Arrow's John Barrowman Falls Out Of A Chair While Wearing Heels

Arrow star and Doctor Who alum, John Barrowman, literally fell head over heels.

On Friday, when ITV's This Morning went to a live shot of Loose Women, so the hosts (Andrea McLean, Nadia Sawalha, Sherrie Hewson and Kaye Adams) could preview their segment on men walking in women's shoes, Barrowman — a regular guest on the lunchtime program — tried to show off the high heels he was wearing by putting his feet on the show's desk. Before he could accomplish the feat, the 49-year-old actor loses his balances and falls backwards to the floor. Ouch!

Once Barrowman signaled that he was unhurt, they all shared a hearty laugh.

While the fall might have people believing high heels pose a challenge to Barrowman, that couldn't be any further from the truth. As you can see in the video below, Barrowman is actually quite skilled at wearing, walking, and sprinting in high heels.

After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the South China Sea. Oliver returned home to Starling City, bent on righting the wrongs of his family and fighting injustice. To do this, he created the persona of The Arrow and allied himself with former military man John Diggle, computer-science expert Felicity Smoak, lawyer-turned-vigilante Laurel Lance, billionaire inventor Ray Palmer, and his sister Thea Queen.

After years of denying himself his own life as Oliver Queen in order to be The Arrow, Oliver left Starling City with Felicity and made a home in suburbia. But their newly tranquil lives are upended when an evil new organization, H.I.V.E., takes over the newly-christened Star City. Oliver is forced to don the hood once more…but can he keep his aim as The Arrow without losing the life he has fought so hard to get back?

The fourth-season finale Arrow will air Wednesday, May 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
