The most evil and unfriendly celebrities. Good deeds of famous people Famous good deeds

Good deeds should be done by every person, no matter how global they are. Someone will say that these stars did nothing special and everyone would have done the same in their situation, but not everyone can boast even such a manifestation of kindness and compassion for their neighbor, because for the most part people think only about themselves.

Keanu Reeves

In recent years, the fact has come to light that Reeves doesn't care much about money. In fact, he went so far as to give $80 million of his royalties from The Matrix to the special effects team as well as the costume designers behind the trilogy. He explained his act by saying that he believes that the success of the film series is the merit of these people, and not him.

Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry has touched not one life but countless lives with his openness about his mental health issues. While many see these issues as career-damaging stigma, Fry is open about his issues and has become president of Mind, a mental health charity that raises public awareness of mental illness and is the voice of those who suffer from it.

Russell Brand (Russell Brand)

Brand talked about how he knows what it's like to be at the bottom of life as a former alcoholic and heroin addict, which is why he spends time with homeless people from his area. He has been photographed and seen countless times with the homeless, taking them to breakfast and helping them in all sorts of ways.

Will.i.am (Will.i.am)

Will.i.am recently donated his entire 'The Voice' fee (approximately $750,000) to The Prince's Foundation, a charity dedicated to providing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education to underprivileged children in the UK. He hopes to have the same success that this program has had in his hometown of Los Angeles County, which now has a state-of-the-art STEM center.

Woody HarrelsonWoody Harrelson

While attending a great New York party, Woody was approached by a homeless woman looking for alms. Instead of turning her down, Woody decided to give the woman $600. According to the Daily News, when the woman recognized the actor, she said, "Thank you Woody! White people can still jump!”

Ryan GoslingRyan Gosling

Mila Kunis

When the man who worked in her house collapsed to the floor from an attack, Mila came to his aid. After she supported him until the ambulance arrived, Mila even offered to go to the hospital with him to make sure he was safe.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is known for the fact that she promotes faith in herself through her popularity, no matter how different we are from others. After she heard that one of her fans had committed suicide because he was mocked for his sexual orientation, she shone her concert on him and his picture was everywhere on the screens - it was an act of unity with fan and other people from all over the world suffering in similar situations.

Ti Ai (T.I.)

This rapper dropped everything to talk a man out of committing suicide. The police tried to reason with the man to go down from the parapet. He considered it necessary to help, telling the man that everything would be fine and that everything in the world was not as bad as it seemed.

Angelina Jolie

Jolie remains a great philanthropist even after years of success and incredible popularity. She even decided to make "In the Land of Blood and Honey" as her directorial debut, a film that tells the story of women who were subjected to mass rape during the war in Bosnia. This choice was clearly not made for the purpose of fame, as it was filmed and written in Bosnian.

Zach Galifianakis

Zach rescued a homeless woman. Mimi, a woman Zach knew from the local laundry long before he became famous, found herself on the street. As soon as Zach found out about this, he offered to pay the rent for her. He even took her to the premiere of The Hangover: Part III.

Patrick Dempsey

According to TMZ, the teen lost control of his Mustang and after the car rolled over several times, he finally came to a stop in front of the actor's house. Dempsey ran outside to help the young driver and, using a crowbar, freed the teenager from the car, after which he called the rescue service.

Johnny Depp

Tom Cruise

One day, when he was relaxing on his yacht, Cruz saw a sinking, burning sailboat. Instead of waiting for someone to save them, Tom himself swam to the sailboat and helped the victims escape.

They are suspiciously kind...

In light of the constantly emerging and updated allegations of celebrity sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior, Twitter users decided to highlight the other side of the life of famous people, bringing together "accusations of excessive kindness."

It all started with a post by a BAKOAN user: "If any of you have something to blame a celebrity for something good, that would be great. Some of the actors gave a present for Christmas? Some of the actresses shared a cigarette with you ?"

At the moment, this post has already collected more than 7,000 comments with stories about how ordinary people encountered celebrities and at the same time did not see any manifestations of star disease in them, but on the contrary, only positive emotions remained from the meeting.

