Actress JULIANNE MOORE has slammed ANGELINA JOLIE and MADONNA for deliberately seeking media attention for their humanitarian efforts.
Moore, 47, claims she has made a conscious effort to keep her own political and social activism out of the limelight, and she cannot understand why stars get so much attention from the press for volunteering their time to help others.
She says, "It's definitely the 'to whom much is given' thing. And we have a tremendous amount of privilege.
"But, at the same time, I don't know why so much emphasis is placed on celebrities who volunteer. Most people do things in their daily lives. It's just normal."
Moore currently sits on the board of pro-choice organization Planned Parenthood and works in support of U.S. campaigns for international non-profit organization Save the Children.
