Celebrity Traitors star Michael Sheen has revealed he's given away 'pretty much all' of his money.
The actor, 57, has previously described himself as not-for-profit after selling homes to fund a homeless project, and at one point he used £100,000 of his own money to anonymously wipe out strangers' debt.
Michael said his feelings on money stemmed from his teenage years when he 'didn't care' if he had money or not, and now he only cares about having enough to live comfortably with his family.
The Staged star is father to daughter Lily-Rose, 27, with his ex Kate Beckinsale, and also shares daughters Lyra, seven, and Mabli, four, with partner Anna Lundberg.
He said: 'At 18, I didn't care whether I had money or not.
'I wasn't living in poverty, but I made do with what I had. As with many things in my life, I've gone away and then come back home, back to the point where I started.'

Speaking to Saga Magazine, Michael added: 'I live in Wales again, for example. I never thought I would do that. I'm doing more theatre again.
'I've been very lucky that I've been able to earn a lot of money, but either on purpose or accidentally, I've ended up giving pretty much all of it away.'
Four decades later, Michael – whose TV and film credits include The Twilight Saga, Alice In Wonderland, Masters of Sex, Good Omens and The Queen – said still 'couldn't care less about material things'.
He added: 'I want to make sure my family are all right and we've got a roof over our heads and all the rest of it, but I do feel the same way at 57 as I did at 18 about this.
'I never would have anticipated that.'
Michael reflected on other ways life is better at 57 than at 18, and referenced his relationship with his children.
He said: 'For all it was a rollercoaster ride and for all my failings, it just changes you so much. My experience of life is completely different for having been a parent.'
Michael is also delighted to have 'the same ambition, but without the same kind of insecurity'.
The actor, who shares two daughters with his partner Anna Lundberg, said that now he only cares about having enough to live comfortably with his family
He explained: 'When I was a young 'un, thinking about people who I saw as really old, like over 30, I used to think the tragedy would be to lose your ambition and your desire to change the world.
'I realise now that's not what goes on at all. You can hold on to those desires. I still have them as keenly, if not more so.
'But I've been able to let go of a lot of the insecurities that get in the way, or that maybe manifest in a way that's obnoxious.
'For example, not being as generous as you should when it comes to taking on board other people's experiences. It's not black and white. It's not bad guys against good guys.'
Michael has joined a string of stars taking part in this year's Celebrity Traitors, but so far this series, he has remained as a Faithful.
Friday's episode saw Joe Lycett banished from the castle, after his attempts to be recruited turned him into a prime suspect.
When the contestants gathered for breakfast, they knew a recruitment had taken place, with Lycett declaring: 'It wasn't me!'
However, the previous night, the comedian had made no secret of his desire to switch sides.
And at the roundtable, Joe received the majority of votes after an epic slip-up.
He said: 'Let's say they were down to two last night and they recruited, there's so much heat on me for what I was doing last night that there's a good chance that I'll go tonight, which means that they will then have to recruit again tonight, denying them of murder.'
James Blunt said: 'I thought you said, if they banish me tonight, they will have to recruit another person tomorrow, which would imply...'
Joe's slip-up sent confusion around the table and ultimately sealed his fate however, his loyal new pal Miranda Hart refused to vote for him.
'Forgive me for doing the cardinal rule of letting emotion get to me; I've put Ross,' Hart said, as everyone burst out laughing, while Ross Kemp looked concerned.
She then said directly to Joe: 'I physically couldn't write your name down.'
Standing before the group at the roundtable, Joe, 38, said: 'Absolutely loved it. Like a total dream.'
'I do sort of feel like we are all a family now and, as such, expect to be in all of your wills. Very sad to be going, but what a wonderful group of people.
'I always wanted to start as a Faithful and end as a Traitor. I started as a Faithful, and I did not get my wish. I am a Faithful.'
