Hugh Jackman is speaking up about racism in the wake of George Floyd‘s murder that sparked a worldwide outrage.

The 51-year-old actor, who is dad to two biracial kids, Oscar and Ava with wife Deborra-Lee Furness, took to his Instagram, and revealed he looks to his mentors for advice on when he’s unsure what to do in times like this. “…I reach for the words of my mentors who’ve helped guide me through life.
