They feel there is more they can do with their fame and they decide to give back those who don't have as much as they do. Of course Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, with their adopted children from poor countries and all the charity work they do alongside friends like George Clooney and Bono from U2 are only a few of these celebs.
