Hugh Jackman Helps Man Propose During Show

This is the moment the Greatest Showman, Hugh Jackman, gave one lucky lady her greatest surprise - by stopping his concert to help a doting man with a surprise proposal. Sanaa Ahmed, 24, was stunned when Jackman stopped his concert in St. Paul, Minnesota, on June 22, only to walk from the stage towards her and her now-fiance, Joe Kripal, 25. Little did Sanaa know that months earlier, in December 2018, Joe had begun work on a plan to have Jackman, Sanaa’s favorite celebrity, help with the big moment. In the clip, Jackman explains to the audience, “I don’t usually do this,” before telling a story of how he had received a letter from Joe months earlier, asking for help. Introducing Joe to the audience, Jackman passed him the mic - all while Sanaa stood with a shocked look on her face, her hands covering her mouth. Then, with family members surrounding the pair, Joe got down on one knee and popped the question to a tearful Sanaa, who said ‘Yes’. The crowd at the Xcel Energy Center then erupted into a round of applause.
