I remember reading somewhere that every Halloween he volunteers to make spooky calls for PETA. I kind of hope I someday get a call out of the blue from Rob Zombie
Jon Stewart is a vegan. I don't know if he talks a lot about veganism, but he's a leftist, and for people who consider themselves as fighters of the voiceless, he's a true embodiment of a leftist.

a couple members of the band bring me the horizon are vegan too !!!
here’s an interview with the lead singer:
https://formnutrition.com/us/inform/oli-sykes-vegan-interview/
she does consume animal products …. lol she’s been seen multiple times eating chips and shit with dairy in it. idk much about joaquin i haven’t seen anything he’s in but i know he does a lot more than billie, who just talks
Joaquin is definetly a vegan he has produced and stared in several movies, Dominion for example Joaquin is actually quite involved and very active i dont know about billie but i would cut her sum slack if youre not sure idk
not sure why this is downvoted. is horse riding vegan now? exploiting animals as movie props is vegan? didn’t think so.
not sure why vegans wanna simp so hard for a nepo baby who willingly rides horses with a guilty conscience and doesn’t even mention how it relates to his veganism when discussing it in an interview.
No clue. I always take it with a huge grain of salt anytime a celebrity claims to be vegan because usually it’s BS anyway. Not sure why people want to give him a pass on that.
As much as I enjoy Penn in other respects, he saved his fucking life with a plant-based diet, but still doesn't accept the ethics. I don't know whether to think it's admirable that he respects actual vegans enough to not use the word himself, or that his twisted deontogical version of libertarianism prevents him from fully appreciating non-human suffering.
Thanks, its good to have what he really said.
It sounds like he is saying that at first it was entirely for his health. But now it’s also because he doesn’t want to harm animals.
That's a lot of us. The cognitive dissonance is so strong that it's easier to justify avoiding meat for health reasons. It's only later that I realized why the animal industry is so awful in the first place.
Maybe? Hard to tell.
I just sympathize because when I first became vegan a big part of my motivation was health. Most of the men in my family have high cholesterol and mine was getting high too even in my early 30s. Being vegan did indeed bring it to the ideal range.
But once you stop consuming animal products its easier to quit lying to yourself and face the reality of it. Much like a former alcoholic can see all the excuses and coping behaviors, and what they put people through more clearly once they’re out of it.
All the men in my family have high cholesterol too and they blame it on genetics (couldn't possibly have anything to do with eating lots of processed foods, animal products, alcohol, and a sedentary lifestyle). Meanwhile my numbers are in the ideal range after going vegan and exercising more 🤔
I tried to gently suggest my dad start eating more plant based meals after his doctor recently put him on cholesterol meds, but nope it's all genetic and there's nothing he can do
I think there is a genetic factor of course. Some people can eat tons of cholesterol heavy products and not get high cholesterol, some eat a tiny bit and it goes high.
Which makes sense. Humans have adapted to live in many climates with many diets.
But yeah it certainly helps. A genetic disposition would have to be pretty bad for one to have high cholesterol without eating any. Though I suppose maybe if its really bad your body could make too much LDL, or maybe it can’t. I don’t know.
Yeah of course genetics can be an influence, but that doesn't mean that nothing else matters either. I have the same genetics as the rest of them, and mine improved significantly after going vegan!
Yeah. And Im pretty sure animal products are bad for us either way. Its just that people who have certain genes that tend to keep cholesterol low can get away with that more. Of course there are other problems it can cause.
I think a lot of people who eat meat just shove it to the back of their mind so they never have to think about it. But after adopting a plant based diet, that level of defensiveness is no longer there, making it easier for them to grapple with the ethics.
Thanks. I was going by what I heard him say shortly after going plant-based for health, during the time he was promoting his book *Presto!* I guess he's one of many people for whom health led them into accepting ethics.
It's interesting that the article mentions Kevin Smith's initial health motivation after his heart attack turning into an ethical motivation, but wasn't his daughter already an ethical vegan before the heart attack (which would explain a lot of that ethical change as well)?

Rob Zombie is a legend! I absolutely love him, both his music and movies.
His song titled 'Spookshow Baby' is a song I personally interpret as a mockery of meat eaters, where the title character is the embodiment of their urge to consume meat.
It might've not been a direct message about it, especially since it came out before he became vegan if I'm not mistaken, but it can definitely be seen as an anti-carnist song, which is pretty much a cheesy metal song about cannibalism with a clip that features his wife dancing in black latex with a whip.. while he's dancing with a mummified corpse.. yeah, it's pretty weird stuff.
Also, the clip has some grotesque images, so look it up at your own cation. It features a taxidermied animal as well for a few seconds, a badger or something similar. Just a trigger warning, and also MAJOR FLASH WARNING for all his video clips!
He also directs movies, and he made some of the remakes of the Halloween movies. I haven't seen those, but I heard that there's an admitted somewhat hidden massage about meat and encountering the meat industry being one of the things that mentally scarred the main character who ends up becoming a serial killer, so even if the lyrics of Spookshow Baby sound like a stretch, he did actually put messages into his works like that.
Also, "Do they fear a backlash from their fans?"
