Hugh Jackman Shares Hidden Emotional Met Gala Moment

has shared a moving moment at the Met Gala that the cameras didn't capture. 

The Australian actor attended the prestigious ball in New York on Monday, with his new girlfriend on his arm. 

Jackman, 57, sat down with the US Today Show after the event and recalled the moment that iconic singer joined pop star Sabrina Carpenter on stage during the entertainment portion of the evening. 

Even in a room full of A-listers, many were starstruck by the performance, including superstar Beyoncé, who excitedly tapped her 14-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, when the two women launched into a song. 

'Stevie Nicks came out and sang and I was sitting,' Jackman explained. 

'I'm gonna do some more name dropping, but there was Beyoncé and , and I look over, and Beyoncé was just [tapping] her daughter, who was there, and just had tears in her eyes.'

'Then I was like, that moment right there, that is priceless.'

Carpenter and Nicks combined forces for a duet of the Fleetwood Mac classic track, 'Landslide'. 

It comes after Jackman was slammed for attending this year's Met Gala with his new partner.

'Poor Deborra,' a second added, while one more said, 'Not a fan.'

'I lost big respect for him,' someone else wrote, while another agreed, 'Yes, pathetic.'
