Hollywood actor Michael Sheen, best known for his performances in Amadeus, Twilight, A Very Royal Scandal, and more, has paid off 900 people’s debt worth $1million. According to the BBC, the actor took the initiative to help people in his hometown in South Wales.
The people of Port Talbot were majorly affected when Tata Steels closed last remaining blast furnace in September last year. The decision was controversial as it is part of a restructuring plan at the UK’s largest steelworks that would result in the loss of 2,800 jobs.
