Last December, Hugh Jackman's daring entrance on a zip line during a taping of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in Australia didn't quite go as planned. Now, Oprah's revealing the real story behind the accident on "Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes."

"I came down waving to everyone, looking over Sydney Harbour, saw my dad, the kids and you (Oprah), went to pull the brake and then boing," said Jackman.

The 'X-Men' action hero crashed into a lighting rig while gliding down a cable that stretched from the top of the Sydney Opera House to the show's stage. Although Jackman smacked his eye and immediately stopped short, luckily he was not seriously hurt and continued shooting the show.

Catch the real story Sunday at 8/7c on "Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes" on OWN.
