Celebrity Biographies
The Humblest Hollywood Stars from The Richest
So envious of leading and spoiledlifestyle, some of the Hollywood celebs often go beyond narcissism into the realms of eccentricity and hedonism. However, there are few who manage to keep their sanity and sanity under such circumstances. There are few who prefer to keep their heads down and get on with life rather than open up about their qualities and perceived insults. Here is the list of the ten most humble Hollywood stars compiled by The Richest.
-
Dave Grohl
The frontman of the famous “Foo Fighters” and theformer drummer of “Nirvana” is one of the most influential rock musicians and the third richest drummer in the world after Ringo Starr and Phil Collins with a personal fortune of $ 225 million. Most rock musicians are known for drug abuse and debauchery, but Grohl is one of the rarest. In an interview he revealed that he had never touched cocaine and heroin. He smoked cannabis and took LSD but has been clean since he was 20.
Grohl has been involved with several non-profit organizations such as Autism Speaks and the Elton John Aids Foundation. He was also an advocate for LGBT rights and has spoken publicly about his beliefs in marriage equality.

Jennifer Lawrence
The 24-year-old Hunger Games star is one of Hollywood’s brightest up-and-coming talents. With commercial successes such as the Hunger Games series and the X Men franchise, and her particular acting talents in the critically acclaimed Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, she has come across as a very grounded and intelligent young woman . While her young contemporaries are caught up in controversy at every turn, Lawrence has recognized her responsibility as a role model for young girls and has worked to deliver the right messages.
She is also involved with charities such as the World Food Program , Feed America , and The Thirst Project . Lawrence is the official ambassador for the world’s largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities – the Special Olympics.

Keanu Reeves
Thanks to his role as savior Neo in the famous “The Matrix trilogy”, Keanu Reeves is one of the most popular and well-known Hollywood stars. The all-rounder, who in addition to acting also deals with production, direction, writing and playing guitar, is extremely modest. Even humble might be too small a word to describe Reeves. Consider that he gave away $80 million of his $114 million in The Matrix Sequels earnings to the special effects and makeup staff. He has even reported that money is the last thing on his mind. Cool, isn’t it?
Reeves started a cancer foundation and chose not to attach his name to the organization. He also supports non-profit organizations such as PETA, The SickKids Foundation and Stand Up To Cancer.
-
Chris Pratt
Chris Pratt, with his old-time movie star persona and sizzling hot physique, was named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive 2014” for the second time after Chris Hemsworth. Pratt has undoubtedly worked very hard to achieve the success he is having now. This could be the reason for his down-to-earth demeanor. As a superhero in “Guardians of Galaxy” he was also a superhero in private. When he is not working, he is at the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, bringing joy and happiness to sick children. Also, instead of attending MTV Movie Awards 2015 where he was nominated for five awards, he decided to compete in a triathlon organized in support of wounded veteran Mike Day.
-
George Clooney
Ah, every man’s envy. Because there’s no denying that almost every woman drops us for gorgeous Mr. Ocean . Thank God he married human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin. The veteran of countless erotic men lists, Clooney is known for his tireless work as a political and social activist. For years he has been involved in the humanitarian organization “Not On Our Watch Project”, which works to prevent mass atrocities. After the unfortunate earthquake in Haiti, Clooney organized the “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon to raise funds for the victims of the natural disaster.
Among other things, Clooney worked as an advocate for finding a solution to the Darfur conflict. He has produced documentaries and worked to show the plight of refugees pouring out of the war-torn region.
-
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp is one of the most famous and bankable celebrities. Its marketability is such that, despite being a dreadful and boring film, The Tourist still grossed $278 million worldwide. But instead of joining his own hype and acting like a prima donna like other celebs, Depp feels suspicious and awkward in the limelight and spends something of a recluse. One could definitely change his decision to live on his estate in France, but there’s no denying that this was driven in part by his desire to stay away from the intense paparazzi and public limelight. He is also known for visiting sick children unannounced and dressing up as the famous Captain Jack Sparrow.
-
Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman is very different from his infamous Wolverine character, known for his bad temper and abrasive personality. In his private life, the Aussie star comes across as calm, grounded and compassionate. As much as he pushes his body at the gym to maintain his strong physique, he also spends time meditating for emotional well-being and mental peace. Another thing he attributes his success to is remembering his failures as much as his successes.
Jackman has narrated a documentary for the Global Poverty Project, with whom he also works as a global consultant. He is also a World Vision Ambassador and, along with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, Patron of the Bone Marrow Institute in Australia.
