Actor, Hugh Jackman Gives Back Using His New Coffee Brand

Wolverine Actor and Humanitarian, Hugh Jackman is one of the most successful Actors in the world amongst other things. The 46-year-old actor was motivated to open his own cafe after a trip to Ethiopia in 2009 as an ambassador for World Vision Australia where he met a young coffee farmer named Dukale, who worked tirelessly to provide for his family. Hugh Jackman and his wife spent time with the family and "By the end, we had this whole fairy tale ending of seeing Dukale's name on a brand with a massive national coffee seller,"

 Before the initiation of the coffee brand, Laughing Man Coffee & Tea, and the documentary film "Dukale's Dream," this video documents his friendship with Dukale and how his time in Ethiopia shaped his view on buying and drinking java. With new partnership with Keurig, Laughing Man Coffee will be available nationwide, allowing the young coffee farmer, Dukale’s blend to prosper and awareness for these unique coffees to grow.

"I don't care who you are, everyone wants the whole planet to have equal opportunity to live," Jackman told HuffPost. "The sad part is knowing that generations of a family have never been out of the cycle of poverty, but we'll get to see it broken."
