Michael Sheen

Channel 4 programme about Michael Sheen buying and writing off a load of debt. Very interesting programme, and what a lovely man he is 😊

    It's no wonder banks didn't want to speak with him when the profits they make and the interest rates charged are obscene

    I like him as an actor, however, I did find him a bit luvvie and he seemed to be the usual lefty champagne socialist.  

    However, having read about his plans to be a "not for profit" actor and now with him spending a good chunk of his time paying off people's debt I've totally changed my view about him.    What a man he is.  Hopefully some of his peers will follow his fantastic example.
  • He sold his house to finance the homeless World Cup because the sponsors pulled out, and donates his time and money to helping people. He’s a socialist and puts his money where his mouth is. 
    The world would be a better place if there were more like him and less greedy people.
