Michael Sheen Says He’s a “Not-for-Profit” Actor, Will Use Future Earnings to Fund Social Projects

He added, “I’m at the stage of my life and career where I have a window of opportunity that will probably never be this good again. I’m able to get people in a room, I can open doors. I don’t want to look back and think, I could have done something with that platform. I could have done something with that money.”through his hometown of Port Talbot in South Wales in 2011 was a “turning point” in his life. “That project involved the entire town and it was a big awakening for me.

“I would come back to visit three or four months later, and find out that funding had gone and that organization didn’t exist anymore,” he said, adding, “I wanted to help those people. I didn’t just want to be a patron or a supportive voice, I wanted to actually do more than that.” The other big push factor for Sheen was the soccer tournament, the Homeless World Cup, which was held in Cardiff, Wales in 2019. Sheen was a supporter of the event, and when he heard that it was in danger of not happening due to a shortage of funding just days before kick-off, he decided to act. “I had to make a decision – I could walk away from it, and it wouldn’t happen.

Sheen fronted the money to keep the tournament going himself. “I had a house in America and a house [in the U.K.] and I put those up and just did whatever it took. It was scary and incredibly stressful. And I’ll be paying for it for a long time,” he said. Despite the financial outlay and personal hardship, Sheen found that he could make the money back and keep funding things he believed in. “When I came out the other side I realized I could do this kind of thing and, if I can keep earning money it’s not going to ruin me. There was something quite liberating about going, alright, I’ll put large amounts of money into this or that, because I’ll be able to earn it back again.

Brilliant!!
