This morning Nathan Fillion appeared live on Australia’s channel 7 morning program “The Morning Show”. Nathan is in Australia to attend the Hub Serenity Convention with fellow cast member Ron Glass. The convention will be held in Sydney on Saturday and in Melbourne on Sunday.
They discussed Desperate Housewives which airs on 7 in Australia, being one of the top 50 sexiest men alive and the reason for his visit to Australia. In honour of his character’s occupation in Desperate Housewives, the hosts of the show decided to have a little fun and tested Nathan with a quiz on gynaecology.
The latest piece of Martin Firrell’s public art project “Hero” has been unveiled online today. You can view it via the link below.
Nathan Fillion lends his voice, and his face to the project that aims to get people thinking about what we consider heroes today. Nathan Fillion’s words in the latest piece explain about “True Strength”
I’m not afraid to trust someone
I’m not afraid to open my heart
I’m not afraid to be kind
I think there are some people who view kindness as a weakness
I don’t agree
I think of kindness as a strength
It shows that someone is working to the betterment of not only themselves…
Whenever you see kind people they’re improving the world around them
Every day
One person at a time
When people are kind to me I notice, and I’m grateful
I’m not afraid to be grateful
The latest piece can be viewed via the link below where you will also find links to previous installments of the project which will be released to the public in London later this year. At the site you can also purchase merchandise or donate to assist the privately funded project to speak out about “True Strength”.

Background:
HERO is an attempt to re-evaluate what we mean when we use the word hero. It is a multi-media project started by cultural activist Martin Firrell and taken up by people in more than 80 countries. Featuring Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Serenity, Waitress), HERO asks the question why are our heroes usually male, white and violent; and airs the views of men, women and children who have experienced a different kind of heroism at home, at work, at war.
