Danny DeVito.

Danny DeVito is married to actress Rhea Perlman, and they are known to make time for each other even on set. However, according to reviews from fans, their kindness extends to strangers too.

Many remember Robin Williams, who died in 2014, as an excellent actor and sincere person. One of the Twitter users became a witness that the actor was not alien to a sense of justice.

Jesse Eisenburg.

"Jesse Eiserberg moved to our small town a few years ago because he said he liked quiet life. He donates huge sums to a shelter that protects victims of domestic violence. I have not met him personally, but everyone who has interacted with him describes him as a pleasant and generous person."

One of the users shared a rather funny episode from the life of Banderas. Different actors react differently to the presence of fans on set, but the Spanish actor seems unfazed and sees nothing wrong with it.

"One day I saw one of the fans come up to Antonio and say that he really looked good when his hair was combed back and held up by a bandana. And he came closer to him and whispered, 'That's why everyone calls me Antonio Bandanas.'
