HUGH JACKMAN AND DANIEL CRAIG LOSE COMPOSURE AS RINGING PHONE INTERRUPTS SHOW

TWO OF HOLLYWOOD'S TOUGHEST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER LEADING MEN RECENTLY LOST THEIR COMPOSURE AT A THEATERGOER FOR LEAVING HIS MOBILE PHONE ON WHILE THEY PERFORMED ON BROADWAY. JAMES BOND STAR DANIEL CRAIG AND X-MEN'S HUGH JACKMAN MANAGED TO STAY IN CHARACTER, THOUGH APPEARED STUNNED, AS THE PHONE RANG. BUT AS THE RINGING CONTINUED, THEIR PATIENCE WAS PUSHED TO THE LIMIT AND THEY TOLD THE MEMBER OF THE AUDIENCE TO 'ANSWER THAT CALL'. THE PAIR WERE DEEPLY IMMERSED IN 'A STEADY RAIN'. IN WHICH THEY PORTRAY TOUGH CHICAGO COPS, WHEN THE PHONE SOUNDED. JACKMAN STOMPED ABOUT THE STAGE AS HE ASKED: 'YOU WANNA GET THAT? COME ON, JUST TURN IT OFF. UNLESS YOU'VE GOT A BETTER STORY. YOU WANT TO GET UP AND TELL YOUR STORIES?' THE AUDIENCE LAUGHED AND GAVE JACKMAN A ROARING ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR TAKING A STAND. SECONDS LATER, ANOTHER PHONE RANG. CRAIG RESPONDED: 'JUST GET THE PHONE.' THEIR COOL APPROACH WAS IN CONTRAST TO ACTOR RICHARD GRIFFITHS, WHO IN 2005, ORDERED A WOMAN OUT OF A WEST END SHOWING OF 'HEROES' AFTER HER PHONE RANG DURING THE PERFORMANCE. SET AGAINST A SPARSE BLACK BACKDROP, THE PLAY TELLS THE STORY OF TWO POLICEMEN AND HOW THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS CHANGED FOREVER BY A DOMESTIC DISPUTE. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE MAINLY KNOWN FOR THEIR DIVERSE MOVIE WORK, BOTH ACTORS ARE EXPERIENCED STAGE ACTORS.
