Russell Crowe is honoring his friend, the late Anthony Bourdain, with a generous donation to a restaurant in need.

Following the massive Beirut explosion, the actor pledged $5,000 to help rebuild a 53-year-old eatery, Le Chef, which is one of thousands of buildings destroyed in the chemical blast that killed hundreds and injured thousands. 

Russell clarified that the donation was made “on behalf of Anthony Bourdain,” who died in 2018 and dined at Le Chef on two separate visits to Lebanon. 

“I thought that he would have probably done so if he was still around,” he tweeted. “I wish you and Le Chef the best and hope things can be put back together soon.”

What an amazing act of kindness. Beirut needs all of our support right now.

If you find it in your heart to donate to a space in need, please do!
