The crowd at a Luke Bryant concert erupted in cheers Friday night when the country music singer brought Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) on stage to promote the state’s recovery efforts from Hurricane Ian.

Bryan’s concert in Jacksonville, Florida, which was part of his ‘Raised Up Right’ tour, had been postponed several times in recent weeks due to the hurricane.

“We’re going to have some fun and we’re gonna raise some money tonight for the great state of Florida,” Bryan said. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the stage Governor Ron DeSantis.”

DeSantis was greeted by loud cheers as he walked on stage and tossed hats out into the crowd.

“All you Florida voters, if you want to keep the state of Florida free, we need you to vote on November 8th,” the governor said.

Shortly after the governor made the remarks, the crowd started chanting, “USA! USA! USA!”

“The state of Florida had to deal with the major hurricane last month, and it’s not easy to deal with. It’s hurt a lot of people,” DeSantis added. “Though I can tell you this, show me any other state that can rebuild bridges in three days. I don’t think you can find that.”

DeSantis noted that more than $50 million has been raised to help the victims of the hurricane and then he directed people to donate money to the victims through the Florida Disaster Fund.

Bryan then said he would donate proceeds from the show in Estero, Florida, to the fund to help victims.

“Because of the hurricane, they had to use the venue that I was performing in as a shelter. Well, we’ve been going back and forth, we didn’t know if it was too soon to play or not but the area of Estero said, ‘Get your a** to Estero,’ so, we’re doing a concert,” Bryan said. “So, what we’re going to do is give a large portion of the proceeds in Estero, Florida … to everybody that’s bought tickets, kept the ticket, and spending the money … I’m donating that money to the great state of Florida.”

DeSantis later thanked Bryan on Twitter, writing: “Thanks for letting me crash the party last night, @lukebryan!”

Actress Julia Roberts revealed in a recent interview that Civil Rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. had paid her mother’s hospital bill after she was born.

Roberts sat down with “CBS Mornings” host Gayle King in late September, and during the wide-ranging conversation, the “Erin Brockovich” actress explained the connection between her parents — who ran a theater school in Atlanta — and MLK and his wife, Coretta Scott King.

“Let’s start with the day you were born,” King said, asking, “Who paid for the hospital bill?”

“Okay, her research is very good,” Roberts said, flashing a smile and prompting King to interrupt: “We’re professionals.”

“This is … ah, the King family paid for my hospital bill,” Roberts continued.

“Not my family,” King laughed.

“Not your family —” Roberts agreed.

“Martin Luther King Jr. —” King prompted.

“And Coretta,” Roberts said.

“How did that come about?” King asked, turning to the audience and adding, “Did you guys know that about Julia Roberts? … That’s what I said! Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King … why did they do that?”

“Obviously because my parents couldn’t pay for the hospital bill,” Roberts began, adding, “My parents had a theater school in Atlanta called The Actors and Writers Workshop.”

“One day Coretta Scott King called my mother and asked if her kids could be part of the school because they were having a hard time finding a place that would accept her kids,” Roberts said, noting that at the time, segregation made it difficult for black students to find theater schools that would accept them — especially if there were also white students at the same school.

“My mom was like, ‘Sure, come on over,'” Roberts continued. “And so they just all became friends, and they helped us out of a jam.”

“Yeah, because in the 60s you didn’t have little black children interacting with little white kids in acting school and your parents were like, ‘Come on in,'” King replied. “I think that’s extraordinary.”

Roberts, who just celebrated her 55th birthday on Friday, has recently been out promoting her latest film alongside actor George Clooney: “Ticket to Paradise.”
