Hugh Jackman Carried Zac Efron Out of Fire on Set of 'The Greatest Showman'

“We burst out of the building,” Zac told MTV News. “It looked great on camera. We didn’t know it (at the time), but it was pretty intense. I watched playback, and he saved me from a burning building. It later exploded that night. It was a set, but it later burned down.”

Don’t worry though – both actors are doing just fine after their fiery escape.

“It was pretty awesome,” Zac joked. “Hugh Jackman saving you from a burning building? It’s every girl’s dream.”