Emma Watson

The fact that an exemplary honors student from Hogwarts is an excellent role model in real life is not a secret. In 2014, Emma was even appointed a Goodwill Ambassador. However, the stories that told about the girl reveal her from a completely new side for the audience.

"My friend wrote a poem about Emma Watson for an English lesson. And the teacher sent this poem to Emma herself (she studied at the same school). When Emma attended our school, she specially went to my friend's class, who at that moment had biology, and asked him to go out into the corridor to personally thank him for the poem."

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 fans, their kindness extends to strangers too.

"Danny DeVito once left me $120 for tea just because I brought him two cases of wine to his room and it was only a block away."

Actress Mara Wilson also spoke positively of the couple: "Danny DeVito and Rhea Pelman let me stay with them when my mom was hospitalized for surgery due to her cancer."

Viggo Mortensen.

Dane Viggo Mortensen, who played goodies in films more than once, turned out to be a wonderful guy in real life.

"After filming The Lord of the Rings, the horses involved in the stunts were put up for auction. Viggo bought the white horse "Arwen," who was filming the chase with the Nazgul. The stunt girl became very attached to this horse during filming, but could not afford buy her. Viggo gave her a horse," wrote Christine Bailey.

Robin Williams

Many remember Robin Williams, who died in 2014, as a great actor and soulful person. One of the Twitter users became a witness that the actor was no stranger to a sense of justice.

"Robin Williams was the sweetest, most sympathetic celebrity I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I personally saw how he once stood up for a homeless man and defended him from a man who tried to humiliate and insult him. It was six years ago."

Jesse Eisenberg.

"Jesse Iserberg moved in with us in small towns a few years ago because, as he said, he likes a quiet life. He donates huge sums to a shelter that protects victims of domestic violence. I did not personally meet him, but everyone who is with him communicated, describe him as a pleasant and generous person."

Antonio Banderas.

One of the users shared a rather funny episode from the life of Banderas. Different actors react differently to the presence of fans on the set, but the Spanish actor does not seem to be embarrassed by anything and he does not see anything shameful in this.

“I once saw one of the fans come up to Antonio and say that it suits him very much when his hair is slicked back and supported by a bandana. And he came closer to him and whispered “that’s why everyone calls me Antonio Bandanas.”

Chris Martin.

The singer from the British group Coldplay, which has 62 prestigious music awards, does not advertise his charitable activities.

"Chris Martin from Coldplay visits children's hospitals in every country where they have a concert. He talks to the kids for hours, sings songs to them, gives them gifts, cheers them on. He never talks about it on TV, and it becomes known after his visits when hospital patients start posting about the event."

Robert De Niro

Perhaps in the movie "The Godfather" Robert De Niro looks cruel and heartless, but in real life the actor shows much more patience and tolerance.

"Robert De Niro opened the door for me and held it for an endless ten minutes while I was trying to squeeze through in my wheelchair," posted a user named Kashana.

Keanu Reeves

The stories about Keanu Reeves have already become legend. This actor is known for being rather indifferent to his earnings, but he is not indifferent to the fact that other participants in the filming process receive an order of magnitude less than the actors.

"Keanu Reeves regularly spends part of his salary on the payment of "bonuses" to the earnings of members of the filming process," Diana Joy wrote.

Tom Hiddleston.

In the recently released Thor: Ragnarok, Tom plays the villain Loki, but in real life, the actor is not characterized by heartless behavior.

“One day I literally ran into Tom Hiddleston on the street and spilled my coffee on myself. He apologized so much that I even felt embarrassed. Then he bought me another coffee.”

They also try to create for such children all the conditions for a healthy adaptation in adulthood.

Orlando Bloom

The famous actor has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) since 2009. For several years, Bloom managed to visit many countries as part of charitable projects. Including he visited with humanitarian missions in Ethiopia, Jordan, Syria and Macedonia.

Chulpan Khamatova and Dina Korzun

In 2006, friends and actresses jointly established the Gift of Life Foundation, which has since helped children with severe oncological and hematological diseases. Today in Russia, more and more children with such terrible diagnoses get a chance for recovery and a happy life, this is largely due to the help of the Khamatova Foundation.

