Jackman, who is currently starring in \"The Music Man\" on Broadway and was temporarily replaced after his COVID diagnosis by his understudy Max Clayton, has been keeping busy in his downtime.

On Thursday, he posted an Instagram video with an outtake of himself and wife Deborra-Lee Furness, dressed to the nines for the Met Gala back on May 2. Unlike his sharp tux and tails, Jackman's delivery in the video is anything but smooth as he flubs his line to the camera and blows a raspberry.

\"Things to do when you have covid. Again,\" Jackman captioned the clip. \"Clean out your iPhone photos and videos.\"

The two-time Tony winner will return to \"The Music Man\" at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre on Wednesday, June 22.
