Hugh & Ava Jackman Take Manhattan

What an adorable father-daughter duo! Hugh Jackman was seen running alongside his 3-year-old daughter Ava as they headed off to her preschool in downtown Manhattan.

The 40-year-old Australian actor recently stated that it was a “no-brainer” to adopt children of mixed races as that seemed to be where the greatest need exists: “When we went first to talk to someone in Los Angeles about adoption, I remember, they said, ‘What do you want?’ I said, ‘Well, healthy would be good.’ And they said, ‘Well, what about the race?’ We’d ticked mixed race. And he said, ‘Now, listen. Please don’t, please don’t just tick that because you think it’s the right thing to tick.’ And he said to me, that we turn away children every month who are mixed race, because we can’t find families for them.”
