Edward Norton Training For New York Marathon

Edward Norton is training for the New York Marathon, which will benefit the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust (they support the preservation of the Maasai tribal lands of East Africa).

The 40-year-old actor met the charity’s founder Luca Belpietro tens years ago during his first trip to Kenya. “I was impressed at the way he was really genuinely working with the community to create value out of being good stewards of the land,” Norton told CNN.

You can also follow Ed’s marathon training on Twitter @EdwardNorton. His latest film Leaves of Grass will premiere this week at the Toronto International Film Festival.

I heard he wasn’t the nicest but what do expect when you’re being harassed by fans all the time wanting to talk to you and sign autographs. It must get annoying.

He’s a good guy, been his proud fan for as long as I can remember. I’m very content that Mr. Edward Norton is not the standard celeb type at all. He’s a great actor, a versatile member of the film industry for acting, writing, and producing and he is a great humanitarian and conservationist. It’s nice to know he supports the causes I support as well.
