Top 10 Celebrities Who Do Good Things Aside from Their Fame
Everyone is a hero in one way or another. Some just wear the mask known as fame to play the "I do whatever" card. Here are some celebrities who try to be great people, and generally are sucessful.
Russell Carrington Wilson is an American football quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League. Russell Wilson pays weekly visits to Seattle Children's Hospital, Wilson generally spazzes kids out, 'cause they get to meet him, and he tries to provide a sense of hope.

He is famous for his band's hit song “Livin’ On A Prayer“ released in 1986. He ...read more. Yes, he's a bigwig in the music industry, even in 2020, but when his free-time isn't spent getting emotions out by playing his guitar, Jon Bon Jovi is working in the Soul Kitchen, feeding the homeless.
You don't have to be a hardcore fan of his, to know he loves the homeless, and is an overall good guy, when he's not behind the microphone. But you DO have to learn a bit about the guy.
Angelina Jolie is an American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards. She has also been cited as Hollywood's highest-paid actress. ...read more. I never thought I'd put her on this list (mostly out of prejudice), but Jolie used her fame for the better, and made extensive donations to various humanitarian causes, served as an UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, and paid visits to at-risk communities, in 2015.
Not surprised she makes this list.
Sandra Annette Bullock is an American actress and producer. She is one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses, and is an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award winner. I thought she was kind of weird, but when I looked up celebrities who use their fame to help their community, world, and so on, I found out that Sandra Bullock is in disaster relief and donated 1,000,000 bucks to the American Red Cross in 2011
Wow. I thought the females on your list are ditzy liars. Even if so, they have hearts of gold somewhere in there
Christopher Michael "Chris" Pratt is an American actor. He came to prominence from his television roles, including Bright Abbott in Everwood and Andy Dwyer in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation. Star Lord, here may be a bit goofy, when in that character, but is a member of the Make-a-Wish Foundation and March of Dimes. Chris Pratt also, like Russell Wilson, visits children with poor health.
He's different from the rest of the Marvel actors, and tries to be a good guy. I don't want to look like the bad guy who put a wet rag on your list,so I'm gonna leave everyone in the dark with regards to who and why.
Christopher Anthony John "Chris" Martin is an English singer, songwriter and musician. He is best known as the lead singer of rock band Coldplay. Donates 10% of his income to charity.

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins is an English singer and songwriter. Graduating from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording contract by XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. She is best known with her international hit singles ...read more. In 2017 Adele went through much of her time doing beneath the radar charity work with impeded youthful Londoners. In July of that year, the artist was seen at Grenfell Tower comforting individuals less than 24 hours after the blast tore through the building, killing 72. Adele utilized social media to pay tribute to the casualties and excite open gifts.
I used to think she looks a bit strange, but I'm starting to think she's pretty. The being a "do-gooder" just enforces that.

Benjamin Edward Meara "Ben" Stiller is an American actor, comedian, and filmmaker. He is well known for his roles in various comedies including There's Something About Mary, Zoolander, DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story, and Tropic Thunder. To be honest, it's generous to call Stiller a celebrity, since he hasn't been in any movies since Night At the Museum 3, but hey, Ben Stiller served pancakes during Hurricane Sandy. Not gonna deny credit where it's due.
Jennifer Shrader Lawrence is an American actress. Lawrence began her career in television, playing her first major role as a main cast member on the TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show. J-law may have played the role of a hero in The Hunger Games movies, but Jennifer Lawrence became a real hero when she aided a collapsed woman and waited with her while paramedics came, back in 2012

What exactly did he do?
Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. ...read more. I'm surprised that characters like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift have ever done anything short of show up late for concerts. The latter can be said, whether I like it or not. Apparently, Taylor Swift is known for her good deeds, almost as much as her pop songs. Just one example is her meeting a six-year-old girl, also named Taylor, who was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Swift's own mother tested negative for cancer, so it must be something she has an unbreakable stance on.

Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more. A lot of people hate Justin Bieber with a passion, but Justin Bieber, much like Chris Pratt, is a member of the Make-a-Wish foundation, but Justin Bieber granted his 200th wish to Annalysha Brown-Rafanan, and since then has probably fulfilled more wishes. (I still don't like the guy, but can respect him more, now.)
Andrew Russell Garfield is a British-American actor. Born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Epsom, Surrey, Garfield began his career on the UK stage and in television productions.
