Magneto and Sabretooth couldn't faze him, but "X-Men" and "Wolverine" star Hugh Jackman was no match for Oprah Winfrey and the Sydney Opera House Tuesday, when his splashy, zip-line entrance to an "Oprah" taping ended with a crash into a lighting rig above the outdoor stage.

"Oh! . . . Oh! Jeez!" a mic'd Winfrey can be heard saying in an amateur video posted on the website of The Sydney Morning Herald. "Are you OK? Are you OK?"

"I came in a little hot there, I think," replied the nonplused Aussie actor - who suffered a black eye and some facial bleeding - as he dangled about 30 feet in the air. "Yeah, I'm not a hundred percent here."

"Quite an entrance, Hugh," Winfrey quipped as paramedics rushed to the stage.

"It's good to be here," he quipped right back, to a relieved audience's laughter. Jackman told paramedics he had a sore arm and that his back had seized up, according to Brisbane-based newspaper The Courier-Mail. He was treated with ice and a glass of red wine backstage, and joked that it was a great ride "right up until the end."

Jackman returned with a bandage under one eye and joined fellow Australians Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman and Olivia Newton-John and New Zealander Keith Urban for the show's grand finale.
