and Doctor Foster‘s Suranne Jones.

On the show, Zac tells a genuinely alarming story about how his life almost ended thanks to Hugh: “I cycled with him in London but I’m not one to ride a bike early in the morning in traffic so it turned out to be quite dangerous,” Zac recalled. “I followed Hugh around a few cars and suddenly there was a double decker bus right in front of me.”

“I slammed on the brakes, went under the front tyre and narrowly missed death. Hugh was on the other side of the road and stuck up his thumb and just said, ‘You good? Let’s go,’” Zac concluded.

During the show, Graham asked Hugh to channel P.T. Barnum, who he plays in The Greatest Showman, to introduce all the talented guests on the couch – Watch below!
