Ricky Gervais Donates £2.5M

Putting credibility behind his advocacy for animals. Gervais just made a massive donation to nearly a dozen animal welfare groups:

He is a very interesting character.

Mind you I wish I had £2.5M to give away. I did give Wikipedia $20 yesterday :innocent:

Hi

He is a man of principle

It is rare to find someone who donates large amounts of money without any expectation of a reward here in the UK.

They often expect an honour in return.

Me too … it restores your faith in human nature doesn’t it.

Good on him. I hope it is used well to directly help alleviate suffering. There is so much abuse around the world.

I believe he didn’t shout it out on the rooftops, he just did, not for recoginition. I know he’s said an animal is better than a human because they won’t lie to you.
When 'i first became aware og RG my initial reaction was positive, not neative but I did find him a bit daft or silly, but since actually paying attention actually realised he isn’t daft and makes sense, quite bright actually. I like hkm.

Good on Mr Gervais. I also applaud Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift for giving millions to charities. It is interesting to note who criticizes their giving.