Keanu Reeves

This Hollywood actor has long been famous for his - in a positive sense - eccentricity. Quite often, Keanu gave almost the entire fee for the film to the needs of charitable organizations. Reeves knows firsthand about serious illnesses - his sister has been fighting cancer for 10 years, so the actor does not spare money to support cancer funds.

Natalya Vodyanova

The beautiful Russian woman Natalya Vodianova became famous all over the world not only as a super-successful model, but also as a philanthropist. The actress has been actively involved in charity work for many years. Vodianova's younger sister has been suffering from a severe form of autism since birth, and Vodianova knows from her own experience that children with such diseases need special care and attention. Natalia heads the Naked Heart Foundation, annually holds charity concerts, marathons and auctions - all the money from such events goes to help children in need.

Oprah Winfrey

The legendary American TV presenter, producer and actress Oprah Winfrey has been actively involved in charity work for many years. In addition to the financial support of many foundations, Winfrey is the founder of a special school for girls in South Africa. In a country where violence and killings are a daily reality, it is almost impossible for girls to finish school. Through the efforts of Oprah, several hundred graduates of this school already have diplomas from prestigious American universities.

Maria Mironova, Igor Vernik and Evgeny Mironov

In 2008, the actors jointly established the Artist Charitable Foundation, designed to help elderly artists. In addition to providing all kinds of material assistance to veterans of the theater and cinema, the foundation's volunteers also provide moral support: they go to visit their wards, give gifts for the holidays, arrange impromptu concerts.

Brad Pitt

A few years ago, the famous actor founded the Make It Right charity foundation to help New Orleans residents affected by the devastating Hurricane Katrina. In less than 10 years, Pitt and his organization managed to build more than 109 houses. The best architects and engineers were invited to work on the project. The actor personally supervised the work of volunteers and controlled the construction process at all stages.

Konstantin Khabensky

Russell Crowe

Crowe has repeatedly said that for him, living in Los Angeles is like sleeping at work. According to the actor, he needs to wake up at sunrise and be able to walk barefoot on the grass under the trees. The actor gave himself this opportunity by going to live with his family in Australia on his own farm. He now visits Los Angeles exclusively for work. Very soon, he will once again have to temporarily change the green lawn to the red carpet, because Crowe is waiting for the premiere of the comedy Goodfellas, where he played one of the main roles along with Ryan Gosling. Hero Crow is a hired guard who can solve any problem with his fists and a baseball bat. He will have to investigate, at first glance, a trifling matter, along with an absurd private detective in the person of Gosling, and, as you might guess, their methods will turn out to be very comical. It will be possible to have fun in the company of such different in appearance, but equally talented Crowe and Gosling in the cinema from June 16th.

Sandra Bullock

The charm of this woman in Hollywood is legendary. Everyone who has ever been lucky enough to work with her, forever become her friends. Kind, sympathetic, with a sense of humor and, on top of everything, modest, Bullock, in addition to her acting career, is known for her good deeds. She donated a million dollars to the American Red Cross 4 times, and also adopted two kids. Previously, Bullock believed that a happy family life in Los Angeles was impossible, so she lived in New Orleans, where she even opened a small bakery, but now she has again moved to Beverly Hills. Rumor has it that the whole thing is her new boyfriend, a photographer, who recently moved in with the actress and her children.

Shia LaBeouf

The main eccentric of Hollywood was not always like this. At least publicly. Shia was born into a family of a circus performer and a ballerina who danced in a nightclub. His parents were mainly engaged in sorting out the relationship and only occasionally - raising a child, so LaBeouf was left to himself from childhood, which made him independent. At the age of 15, LaBeouf got an agent and began to fight his way to fame. Everything went like clockwork, until in 2008 the actor had his first problems with the law. This was followed by inappropriate behavior in public, strange clothes and quirks in the form of a paper bag on his head at the premiere of "Nymphomaniac". In the end, Shea shielded itself from Hollywood, and Hollywood shielded itself from Shea. The actor now declares himself as an artist, almost does not act in films and leads a bohemian lifestyle, giving up luxury. Here is such a modest Hollywood star!

Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves has not yet escaped to the American outback from noisy Los Angeles, but managed to become famous throughout Hollywood for his modesty. The actor lives in a small apartment, does not like to go shopping - he can wear the same things for years. Keanu has never used the services of a bodyguard and calmly moves around the city by subway. He loves going to museums and doesn't like to eat in restaurants - he can often be seen with a sandwich on a park bench. The modest star of The Matrix often repeats that he has not been worried about money for a long time, and what he has earned will be enough for him for several centuries. The actor maintains a cancer fund and actively helps the homeless.

Jennifer Garner

A talented actress and mother of three children is rightfully considered one of the most modest Hollywood residents. Garner has always been the most down to earth girl. The actress, without hesitation, exchanged her career and fees for the opportunity to be close to her family and support her husband, actor and director Ben Affleck. How it ended, you probably already know: everyone seems to have heard about the loud and ugly divorce. How it happened, one can only guess, because it was difficult to dream of a better woman, but Affleck apparently knows something that everyone else does not know. Now the actress has to rebuild her personal life, which will certainly have a positive impact on her career. Very soon we will see Jen in the fantasy comedy Nine Lives, where she plays one of the main roles along with Kevin Spacey.

Hayden Christensen

The Star Wars star was so tired of the fame and attention of the paparazzi that he returned to his homeland in Canada, where he settled on a farm. Hayden decided not just to sit out in silence in the fresh air, but was seriously interested in agriculture: he started a chicken coop, organized a stable, set up a garden and started growing organic vegetables and fruits. He even plowed the land himself on his own small tractor! And when the first harvest brought a small income to the novice farmer, the actor seriously thought about increasing the sown area. What's more, Hayden has fully converted his farm to solar energy and is constantly striving to make his life even more environmentally friendly. In addition, now he has someone to try for: Christensen and his lover, actress Rachel Bilson, are the parents of a one and a half year old baby Briar Rose.

"Rus' is not without good people!" Russian people can be safely attributed to the most sympathetic peoples of the world. And we have someone to look up to.

Okolnichiy Fyodor Rtishchev

Even during his lifetime, Fyodor Rtishchev, a close friend and adviser to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, received the nickname "gracious husband." Klyuchevsky wrote that Rtishchev fulfilled only part of the commandment of Christ - he loved his neighbor, but not himself. He was from that rare breed of people who put the interests of others above their own "I want." It was on the initiative of the “bright man” that the first shelters for the poor appeared not only in Moscow, but also abroad. For Rtishchev, it was common to pick up a drunk on the street and take him to a temporary shelter organized by him - an analogue of a modern sobering-up station. How many were saved from death and did not freeze in the street, one can only guess.

In 1671, Fyodor Mikhailovich sent grain carts to the starving Vologda, and then the money received from the sale of personal property. And when he found out about the need of the Arzamas residents for additional lands, he simply presented his own.

During the Russian-Polish war, he took out not only compatriots, but also Poles from the battlefield. He hired doctors, rented houses, bought food and clothing for the wounded and prisoners, again at his own expense. After the death of Rtishchev, his "Life" appeared - a unique case of demonstrating the holiness of a layman, and not a monk.

Empress Maria Feodorovna

The second wife of Paul I, Maria Fedorovna, was famous for her excellent health and tirelessness. Starting the morning with cold douches, prayers and strong coffee, the Empress devoted the rest of the day to taking care of her countless pupils. She knew how to convince moneybags to donate money for the construction of educational institutions for noble maidens in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Simbirsk and Kharkov. With her direct participation, the largest charitable organization was created - the Imperial Humanitarian Society, which existed until the beginning of the 20th century.

Having 9 children of her own, she especially anxiously took care of abandoned babies: the sick were nursed in foster homes, strong and healthy - in trustworthy peasant families.

This approach has significantly reduced child mortality. With all the scale of her activities, Maria Fedorovna paid attention to trifles that are not essential for life. So, in the Obukhov psychiatric hospital in St. Petersburg, each patient received his own kindergarten.