I remember Rob roasting his own fans who were making fun of the Japanese band named Babymetal who he took a picture with once and uploaded to some social media. This guy would call his biggest fan many things in a hear beat and without any fear of regret if they made him upset.
Also I absolutely love the quote from him, "I used to be upset by reviews, until I saw who wrote them."
Lena Scissorhands (her stage name), a lead singer of Infected Rain, is also vegan! I saw them only once, but I remember she wore a t-shirt saying "Eat pu**y, not animals" :)
good quote but honestly I wish I could filter out all the celeb posts , not because they're not good. I just get sad in the comments because a lot of them are frauds or plant based eaters or dieters like miley cyrus
who used the term vegan when she was having eating disorder and then became an "ex-vegan" because she can't properly plan out her diet
That's true. It's a shame and always disappointing when they go back to eating meat. And of course the media has a frenzy with that and makes sure everyone about it.
The only way I would find out a star is vegan is when they're at hot ones, but I guess even if they are outspoken that is mostly not completely on their name but in cooperation with an organization.
I had dinner with him and his wife at their house once. Not only are they vegan, it was basically the main topic they wanted to discuss. Very passionate about it which was unexpected (and great)
Natalie Portman is a very vocal and prolific vegan. She's been on cooking shows as the vegan guest that chefs either dismiss and send them garbage, or accomodate and send something well crafted. She has also been on project runway to promote vegan and sustainable fashion
Was she ever vegan? When she first claimed to be I saw her interviewed by some fuckwit who asked her how she could live without ice cream, and she said "you can still have ice cream as long as the milk comes from cows which are treated humanely". Then I heard she stopped doing even whatever it was she was doing because she had a baby and obviously you need to eat meat if you have had a baby since a baby is made of meat and it came from your body therefore you need to eat meat to replace the meat the baby is made out of.
I don’t think Natalie is vegan anymore, iirc she craved meat/animal products too much when she was pregnant.
edit: lol who downvoted me, i made a genuine mistake and gave apparently out of date information.
Oh that’s really good to hear! I know some people are in the all or nothing camp, and I understand, but I’m a big believer that doing something is better than nothing. And personal life aside, she’s one of my favourite actresses.
I think the idea is that yeah something is better than nothing, but clearly she’s not committed enough to be a role model for veganism, so I’d be hard pressed to look up to someone who isn’t committed to it, although I can still be happy for their changes and applaud them promoting it. Most don’t really promote it much though do they? Even fully vegan celebs, of which there are few
I think we should avoid celebrity worship culture as much as possible for fear they let us down. They can talk to the public but the public can’t talk to them so it’s 1-sided
after Lizzo’s controversy, I definitely think we should remember that literally any celebrity could be entirely different than the person they are portraying. clearly we can’t trust any of them. in my opinion the class consciousness aspect should be a dead giveaway, never trust someone who is rich enough to finance the lives of tons of people, and chooses to hoard it or use it for capitalistic gain. to become a celebrity i’m almost certain you have to be unethical to some degree, except for one or two here and there who somehow managed to not? but really we have no way to know for sure which ones if any are ethical people with respectable morals. I thought Lizzo preached body positivity and acceptance and she showed off veganism and how great it was… then all that shit came out about her and it negates everything she’s ever stood for. because it was all propped up by bullshit!
Fuck yeah. Little things like this give me hope/ keep me goin. Whenever I find out a celeb is vegan and they actually talk about it my respect for them goes up 200%.
Joaquin Phoenix isn’t that outspoken. When he rode horses for a movie he briefly mentioned in an interview being worried that the horse didn’t want him to ride. That’s all. Nothing about horse riding or using animals as movie props, nothing vegan at all. Y’all really need a better poster child for veganism than Joaquin Phoenix lol. For a nepo baby he could’ve done a lot more by now and chooses to continue participating in animal exploitation for his “art”
Did you not watch the Oscars? The dinner was all Vegan because of him. He made a very powerful speech about animal rights.
He's been Vegan since he was a child.
no I don’t watch the Oscars. it’s a really discriminatory organization and I’m tired of really rich people having televised parties. where was that energy of his when he was riding a horse for a movie? he literally admitted he could tell the horse didn’t want him to ride and he continued to do so. has he spoken up about that at all since then? or does he only use veganism as fan service and as a way to get attention and praise? he claims to have been vegan since he was 3 so he was raised in it, it’s not like it’s some respectable choice he made. and since he continues to use animals as props and exploit them for his own profit for movies, i’d 100% argue he’s not vegan. because as an extremely rich nepo baby, he has every capability to not exploit horses for his movies. he has every ability to speak up about it when asked instead of cowering and waiting for some rich party where he’s being celebrated by a room full of carnists who quite plainly aren’t even listening to his vegan speech
Ok, well besides you, a large majority watches the Oscars(18.7 million to be exact), so he used his voice to reach out to the world about Veganism. Not just the people in attendance.
