The “Maleficent” actress and The Weeknd recently sparked dating rumors when they were seen exiting hot spot Giorgio Baldi in LA in July. She currently presides as a special envoy for the UN. The Weeknd’s move to join the cause mirrors his new 46-year-old gal pal Jolie, who became a Goodwill Ambassador in 2001 and continued to hold the title for the following 11 years. He will undoubtedly inspire the next generation of humanitarians in the fight to ensure no man, woman or child goes to bed hungry.” Jolie has worked with the UN for more than two decades. “We are honoured that he has joined our mission. “Whether he is performing or speaking out about global hunger, The Weeknd’s voice is powerful and inspiring, only matched by his dedication to helping people around the globe,” WFP USA chief Barron Segar said in a statement. The Weeknd, 31, is known for his charitable endeavors, and recently donated $1 million to WFP’s relief efforts in Ethiopia following months of deadly violence, the organization said. “The UN World Food Programme is doing urgent and important work to change and save lives on a daily basis and I feel passionate about addressing world hunger and helping people in need,” the “Can’t Feel My Face” singer said while accepting the position at a special ceremony in LA on Thursday, according to a press release. The Weeknd is following in Angelina Jolie’s humanitarian footsteps by joining the United Nation’s World Food Programme as a Goodwill Ambassador.
