The Good Omens character Aziraphale is being internalized by the actor. From now on, his earnings from acting projects will go towards funding social projects.
In the last few years, I have realized that I want to be one of those people who help other people. I don't want to be a person who enjoys the fruits of what other people have done and then pulls the drawbridge up.
His work began after a turning point in his life. In Port Talbot, the actor performed in a National Theatre production.
He got to know the surrounding community and learned about the charity work done for children in the town. Several of the charity groups had shut down due to a lack of funding when he returned for a visit a few months later.
A small amount of funding can make a difference in a child's life. I wanted to help them. I wanted to do more than just be a patron or a supportive voice. I need to go back to Wales.
The Homeless World Cup was on the verge of being canceled when Sheen gave his money. The Welsh actor sold his homes in the UK and U.S. to raise money for the event.
I had to make a decision and walk away from it. All those people from all around the world who were hoping to have this experience would not have it. I didn't want that to happen, I thought.
I put all my money into keeping it going. I will be paying for it for a long time. When I came out of the other side, I realized I could do this kind of thing, and if I can keep earning money, it will not ruin me. I have turned myself into a social enterprise.
The second season of Good Omens, an animated film adaptation of Heart Of Darkness, and a movie with Jeff Goldblum are upcoming projects by the man.
