Weird Al
Did you know or ever wonder why Weird Al declined $5 million for a beer commercial back in the 1980s? Well, apparently, he didn’t want his youthful followers to link him to those dubious actions. Now, the fact that the real Weird Al Yankovic avoided using illegal substances, alcohol, and even foul language throughout his career is quite well known, but it is impressive he didn’t let a whopping $5 million dollars corrupt his morals!
Do you think Weird Al’s choice was too radical? Perhaps he could have done the commercial and given the money to charities or even given it back to his fans. Nevertheless, it is quite honorable he managed to maintain such strong beliefs throughout his whole career – I doubt we can say the same for many modern celebrities.
