He might be the British Keanu Reeves. Just never heard a bad thing about him.
The man is a national treasure. Makes me proud to be Welsh.
Fair play Sheen!
How does one go about purchasing debt at a massively reduced rate? Can anyone do that?
When we remove the monarchy and declare a republic, Michael Sheen should be elected president, since Michael Palin is probably now too old.
The things people with the means can do is unfathomable. Great guy, hope the uber wealthy can take a note of this behaviour. Thank you Michael.
Man’s on a mission to make Port Talbot anything but a miserable place to live
Imagine the world we could live in if every rich and famous person had this sense of social responsibility
Misleading headline. No debts have been **written off**
Despite the money being owed by people remaining the same, the companies that own the debt can then sell them for less and less money.
Sounds like a scam. Passing debt around like it was an asset.
Although the system was “bizarre” and he initially had “no idea” how it worked, Sheen said “it seemed like a good thing to do”.
