You might think that a seasoned actor like Noah Wyle, who has played a doctor multiple times, would have mastered the art of overcoming trauma. But it turns out, even celebrities have their share of cringe-worthy moments from childhood.

Recently, the New York Times revealed amusing behind-the-scenes secrets from the Jennifer Hudson Show. The show has a fun tradition where they create a personal jingle for their guests, designed to pump them up as they enter what’s affectionately known as the ‘spirit tunnel.’ For a whole year, guests have been dancing their way into the spotlight—with plenty of groove!

However, not everyone is ready to bust a move. Noah Wyle chose to pass on the jingle during his recent appearance on the show, citing a childhood trauma involving a failed breakdancing stunt. Wyle recounted an embarrassing moment when he attempted to impress fellow guests at a bar mitzvah by performing the worm but ended up collapsing instead. "I got into some kind of inverted position, and it all collapsed on me. I tried to stick it, but I didn’t stick it," he explained while attempting to recreate the pose.

Despite his past misstep, Wyle hinted that he might be open to giving dancing another shot someday. Let's hope the J.Hud team keeps that infectious jingle on standby for his next visit!
