HUGH JACKMAN SENDS POWERFUL MESSAGE TO SCHOOLBOY BULLIED FOR DWARFISM: 'YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND IN ME'
Hugh Jackman has shared a message of support to a nine-year-old boy who is being bullied because of his dwarfism.
Earlier this week, Quaden Bayles' mother, Yarraka, shared a video of her son in floods of tears after picking him up from school on Facebook in a bid to raise awareness of the consequences of bullying.
In the video, which has subsequently been viewed more than 17m times, Bayles can be overheard saying “I'm going to kill myself" and "I want to die"
After witnessing the emotional footage, Jackman posted his own video to the schoolboy on his Twitter account in which he tells Bayles, who has a type of dwarfism called achondroplasia, that he will always be his friend.
