Big Bang Theory star Kunal Nayyar, who in the 2010s was twice ranked the world’s third-highest-paid TV actor, revealed in a recent interview that he uses his earnings to make donations on GoFundMe.

“Money has given me greater freedom and the greatest gift is the ability to give back, to change people’s lives,” the 44-year-old BAFTA nominee told British outlet The i Paper. “What I really love to do is go on GoFundMe at night and just pay random families’ medical bills. That’s my masked vigilante thing!”
