Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber does not have the shiniest reputation, even for a celebrity the Canadian Pop star has gotten himself into a lot of tight spot over the years.
Yet his latest action is one that is guaranteed to make a lot of people smile; well unless you’re a cynical sceptic like me and ascribe other motivations to the act.
Bieber won the Champ of Charity award at the Young Hollywood Awards for his extensive work with the make-a-wish foundation. The award was handed to him by Australian pop star Cody Simpson, accompanied by a montage of Bieber’s work with Make-a-Wish.
Bieber then called onto the stage Grace Kesabalak, one of the Make-a-Wish recipients, then gave his away his award plague to the young lady and gave her a hug in a heart-warming moment.
Kebalak, who had asked to attend the event as part of her gift, had the biggest surprise of her life.
20 year old Bieber has seen a big hit to his reputation over the years, having had several run-ins with the law. He was arrested last month in Miami Beach for driving under the influence, and was charged also with resisting arrest and assault.
Yet Bieber has done great work with Make-a-Wish foundation, a US based organisation that aim to make life better for kids with life threatening conditions. The organisation utilises celebrities to ‘grant wishes’ for these special kids in desperate need.
In his acceptance speech, Bieber said “Someone asked me backstage and they said, ‘What’s it like to give?’ And I didn’t really know what to say, but I know it’s so much better than receiving”
‘Beliebers; all over the world would be shrieking in delight, whilst others would be calling the whole thing a publicity stunt. Whatever it is, if Bieber deserves condemnation when he screws up, then he deserves a little thumbs up for this action.
Whatever the motivation, it was a beautiful little gesture, and props to Justin Bieber.
