Not only that, Manson brought a bunch of memorabilia for the boy, and stayed with the child at his house for several hours.

We are used to admiring the fame, influence and fees of world-famous stars, but we hardly believe that they are capable of humane, noble and, most importantly, selfless deeds. But among celebrities there are always those who donate part of their fees to good deeds, and it is very pleasant that there are more and more such stars every year. Today we will focus on celebrities whose noble deeds have conquered the whole world.

The pop diva of the American stage does not like to brag about her good deeds, so they often remain a secret, but some of them are still well known. For example, during a tour in Moscow, the singer not only gave a long-awaited concert to Russian fans, but also made a contribution to the development of one of the capital's boarding schools. The amount that Madonna donated to the improvement of the school, the star asked not to be named.

The foundation provides food and hygiene products, clothes, and the specialists working there provide professional psychological assistance.

The actress has seen with her own eyes many times the conditions in which they live. ordinary people in third world countries - for example, several scenes of the film "Lara Croft" were filmed in Cambodia. After filming, Angelina Jolie visited refugee camps in Sierra Leone, Pakistan and Tanzania with humanitarian aid in the form of food and medicine.

By personal example, Angelina encourages donating funds for the benefit of refugees and actively promotes charity in the world media. A few years ago, she released an autobiographical travel book, and then made a film where she vividly showed the conditions of life of people who constantly need help.

Keanu Reeves

Not all stars like increased attention and fuss around them. Keanu Reeves belongs to the category of celebrities who prefer to lead humble life without mansions and expensive cars. 90% of the fee from the cult film "The Matrix" (and this, for a minute, more than $ 10 million for the first part alone) the actor distributed to make-up artists, special effects specialists and other workers on the set. In addition, Keanu gave away his 12 motorcycles to the stuntmen who worked on the tape.

The actor's sister, who has leukemia, encouraged him to open a charity to help cancer patients. Keanu does not suffer from vanity, which is why this organization never got the name of a celebrity. The actor also fights for animal rights and supports initiatives related to environmental protection.

And he is completely devoid of star fever

He can often be seen on the street next to the homeless - he buys them food, clothes, talks to them. Keanu believes that to help those in need, it is not necessary to go to third world countries, because everyone can look around and see a person who needs help.

Konstantin Khabensky

Now Khabensky lives in a modest apartment, and donates most of the money he earns to a charitable foundation. The actor does his best to help those who have a chance to live: money, housing, finding the best doctors. He often travels to orphanages: gives gifts to pupils and plays with them.

For the first time on charity issues, he received a call a few years ago: doctors gave Khabensky's number to a woman who lacked 200 thousand rubles for her son's treatment. Konstantin personally brought money for the operation and asked the doctors to call him if anyone else needed help. In the 10 years that have passed since the death of Anastasia Khabenskaya, the number of children whom the actor saved from cancer has exceeded one and a half hundred people.
