Milo Ventimiglia shares emotional connection between his Malibu home loss and his TV role
Malibu: So, you know that actor Milo Ventimiglia from This Is Us? He recently had a pretty tough experience. He watched his home burn down in a wildfire, and it hit him hard. He even said it felt like “life imitating art,” since his character goes through something similar in the show.
These wildfires in California have been no joke. They’ve taken lives, destroyed homes, and left many people scrambling to escape. Even some celebrity homes were caught in the chaos.
Jeff Bridges, the Oscar-winning actor, lost his family home in Malibu too. It’s heartbreaking to see so many people affected by this disaster.
And it’s not just Milo and Jeff. Mel Gibson also lost his home while he was busy doing a podcast. It’s wild how life can throw these curveballs.
Milo got emotional when he returned to see what was left of his place. He talked about all the memories tied to different parts of the house. It’s tough to see your neighbors go through the same pain.
He mentioned how his character Jack Pearson in This Is Us deals with smoke inhalation after a fire. It’s eerie how closely his real life mirrored his role on the show.
After evacuating, he and his wife watched the flames on their security cameras. At first, it felt unreal, but then they had to accept the loss and turn it off. It’s a lot to process.
Mandy Moore, his co-star, also faced loss. She shared on Instagram that while part of her house is still standing, they lost their garage and back house. It’s a tough situation for everyone in the area.
Many other celebrities, like Paris Hilton and Billy Crystal, also lost their homes. It’s a sad time for so many.
On a brighter note, Jamie Lee Curtis and her family are stepping up, pledging a million dollars to help those affected. And Harry and Meghan are also doing their part by donating supplies and offering shelter to those in need.
With all this going on, Hollywood’s awards season is in a bit of a mess, with events getting rescheduled. But amidst the chaos, people are coming together to support each other and thank the firefighters and volunteers working hard to protect lives and homes.
