Hugh Jackman
Australian actor Hugh Michael Jackman AC. He began his career in theater and television before landing his breakthrough role as James "Logan" Howlett/Wolverine in the 20th Century Fox X-Men film series (2000-2017). Until his record was surpassed in 2021, this role earned him the Guinness World Record for "longest career as a live-action Marvel character." Jackman has long supported microcredit, which is the practice of giving extremely modest loans to aspiring businesspeople in developing nations. He actively backs Muhammad Yunus, a pioneer in microcredit and 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Hugh Jackman and David Steingard launched Laughing Man Coffee in 2011 with the goal of combating poverty by promoting fair trade techniques that help farmers in underdeveloped nations. The Laughing Man Foundation was founded to assist the farming communities and others throughout the world with development, educational initiatives, and assistance for social entrepreneurship. The foundation is partially funded by the sales of Laughing Man Coffee. Among Jackman's other charitable activities is his work as an ambassador for World Vision, an organization that fights injustice and poverty by supporting children and their families globally.
