[Blind Gossip] This actor told fans that he was going to take something that he was passionate about and make it into a fan-oriented project.
He was so passionate about it, in fact, that he told fans that he didn’t want to profit from it.
As it turns out, that “passion” ended as soon as it started costing him money.
He asked the fans for money, saying that it would be used to defray the costs, with the rest donated to charity.
The fans didn’t want to pay up. So our actor chucked the whole idea and shut it down.
Hey, just because he was on a hit TV show and is starring in a successful movie doesn’t mean that his passion extends all the way to his own wallet!

Project: Chuck the movie.
I mean it worked for Veronica Mars but I don’t think the fan base is here for this one. And I’m not a big fan of paying for someone with a lot of money’s passion project.

No idea, but anyone who funds a rich moviemaker who’s too cheap to do it is, at best, naive.

I know this is referring to Zachary Levi who starred in Chuck and Shazam and is about his Nerd HQ project. I attended it one year in San Diego during Comic-Con and it was an incredible event – so much fun and all to raise money for restorative dental work for children.
He held it for several years and only had to fold it when it needed a different venue and he wasn’t able to raise the funds.
He is an incredible soul who’s given so much!
Sharper_Teeth says
I was so sad that there was no Nerd HQ last year. I went to one of his Conversations for a Cause…I think in 2016, and holy cow, he’s actually really smart. Knows a lot about history.
