George Clooney Donates $25,000 to Writers

George Clooney has generously donated $25,000 to the Actors Fund, according to Variety.

The donated funds will provide emergency assistance to workers in the entertainment industry who fall on hard times because of the strike.

“To people like myself, the strike is a forced vacation, but with the rhetoric high, and two other strikes looming, there is the fear that a prolonged strike can destroy people who make a living in this industry,” Clooney, 46, said. “My hope is that people who can afford it will take responsibility for this and help out. This felt like the right place, because the Actors Fund is the most inclusive. It helps writers, and everyone from craft services workers to agency assistants who have been laid off.”

Bless George‘s heart!
