Shaquille O’Neal faces defeat on a talk show

In an episode of ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, Shaquille O’Neal faces off against Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman in a trivia game. The rules of the game were for both the celebrities to answer the questions from inside a telephone booth. In the event that a celebrity gives the wrong answer, a person is added to the telephone booth.

While the first round goes smooth for both Jackman and Shaq, the former Los Angeles Lakers player’s booth starts filling up from the second round itself. While Hugh shared his booth with only one person, Shaq ends up squeezed inside his booth along with six other people.

Even though both the celebrities come from different fields, there is however one common factor between the two. Shaq is an actor as well just like Jackman. It might come as a surprise for most fans but Shaq has acted in a number of movies such as ‘Kazaam‘, ‘Steel’, ‘Grown Ups 2’ and ‘Scary Movie 4’. Interestingly, the Big Diesel also wanted a role in the Hugh Jackman starred ‘X-2’, which was the second installment of the ‘X-Men’ film series. However, the 15-time NBA All-Star didn’t get his wish.
