Hugh Jackman Embarrassed with Tony Awards (Acceptance Video)

Hugh Jackman was presented with a special Tony award by his wife Deborra-Lee Furness during last Sunday's ceremony at the Beacon Theater in New York.

The award was given to Jackman for his contributions to the Broadway community.

“I feel it’s my privilege ... just to appear on stage every night on Broadway. To get something like this is an embarrassment of riches. I will never forget this theater community. It is something that I treasure almost as much as anything,” the Les Miserables actor said in his speech.

Watch Jackman’s speech below.
