Angelina Jolie is renowned for being a humanitarian, and husband Brad Pitt is following suit as he recently visited victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans to get updates of how they are coping.

Brad Pitt has a foundation called Make it Right and its website says, "Through innovative partnerships and community-led design sessions, we are working in neighborhoods across the country and educating others to change the way buildings are designed and built."

"Innovation results in affordable building designs, methods and materials that drive new industry standards for green buildings," the site added.

On Friday, while on a break filming, Angelina Jolie's husband rode on his bicycle to visit with families nearby who were hit by Hurricane Katrina and find out how he can help.

"Movie star Brad, 50, went door-to-door on a bicycle to check up on the locals, as part of his Make It Right foundation, and evaluated progress in his quest to build 150 storm resistant affordable family homes," said Daily Mail.

"One elderly resident seemed particularly pleased to be paid a visit from the star, as they chatted for a while in her garden," it added.

Angelina Jolie's husband is on a mission, through the Make it Right Foundation, to build 150 affordable homes on green-living concept. According to Daily Mail, at the Lower 9th Ward alone, Hurricane Katrina leveled 4,000 homes.

Brad Pitt is currently in New Orleans while filming "The Big Short," opposite Ryan Gosling and Christian Bail, based on Michael Lewis work, "The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine."

"The Big Short tells the story of the housing bubble through the eyes of Michael Burry, a 32-year-old neurologist-turned-investor and one-eyed eccentric who spotted the subprime-mortgage crisis early and made a huge bet against it," said Slate.

"While Wall Street sliced, diced, and bundled rotten assets, Burry pored over hundreds of prospectuses for questionable bonds," it said.
