"Jane the Virgin" star Justin Baldoni, who plays hot hotelier Rafael Solano in the series, has no trouble making fans swoon on the small screen. However, Baldoni is proving that he is even more swoon-worthy in real life because of his kind-hearted and humanitarian spirit.
The actor recently spent a heartwarming day with homeless mothers and children of Midnight Mission, according to ET Online.
Midnight Mission is a Los Angeles organization that helps impoverished families by providing them with counselling, job placement, housing, and education.
Baldoni uplifted the kids' spirits by playing games, building sandcastles, and doing the hula hoop with them.
"As storytellers we have a responsibility to be of service," said Baldoni in the video posted by Wayfarer Entertainment.
"It's very easy.... especially in this business to get caught up in how the world sees you," he continued. "If we can stop thinking about ourselves... then the whole world will change."
Baldoni's co-star Gina Rodriguez, who plays the lead character Jane Gloriana Villanueva, is also doing her part to give back to the community.
The actress has just launched a social media campaign this January to empower the Latino community.
"It's me doing it to uplift and highlight and empower other Latinos," Rodriguez said. "To send the message that there's a lot of wonderful and positive things going on in our community - that's what we should focus on."
The campaign is called #MovementMondays, which celebrates the many abilities of members of the Latino community and helps promote diversity in Hollywood.
"At first, I was definitely trying to give information to the Latino communities," Rodriguez explained. "I think that the more that I do this, the more information and education will be given out [about] our power, and what we can do as a community when we untie together and start using our power for good. Obviously, I always think that's the best way to use it."
