Hugh Jackman begs for help after friend and Broadway star goes missing

Hugh Jackman has pleaded for help after his friend disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

The Wolverine actor, 55, took to Instagram to beg for anyone with knowledge of what happened to come forward after Broadway star Zelig Williams vanished eight days ago.

Hamilton star Williams, 28, was last seen eight days ago when he left his South Carolina home on October 3 at 9am.

The performer’s family grew concerned when they were made aware of an SOS alert sent from his phone just ten minutes after he left.

A friend of Williams received a ping, which, as reported by People, indicated a crash had occurred after he was spotted driving around Congaree National Park.

He was reported missing officially the next day when his loved ones were unable to get hold of him, with Williams’ car later found abandoned.

It has since been confirmed by Sheriff Leon Lott that police are investigating the case with possible foul play involved.

Taking to his social media today, Jackman wrote to his 34.5million followers: ‘Please . . . if anyone has any information as to the whereabouts of Zelig Williams please reach out to your local authorities.

‘Zelig we love you and are praying for your safe return. Please pass this message on.’
