Actor, and comedian, Anthony Anderson, who is known to post Instagram quotes about the blessings of God, blessed 1500 families in Compton, California with groceries this past week.
Black-ish star, Anthony Anderson was joined by Compton’s mayor, Aja Brown (you should google her when you get a chance, she’s awesome!), and sports commentator Marcellus Wiley (who is a Compton native) to host the Compton Christmas Grocery Giveaway.
The event, with the help of Walmart fed 1500 families in the Compton community.
Anderson said about the event,

**BONUS**
Anderson once shared how Prince, who is a devout Jehovah Witness tried to convert him. Check it out:
“I’m not going to lie, this is a true story: He cornered me at the elevator in his house one day, trying to convert me to be a Jehovah’s Witness. Oh my god, he was 2 inches away from my face and I made the mistake of looking him in his eyes. Jamie Foxx said never look him in his eyes! And he [Prince] was like,Anthony, I hear things are going on in Hollywood with my brothers and sisters. Is everything OK? I said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Prince.’ He was like, Can I have your number to call you? And I was like, ‘Ah, yeah.’ Then some noise happened in the back and he said, I’ll be right back. … Twenty minutes later I’m standing in the corner at the elevator waiting on Prince and my wife says, Baby, come on, let’s go, it’s 3:30 in the morning. I said, ‘Baby, Prince asked me to stay right here. He’s going to call me.’ And so he made three wardrobe changes [the audience laughed], finally came back and got my number. We’ve been cool ever since.”