Prince Vladimir Odoevsky

A descendant of the Rurikids, Prince Vladimir Odoevsky was convinced that the thought he had sown would certainly "sprout tomorrow" or "in a thousand years." A close friend of Griboedov and Pushkin, the writer and philosopher Odoevsky was an active supporter of the abolition of serfdom, worked to the detriment of his own interests for the Decembrists and their families, tirelessly intervened in the fate of the most disadvantaged. He was ready to rush to the aid of anyone who applied, and in everyone he saw a “living string” that could be made to sound for the good of the cause.

The St. Petersburg Society for Visiting the Poor, organized by him, helped 15,000 needy families.

There was a women's workshop, a children's rooming house with a school, a hospital, hostels for the elderly and families, and a social store.

Despite his origins and connections, Odoevsky did not seek to occupy an important post, believing that in a "secondary position" he was able to bring "real benefit." The "strange scientist" tried to help young inventors realize their ideas. The main character traits of the prince, according to contemporaries, were humanity and virtue.

Prince Peter of Oldenburg

An innate sense of justice distinguished the grandson of Paul I from most of his colleagues. He not only served in the Preobrazhensky Regiment during the reign of Nicholas I, but also equipped the first school in the history of the country in which soldiers' children were trained at the place of service. Later, this successful experience was applied to other regiments.

In 1834, the prince witnessed the public punishment of a woman who was driven through the soldiers' formation, after which he petitioned for dismissal, stating that he would never be able to carry out such orders.

Petr Georgievich devoted his further life to charity. He was a trustee and an honorary member of many institutions and societies, including the Kyiv House of Charity for the Poor.

Sergey Skyrmunt

Retired lieutenant Sergei Skyrmunt is almost unknown to the general public. He did not hold high positions and failed to become famous for his good deeds, but he was able to build socialism in a single estate.

At the age of 30, when Sergei Apollonovich painfully pondered his future fate, 2.5 million rubles fell on him from a deceased distant relative.

The inheritance was not squandered or played at cards. One part of it became the basis for donations to the Society for the Promotion of Public Entertainment, the founder of which was Skyrmunt himself. With the rest of the money, the millionaire built a hospital and a school on the estate, and all his peasants were able to move to new huts.

Anna Adler

The whole life of this amazing woman was devoted to educational and pedagogical work. She was an active participant in various charitable societies, helped during the famine in the Samara and Ufa provinces, on her initiative the first public reading room was opened in the Sterlitamak district. But her main efforts were aimed at changing the situation of people with disabilities. For 45 years, she has done everything so that the blind have the opportunity to become full members of society.

She was able to find the means and strength to open the first specialized printing house in Russia, where in 1885 the first edition of the Collection of Articles for Children's Reading, published and dedicated to blind children by Anna Adler, was published.

To get the book out in Braille, she worked seven days a week until late at night, personally typing and proofreading page after page.

Later, Anna Aleksandrovna translated the musical system, and blind children were able to learn to play musical instruments. With her active assistance, a few years later the first group of blind students graduated from the St. Petersburg School for the Blind, and a year later from the Moscow School. Literacy and vocational training helped graduates find jobs, which changed the stereotype of their incapacity. Anna Adler almost did not live to see the opening of the First Congress of the All-Russian Society of the Blind.

Nikolai Pirogov

The whole life of the famous Russian surgeon is a series of brilliant discoveries, the practical use of which has saved more than one life. The men considered him a magician who, for his "miracles", attracts higher powers. He was the first in the world to use surgery in the field, and the decision to use anesthesia saved not only his patients from suffering, but also those who lay on the tables of his students later. By his own efforts, the splints were replaced with bandages soaked in starch.

He was the first to use the method of sorting the wounded into heavy and those who make it to the rear. This has reduced the death rate by several times. Before Pirogov, even a minor wound in the arm or leg could end in amputation.

He personally carried out operations and tirelessly controlled that the soldiers were provided with everything necessary: ​​warm blankets, food, water.

According to legend, it was Pirogov who taught Russian academics to carry out plastic surgery, demonstrating the successful experience of engrafting a new nose on the face of his barber, whom he helped to get rid of deformity.

Being an excellent teacher, about whom all the students spoke with warmth and gratitude, he believed that the main task of education was to teach to be a man.
