In his exclusive interview with Haute Living, the star shared why taking part in philanthropic movements and social issues are so important to him. “I have the opportunity to help others by the virtue of what I do,” he notes. “I have a great platform to give a voice to people who are underrepresented or don’t have a voice. I think that’s a part of my responsibility.”
