Michael Sheen turns himself into a 'not-for-profit' actor
Michael Sheen said he has turned himself into a " not-for-profit actor".
The Welsh actor and activist sold his houses to ensure the 2019 Homeless World Cup went ahead in Cardiff.
Now the Hollywood star has pledged to carry on using The Money he earns from acting to fund more projects.
He Said : " There was something quite liberating about going, alright, I'll put large amounts of money into this or that, because I'll be able to earn it back again. "
Sheen added: " I've essentially turned myself into a social enterprise, a not-for-profit actor. "
Speaking to The Big Issue , Sheen described how he stepped in to bankroll the when funding for the £2m project fell through at The Last moment.
" I had committed to helping to organise that And Then suddenly, with not long to go, there was No Money , " He Said .
" I had to make a decision - I could Walk Away from it and it wouldn't happen.
" I thought, I'm not going To Let that happen. So, I put all my money into keeping it going.
" I had A House In America and A House here and I put those up and just did whatever it took.
" It was scary and incredibly stressful. I'll be paying for it for a long time.
" But when I came out The Other side, I realised I could do this kind of thing and, if I can keep earning money, it's not going to Ruin Me . "

However Sheen revealed the " turning point" followed through The Streets of his hometown Port Talbot in 2011.
" I got to know people and organisations within my hometown that I didn't know existed, " He Said .
" Little groups who were trying to help young carers, who had just enough funding to make a tiny difference to A Kid 's life by putting on one night a week where they could Get Out and go bowling or watch a film and Just Be A Kid .
" I [came] Back To visit three or four months later [to] find out that funding had gone and that organisation didn't exist anymore. "
He added: " I realised the difference between that child's life being a little bit better or not was ultimately a small amount of funding and I wanted to help Those People .
" I didn't just want to be a patron or a supportive voice, I wanted to actually do More Than that.
" That's when I thought, I need to go back and live in Wales again. "
