Yarraka Bayle's son, Quaden, has a genetic disorder the results in dwarfism and is routinely bullied for his physical appearance. After his mom posted a video of him distraught from bullying and it got attention online, Quaden received support from Wolverine and Negan, aka Hugh Jackman and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

A-listers Hugh Jackman and Jeffrey Dean Morgan were just two people among the worldwide many who responded to Quaden's video.

Mom Yarraka Bayles from Brisbane, Australia shared the live video of her son Quaden on Facebook on February 18th. She had filmed her son directly after being picked up from school after a bullying incident occurred between her son and another female classmate.

Quaden was born with Achondroplasia, which is a genetic condition that causes dwarfism. Because of his appearance, he gets routinely bullied at school and in other public places.

"Quaden–you are stronger than you know." The "X-Men" star Hugh Jackman said in his response video, "and no matter what, you've got a friend in me."

"Everyone, let's please be kind to each other. Bullying is not okay, period. Life is hard enough. Let's just remember: every person in front of us is facing some kind of battle, so let's just be kind."

"The Walking Dead" villain Jeffrey Dean Morgan also responded to Quaden's struggle saying, "what I want you to know is that you have friends—me included. I am your buddy." He continued:

 "You haven't met me yet, but we'll see if we can change that. Maybe your mom can DM me...It's gonna be better. It's gonna get better, sorry, it'll get better, I promise it will. You hang in there, alright? DM me!"

Morgan's fellow Walking Dead star Jon Bernthal also responded to Quaden:

"Hey little man. For what it's worth you have taught my family so much. You have inspired us and in our home you are a hero," he wrote. "Thank you for your courage, stay strong the world is watching and you have so much beautiful power. From me and my boys. We are with you and we thank you."

In the meantime, a GoFundMe page has raised thousands to support a trip to send Quaden and his family to Disneyland. Alongside her activism to support indigenous Australians, Quaden's mom Yarraka has previously gone public to encourage change around bullying and disability awareness.
