Hugh Jackman working with mental health organisation amid Covid-19 crisis

Hugh Jackman is helping out people in need through the mental health organisation Gotcha4Life during the coronavirus pandemic.

The 51-year-old Australian revealed during a recent interview with News Corp Australia he's been working with pal, Gus Worland, who founded the non-profit which is "dedicated to taking action and having a positive outcome on mental health".

“I’ve learned so much from being on the board and we are planning on more of those talks. Gus has been incredible,” Hugh shared. “It’s something we really need to pay attention to in the world and Australia, a lot.”

The Greatest Showman star has been an ambassador for Gotcha4Life since 2017.

“Our need to look after each other, not just financially and physically, but mentally is a priority,” Hugh continued. “There’s a lot of loneliness out there and this only adds to that.”

The X-Men star is among the many celebrities handing their social media accounts over to health experts to help inform fans of the facts about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic

The move is part of the #passthemic initiative from the ONE campaign, giving experts a platform to share their perspectives on the Covid-19 crisis, and talk about why they believe a global response to the pandemic is crucial for eradicating coronavirus.
