Celebrity Good Samaritans



While some argue that celebrities are put on a pedestal, many stars have gone above and beyond to earn their accolades—and we're not just talking about doing their jobs well (although that's great, too!) In honor of Good Samaritan Day 2013, we want to take a look back at all of the celebs who have sprung into action during times of need.




JENNIFER LAWRENCE
Playing a heroine on- and offscreen, the Hunger Games star comforted a woman who had passed out on her lawn until paramedics arrived.



MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY
This superhero has many powers and most certainly isn't afraid to use them. The actor reportedly rescued a little girl from a coyote at a Los Angeles park and resuscitated a 50-year-old woman



DEMI MOORE
Oh, the power of words. After one of the actress' Twitter followers posted suicidal thoughts, Demi cautiously and sweetly replied. Her response gave police enough information to locate and help the distressed girl.



BRAD PITT
Man overboard! While in Venice promoting Burn After Reading, Brad Pitt pulled a fan out of the water after he had tripped and fallen in. Although shocked and scared, the boy left happy and unharmed with an autograph.


WILL FERRELL
Talk about a slippery slope! While filming an episode of Man vs. Wild, the funnyman saved adventurer Bear Grylls' life after he fell off an ice cliff near the Arctic Circle.

Apparently this is a common thing, which is weird because I never heard of it until it happened to me. I went through a Carl's Jr. drive-thru last summer, and when I pulled up to the window, the cashier told me the guy in front of me already paid. I was SO confused, because I didn't recognize the car (the cashier seemed just as surprised, asking if I knew him). It was just one of the nicest random acts of kindness I've ever experienced. I have too much social anxiety to do that myself, so I just donated $10 to a random charity online that day. But to all of you who make someone's day like that, thank you<3
