Brad Pitt recently took Ellen DeGeneres on a tour of New Orleans to show her the work his organisation – Make it Right – has been doing to help people whose lives and homes were devastated after Hurricane Katrina.
Brad Pitt’s knowledge of the area and the people – and his passion for both – is incredible. Have a look.
He’s humble too. At one point during the tour he says: “I’m getting far too much credit for this. This took a lot of very smart people coming in and attacking the situation. It took the families determined to come back and their resilience and they’re defining what this thing was going to be. I get far too much credit for bringing some really smart people together.”
Brad channels a hit man for Interview magazine.

Refreshing! Good for Brad Pitt! I am not into celebrities, certainly don’t refer to them as famous. But I do respect Brad Pitt because it comes across that he is genuinely committed and concerned about the welfare of this community and indeed poorer communities all over the globe and that is a good thing. In the office however, the concensus is that he has a good PR company telling him to act humble while focusing on the rebuild…good for business. Oh I hope that is not so, may as well just go into politics!

You don’t refer to them as famous? The definition of famous is ‘well known’ or ‘in the public eye’.

Yes famous means ‘well known” or “in the public eye” but for “something good” or “excelling in something” as against infamy which is well known for something negative. Brad Pitt I guess is an good example a well earned famous. I think his involvement with the rebuild after Hurricane Katrina is a just wonderful.

What a great story and I have to agree with what Brad said about New Orleans. It is indefinable, unique and a wonderful place!

I don’t care who the celebrity is but I LOVE knowing that people who earn that sort of money do good in the world with it. And without much fuss or any expectation of something in return. He is a good person. What a great role model for his children.
