he's also big on human rights, poverty, health, the environment, veteran and service member support and water.. what water benefit did he do? i can't remember..

they should add children for his work with warchild, and animals too because he donated to the donkey sanctuary in ireland.

i don´t think he calls himself "celebrity", lol... and, honestly, i don´t think he likes this idea.

the man believes in good causes and just enjoys to help. clap clap to him

he may not call himself that or think of himself like that, but he is a celebrity. he's known around the world, and celebrities have a lot of power to bring attention to worthy causes..

i think the purpose of the site is to show people their favorite actors, musicians, etc. to inspire them to support the charities their heroes support. or for people who organize fundraising and awareness for particular charities or non-profits (like me) a way to learn who supports their type of cause, and maybe how to contact them to get them involved.
