Conan O’Brien hangs out with the Sydney Swans – after being emotionally blackmailed by Hugh Jackman

0

The late night talk show host stopped by a Swans training session when he visited Australia last week, after Jackman accused him of leaving our great nation out of his many travel plans.

“When Hugh Jackman tells you to do something, you do it,” he said in an opening monologue for his show.

O’Brien says he feels he took to the game “like a swan to water” (See what he did there?).

“The minute I saw the short shorts I knew this was the sport for me,” he said. “I have very long, attractive legs, and I felt this would show me at my best.”

As you can see in this video, Conan might not be making the team this year – but we admire his enthusiasm.
