Britney Spears' beau teams up with Michelle Obama, Bradley Cooper to advocate for vets

Britney Spears' boyfriend Charlie Ebersol has teamed up with Michelle Obama and Bradley Cooper to advocate for veterans.

The trio also launched the 6 Certified program designed to encourage an authentic depiction of US veterans in movies and TV shows and they hope that their program will help show how much good veterans continue to do after coming back from war, E! Online reported.

Ebersol said that the media tends to say "they're victims or they're heroes" and then people see these very extreme depictions of hero or martyr or victim, so when the view is normalized, it really affects the public perception, and it leads to positive and powerful movements.

Ebersol said of Cooper's depiction of Kyle in 'American Sniper' that he comes back and he's a productive member of society, and he was using his military experience to make people's lives better, and he wasn't an extreme hero or an extreme victim, which isthe ultimate goal.

The producer also cited TV's Modern Family as another great example of veteran portrayal in the media, adding that Ed O'Neill's character, Jay Pritchett, is not like he has some military experience that inexplicably altered his life, but his commitment to his family, his technical understanding-they're all things he learned while in the military and drive his character.

Ebersol added that if his legacy 20 years from now is that he produced television, that'll be disappointing, but if his legacy is that he was able to effect real change in the lives of other people, then that's a big win for him.
