One Of Alan Rickman's Final Projects Was All About Helping

It's tough on some of us when we lose celebrities. They're movies/books/music/etc touched us and we can't help but feel at least a little sad at their passing.  We'll never get to meet them, to thank them, or just enjoy something new from them.

Check out this story about one of Alan Rickman's final projects.  Even though he was a big star, and also very ill, he leant his talent to a project that could bring hope and help to others...

Last year, Alan Rickman teamed up with a tortoise for a very important role.

The goal was to create a viral video to raise money for refugees living in the U.K.

The 30-second video features a teeny-tiny tortoise eating a strawberry — that's it. While the miniature star of the screen chomps away, Rickman — who you may know from his roles as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series and so much else — provides a voiceover explaining how this all works.

So how does it work anyway? It's simple, really. You watch the video, and that's it.

The way it works is that the more views the video gets, the more advertising dollars its creator — OneClickGiving, a charity created by students at Oxford University — makes from YouTube. OneClickGiving then donates the ad revenue to Refugee Council and Save the Children. You are helping them raise that money — all just by watching a cute little video. Make sense?

There'll be no shortage of tributes circling around the Internet, with fans in mourning and reflection, remembering him for the big roles he played on the stage and screen during his lifetime.

But just one video lets you help the refugees in the process.
