8 Celebrities Whose Kindness Can Beat Anything
It’s important to be kind to others and treat people the way you would want to be treated. Not because you are expecting something in return, but because it’s healthier, and you may be happier in the end. Research shows that people who are kinder tend to find a sense of meaning and deeper purpose in life. It can also result in higher self-esteem and self-efficacy, so it’s time to act righteous and make yourself and others joyous and healthy.
We at Bright Side gathered a list of celebrities who acted virtuously toward other people, and we are so stimulated by them.
1. John Krasinski fought for a deaf actress to get the role.
Millicent Simmonds is an actress who lost her hearing as a baby. She feels that it’s very important for more deaf people to have the opportunity to become actors, and John Krasinski was the one who pushed for her casting. He felt it was important that the character was portrayed by a deaf person in the movie, A Quiet Place. Not only that, but she also taught everyone sign language, which brought more depth to the movie.
2. Lady Gaga offered free pizza after a canceled show.
Lady Gaga had canceled a show last minute because of some health issues she encountered. She was very sad about it and felt sorry for fans who had set their hearts on seeing her. That’s why she tweeted that she was sending free pizza to any “monsters outside my hotel, The William Gray Montreal.” Not only did Lady Gaga give them free food, but she also sent them her autographs before appearing on the hotel’s rooftop to wave to them.
3. Ryan Reynolds saved his nephew using CPR.
A couple of years ago, Ryan Reynolds took a CPR course through the Red Cross, and thanks to his efforts, he knew what to do to save his nephew’s life. It took a few hours, and he claimed it was also fun. His wife, Blake Lively, also participated in the course, where they focused on doing CPR on babies and toddlers.
4. The Rock gifted his customized truck to a Navy veteran.
Dwayne Johnson gifted a Navy veteran, Oscar Rodriguez, his truck for Christmas. His original idea was to give away his Porsche Taycan that he drove in the movie, Red Notice, however, unfortunately, they told him he couldn’t. That’s when he decided to give him his personal custom truck, which he calls “my baby” as a gift for plenty of reasons.
Oscar is a proud and humble Navy veteran who takes care of his 75-year-old mom, he is a personal trainer, and he provides plenty of support and kindness to a variety of people. He claims, “It’s just love,” and The Rock couldn’t agree more.
5. Kellie Pickler shaved her head for her best friend who’s going through cancer.
Kellie Pickler is a country singer who shaved her head for her long-time best friend fighting breast cancer. Her friend, Summer Holt Miller, was diagnosed at the age of 36, and says that she hopes that the way she looks will encourage women to discuss breast cancer with their doctors more: “If this compels even one person to change their mentality toward waiting until the age of 40 for their mammogram, then it will be worth it.”
6. Taylor Swift surprised her oldest fan with a home visit.
Taylor Swift surprised a 96-year-old veteran at her house in Missouri. The fan, Cyrus Porter, says he’s been to 2 of her concerts and claimed, “She puts on a show no one else puts on.” Taylor also brought over her guitar and sang for him and his family.
7. Britney Spears gave free dance classes.

8. Princess Diana defined the importance of kindness by helping others.
Princess Diana’s aim was to “be the queen of people’s hearts, in people’s hearts.” She was much different from people in the establishment and would wear her heart on her sleeve. “I lead from the heart, not the head,” she said. As an emotional person, she used her positivity in everything she did, which made her stronger and a better royal in the long run.
