Many people start making their New Year resolutions at the beginning of the year and doing good for others is likely one of the most popular ones. No matter if they’re small or big deeds, or if they’re one-time only or regular acts of kindness, everything matters. And celebrities know this well!
We at Bright Side hope the world will become even kinder in the year 2022 and we invite you to look back at times when celebs did good deeds and how they’re continuing to do so.
When a Twitter user with the name Jessica Casanova tweeted Gina saying, “I would love to wear your dress to the prom,” she never expected to get an answer. Much to the girl’s surprise, not only did the actress reply, but she also offered her another gorgeous dress saying, “Where do you live? I only own my first globes dress, the one from last year...maybe we can make this happen.” Jessica agreed and her prom dress dream eventually came true.

The rapper has been funding the education fees at the University of Cambridge for 2 students each year since 2018. He’s even started his own scholarship called “Stormzy Scholarship for Black UK Students.” He covers the full cost of tuition fees without expecting anything in return.
The wrestler, actor, and rapper, John Cena takes an active part in granting wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The foundation grants life-changing wishes for children with serious illnesses. So far, he has been one of the most active celebrities to make kids’ wishes come true.
Another person involved in making other people’s wishes come true is Guy Fieri, the world-renowned chef and creator of the famous “Donkey Sauce.” Not only does he invite sick kids to come onto his Food Network, but he also insists they come with their entire family so that the kids feel comfortable.
The family of the late Steve Irwin is actively involved in saving and helping animals who got injured in the Australian bushfires. The Wildlife Hospital they run has already treated more than 90,000 animal patients, according to Steve’s daughter Bindi. Many people, including other celebrities such as Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe, are helping Australia too. Crowe even missed his Golden Globe Award because he stayed in his home country in order to help as much as he can.
Charlize supports the country she was born in by making a difference in the fight against HIV and keeping kids and teenagers safe from AIDS. She founded the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, which aims at bringing necessary knowledge to youth by giving help and support to the community-based organizations that work with the local youth.
Lord of the Rings star Viggo Mortensen gets so used to the animals he works with that he once decided to buy the 14.2 hh paint pony, T.J. from his film Hidalgo. After that, he also bought the 3 horses he worked with in Lord of the Rings — he rode 2 of them in the movie and the third one was the one princess Arwen used. He then presented it to the stuntwoman who grew attached to the animal while shooting.
What was the last act of kindness you did or experienced? We’d be glad to hear from you in the comments!
I cannot accept deliveries due to illness (I don’t make it to the front door in time). So my friend lets me use her address and sometimes even changes her plans to be home for delivery! The other way round, she doesn’t speak English but loves crochet. I translate and print patterns for her.
I would love to get such a fancy dress, then again we don't have prom here :(
I have seen the reddit secret santa before but never joined, Seems pretty sick that Bill Gates joined in
Viggo Mortensen was such a cool actor in TLOTR, I always wondered why he didn't show up in more big movies
Thats awesome that Viggio buys the horses. 14.2 hands is pretty short for horse (i figured he was taller when watching the movie). Awesome! ?
