Thanks to his talents as an acclaimed singer and dancer, actor Hugh Jackman is a well-known Tinseltown triple threat.

But the Hollywood multi-tasker risked a fine on Tuesday as he texted during a bike ride in New York on Tuesday.

Cyclists in the Big Apple are liable to receive a $50 ticket for using their phone while riding a bicycle.

Don't text and ride, Hugh! Superstar Jackman risks a fine while checking his phone during NYC bike ride as he continues to prepare for upcoming world tour

Luckily, the Greatest Showman kept his foot on the ground while focusing on his device.

Clad in black and grey activewear, the father-of-two, 50 wore a pair of Aviator style shades.

Sporting a safety helmet, he sensibly put his phone away before embarking on his bike ride.

Hugh is currently busying himself preparing for his world tour, which will kick off in Hamburg, Germany, on May 13.

The Oscar-nominated star has been sharing clips of himself at the rehearsal studio over the past few weeks.

Taking to Instagram last month, the actor showed himself walking through the chilly streets of New York on the way to practice.

'Today is the first day I go into my rehearsal studio to really start the serious work,' the former Wolverine star told his followers.

Hugh announced the tour back in November on the U.S. Today Show, saying: 'This is a dream come true for me.'

He continued: 'I've done it (a similar format show - Broadway To Oz in 2015) in Australia and now I'm going to go around the world.

Hugh will perform tracks from The Greatest Showman, Les Misérables and more from Broadway and films, accompanied by a live orchestra.

He also confirmed that his wife Deborra-lee Furness, 62, and their children Oscar, 18, and Ava, 13, will be joining him on the road.
