#16: Colin Farrell

An Oscar nominee, Colin Farrell passionately supports youth through his charitable actions, significantly for Angelman syndrome through donations and UNICEF. His compassion extends beyond large charities, evident in his 2007 life-changing encounter with a homeless man via a shared cigarette.

In an act of sheer generosity, Farrell took the man, David, on a shopping spree amounting to $2,100 and also withdrew $830 for him, helping him start anew. Unaware of Farrell’s fame, David was touched by his ordinary yet extraordinary kindness, according to a 2012 Global News report.
