But dont worry. Theyre not mad. Its all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day. Founded
17、 in 1985 by two British actors, the aim of the event is to raise money to help poor people in the UK and Africa. Celebrities support the event by making appearances on special TV shows. For example, David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction, which the band produced for the event.
