Neil Diamond and Hugh Jackman sparked a wave of excitement among fans after the two music icons teamed up for a surprise duet of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love”.
The moment, which quickly went viral, came after Jackman said an enthusiastic “100 percent yes” when Diamond invited him to sing. Sharing a photo of the pair sitting arm in arm with microphones in hand, Jackman later described the experience as nothing short of a dream come true.
The unforgettable singalong traces back to a deeply personal exchange between the two stars. Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, Jackman revealed that Diamond reached out after watching Song Sung Blue, Jackman’s new film inspired by a Neil Diamond tribute band. According to Jackman, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer was so moved by the story that he called in tears, praising the film and its emotional core.
What began as a simple thank-you call soon turned into an intimate visit. Jackman recalled traveling to see Diamond and his wife, Katie, for what was supposed to be a casual cup of tea — only for the night to end with karaoke.
At dinner, Diamond casually suggested they sing, and Jackman happily agreed. The pair performed several songs together, including “I Dreamed a Dream,” “Sweet Caroline,” and the now-famous rendition of “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” which has since become the highlight fans can’t stop talking about.
Jackman later celebrated the moment on social media, writing: “What a day!! Thank you for an extraordinary visit. It was one that I could never have dreamt could or would come true! So special to spend time, to share, laugh and to sing karaoke!” Fans flooded the comments with heart emojis, fire icons, and messages like “Living legends,” “Just amazing,” and “A dream duet.”
The duet also arrives as Song Sung Blue continues to generate conversation. While Neil Diamond has publicly supported the film, the project has faced criticism from members of the Sardina family, who have voiced concerns about how the story was portrayed. Despite the controversy, audience reaction to the Jackman–Diamond moment has remained overwhelmingly positive, with many choosing to focus on the rare and heartfelt collaboration between two beloved performers.
For fans, the image of Neil Diamond and Hugh Jackman singing Elvis together isn’t just a celebrity crossover — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime musical moment that feels as genuine as it is unforgettable.
