A well-known Saudi actor donated a luxury Bentley car gifted to him by Saudi billionaire Alwaleed bin Talal for a local boy who survived a crash that killed his entire family.

Fayez Al Malki was visiting friends at a hospital in Riyadh when he was told about Yousuf bin Abu Baker, who lost his parents and two sisters in the accident.
“Al Malki went to the boy’s room in the hospital and extended condolence on the death of his family,” the Arabic language daily Al Hayat said.

“He then phoned Bentley dealers in Riyadh and told them that he had donated the car given to him by Prince Al Waleed to Yousuf.”

Malki was the UN Goodwill Ambassador for Gulf countries in 2012, but resigned later on the grounds Unicef is not helping children in war-battered Syria.
