Aus­tralians are gen­er­ous peo­ple, and we’re always pre­pared to give from our own pock­ets to oth­ers, even if the oth­ers are mul­ti­mil­lion­aire actors in cos­tume as a home­less per­son. This is what hap­pened to Lord of the Rings (amongst other things) star Sir Ian McK­ellen, while sit­ting in Syd­ney a few weeks ago:

About St. Eutychus
