In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in February, actor George Clooney expressed fear that he might not be doing enough to achieve the goals he's set for himself, especially when it comes to helping others. 

 

“I am terrified of not finishing, or at least not participating enough,” he said. “Everybody has a fear of death, but my fear isn’t dying; it’s of not getting the job done.”

 

Clooney, already a Hollywood legend, has been passionately involved for years, shedding light on the atrocities taking place in the Darfur region of Sudan. He's traveled to the war-torn country many times, and he's also co-founded charities and met with heads of state (most notably twice with President Obama) to urge action in preventing further bloodshed and violence. 

 

In March, while attending a protest outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C., Clooney (along with his father Nick and several current and former members of the U.S. House of Representatives) was arrested. "You never know if you are accomplishing anything," he told reporters after being released with a $100 fine. "We hope it helps."

 

The 51-year-old's latest effort to help includes selling off his prized 2008 Tesla “Signature 100” Roadster.
