The personable public figure, who on Sunday roasted his former Avengers cast member Chris Evans with a 40th birthday Instagram post featuring a photo of Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt, has worked with charities since 2009 when he became a patron of the Australian Childhood Foundation.
But it was his donation of one million Australian dollars (£546,000) to the country’s bushfire appeal at the start of 2020, as well as his ongoing financial backing of groups leading the country’s recovery from the fires, which cemented his reputation at home and abroad.
He has also thrown his support behind charities Baby2Baby, Motion Picture and Television Fund Foundation, Hollywood Charity Horse Show, J/P Haitian Relief Organisation, Oceana and the Robert F Kennedy Memorial.
But the vast majority of those honoured weren t Hollywood actors, political staffers-turned pundits, or senior cops.
Instead they were unsung heroes in the Australian community, including children s cancer nurses, prison volunteers, retired ambulance officers and the sister of a high-profile murder victim.
Actor Chris Hemsworth was named a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to the performing arts, and to charitable organisations . But most awarded were not famous celebrities Most of those honoured in the awards expressed humility about their work serving the community. I feel very honoured by it, but I feel there s a lot more people more deserving than me, children s cancer nurse Mary McGowan told The Age. I don t see it as just for me, it s a team effort.
