This is a great act of generosity. The Rock has made a substantial donation to support comedians currently on strike in Hollywood. “This is the largest individual donation we have ever received” rejoices diversity Sid Wilson, director of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, an American professional union representing over 160,000 actors, extras and media professionals from around the world. If the donation amount is confidential, diversity indicates that the sum is “seven numbers”. “This test will help thousands of actors feed themselves, keep their children safe, or drive their car.”Sid Wilson continues.
Great solidarity between actors
As it did during the pandemic, when the Hollywood strike became official, SAG-AFTRA sent out a letter to the 2,700 highest-income union members asking for help. “Because we’ve been through this before during COVID and got good feedback from our members to take care of our own, when the strike was called Courtney, I sat down with our team and said: : ‘Here we go again !’“Sid Wilson explained.
At such a moment, I am next to you and will not go anywhere, no matter what you need.

Dwayne Johnson
“At a moment like this, I am on your side and will not go anywhere, whatever your needs.”Dwayne Johnson would answer, according to Courtney B. Vance, president of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation. “He took an important and historic step to help us because he is one of us”she admits, hoping that her example will encourage other Hollywood stars to put their hands in their wallets to financially support the strikers.

For almost two weeks, thousands of actors have been on strike in Hollywood. The latter have joined a movement started by screenwriters who are demanding more pay and guarantees regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) so that they cannot script or clone their voices and images.
