Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth Bring Back Mullets on “The Tonight Show”

Two of Australia’s finest exports, Hugh Jackman and Chris Hemsworth, donned mullets to play a game of Musical Beers.

Jackman is no stranger to the “business in the front, party in the back” hairstyle. The actor, who was on “The Tonight Show” Thursday promoting his sci-fi action movie “Chappie,” sported a mullet in the movie as well as when he met his wife 19 years earlier.

“I thought it was going to remind her of the early days when she fell in love with me,” Jackman said of his "Chappie" hairstyle. “Not so much. She told me to put a bag over my head.”

The host, never one to pass on a good joke, pulled out two mullet hair wigs for them to wear.

“Let’s keep these on for the rest of the interview,” Fallon said.

Fallon then invited Jackman to play the adult version of musical chairs, Musical Beers, and brought out “SNL” favorites Colin Jones, Kate McKinnon and Bobby Moynihan, as well as the show's host this weekend, Chris Hemsworth, to join the game.

Hemsworth, noticing Jackman’s hairstyle, requested a mullet of his own to rock.

In this version of the game, the group walked around a table while The Roots’ Questlove played the pop hit “Bang Bang” by Ariana Grande and Jessie J. When the music stopped, the contestants had to grab a cub of beer and whoever was empty handed stepped out.

The players dwindled quickly, and Jackman was knocked out early. In the end Fallon and Hemsworth were the last men standing, going head-to-head for the last cup. But it was a fast-acting move by the “Wolverine” actor, and not merit alone, that gave Fallon the game-winning beer.
