Hugh Jackman performed a rap version of 'Rock Island' on the stage of Tony awards with LL Cool J and T.I.

The 45-year-old actor recounted a story about being in a production of 'The Music Man' at a young age, and how the show's opening song; 'Rock Island' was a progenitor of rap music, the Huffington Post reported.

Using a beat that Jackman said was produced by Questlove, the trio provided the Tonys with its most surprising moment.
