    He actually is. The work he does for the Make A Wish Foundation is well above and beyond. I think he has contributed in actual hours a year and a half of his own time for sick kids in the past few years. Christ a search of YouTube and the work he does with and for sick kids will bring a lump to your throat.

    Probably one of only a handful of famous people on this planet who uses that for the benefit of others and to make them happy.
