The actor recently dropped a video opposing the development via Instagram.
“I stand shoulder to shoulder, in solidarity with Aunty Lois Cook in opposition to the tourism development at Seven Mile Beach,” he said.
“I fully support traditional custodians to be able to comfortably tell their people’s stories, to preserve and protect their homelands.
“This proposed development would have a direct impact on these sacred and significant Indigenous sites.”
