Ben Affleck Slams Self-Promoting Charity Celebs
Actor Ben Affleck is claiming that many of Hollywood’s big names are simply seeking publicity when doing charity work. The star - who has made three trips to Africa in the last eight months - returned from his own humanitarian mission in Africa’s Democratic Republic of Congo in May.
He says, “Here I am, this actor. There’s the potential for one of these cliche actors showing up out of the middle of nowhere in Africa. It’s really critical for me to learn and to understand and not to be some outsider who shows up and says, ‘I know what’s happening and I know what should be done.’