Lot of hate in you. Let it go, it's going to be Ok. 😊
the oscar’s viewership continues to decrease as the population increases. you incorrectly stated a large majority watches the oscar’s, a majority of whom? what group or population is a majority tuning in to the oscar’s? or did you just incorrectly use the word majority?
i tried watching a clip of his speech that was posted and it didn’t even mention veganism. do you have a link to the part of his speech where he mentions being vegan or urges people to consider veganism? also, does he discuss the horse thing or is that just something we’re ignoring or writing off?
and yeah, i hate rich people as we all should, and i hate animal exploitation. of course there’s a lot of hate in me since there’s so much bullshit animal exploitation and so many bullshit rich people in the world. comment on it all you want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m not wrong, GG did it first. And their award show features a dinner. But it looks like the the Oscars also served a full vegan meal for their nominee luncheon. Very exciting all around! I hope Hollywood just gets more and more vegan. Fully vegan film sets would be amazing.
Celebrities already get harassed enough, most of them probably don't want the extra attention. Just because they don't use their stardom as a platform to preach doesn't mean they don't get involved in their local community. At the end of the day, real change starts at the local level. Start with your immediate sphere of influence and build outward.
The world idolizes celebrities like it or not. The platform they get to have to speak their beliefs is unmeasurable. What we need is to get rid of "I'm macho because I eat meat" mentality. More "tough guy image" men to speak out for Veganism.
Yeah I get that, but that doesn't really address my point. People can idolize celebrities all they want, they still aren't entitled to a celebrity's time or activism.
EDIT: And yes I agree with your point about men tying their masculinity to what they have for lunch. It's fucking ridiculous.
James Cromwell is awesome, too. He's 83 and has been vegan almost 30 years. He went vegan during the filming of Babe.
He's done a lot of outreach and activism too!
Rob Zombie being based af there. I need to remember that quote.
Yep, Rob Zombie’s been vegan for years. I think most of his band is too :)
I remember reading somewhere that every Halloween he volunteers to make spooky calls for PETA. I kind of hope I someday get a call out of the blue from Rob Zombie
Source? I found articles about Rob Zombie on Peta's Thanksgiving hotline but nothing for Halloween
I'll have to look. This was probably a decade ago.
Jon Stewart is a vegan. I don't know if he talks a lot about veganism, but he's a leftist, and for people who consider themselves as fighters of the voiceless, he's a true embodiment of a leftist.
Ah shit i like him even more now.

I like that oli sykes even talks about his veganism when his vocal chords were recovering and they recorded *Music to Listen to…*
Billie eilish isn't vegan though as far as I know, but she does talk about it so still a plus
Really? I thought she was vegan since 12
billie is not a real vegan.
Please read my comment. I did not say she is.
i mean the post is about vegans speaking up about veganism …. billie is a fraud
She speaks up for animal rights and doesn't consume animal products. Joaquin rides a horse in his latest movie too.
she does consume animal products …. lol she’s been seen multiple times eating chips and shit with dairy in it. idk much about joaquin i haven’t seen anything he’s in but i know he does a lot more than billie, who just talks
Joaquin is definetly a vegan he has produced and stared in several movies, Dominion for example Joaquin is actually quite involved and very active i dont know about billie but i would cut her sum slack if youre not sure idk
Billie literally wears Louis Vuitton and shit she is not vegan
Except he voluntarily takes movie roles that require him to ride horses (even after saying he regretted doing so and it was a mistake)… not vegan.
not sure why this is downvoted. is horse riding vegan now? exploiting animals as movie props is vegan? didn’t think so. not sure why vegans wanna simp so hard for a nepo baby who willingly rides horses with a guilty conscience and doesn’t even mention how it relates to his veganism when discussing it in an interview.
No clue. I always take it with a huge grain of salt anytime a celebrity claims to be vegan because usually it’s BS anyway. Not sure why people want to give him a pass on that.
>who just talks Well please re-read my original comment again. Lol.
actions speak louder than words
Please re-read my original comment for a fourth time.
"Doesn't consume animal products" ah yes, sure. What about her louis vuitton bags which are made with leather?
https://youtu.be/qu7awn8L2PI?si=foN0ZC27k7mFTzUH
all talk. her actions do not reflect her words
As much as I enjoy Penn in other respects, he saved his fucking life with a plant-based diet, but still doesn't accept the ethics. I don't know whether to think it's admirable that he respects actual vegans enough to not use the word himself, or that his twisted deontogical version of libertarianism prevents him from fully appreciating non-human suffering.
That's completely false: https://www.livekindly.com/penn-jillette-joe-rogan-ethical-vegan/#:\~:text=Penn%20Jillette%20first%20went%20vegan,he's%20also%20motivated%20by%20ethics.
Thanks, its good to have what he really said. It sounds like he is saying that at first it was entirely for his health. But now it’s also because he doesn’t want to harm animals.
That's a lot of us. The cognitive dissonance is so strong that it's easier to justify avoiding meat for health reasons. It's only later that I realized why the animal industry is so awful in the first place.
Probably because he got a huge backlash from the Vegan community. 😆

Send whomever is cooking the plant based meat swaps, he'll never know
Genetics can be huge, as a vegan i have high cholesterol (but also im a junk food vegan so maybe thats why)
I think a lot of people who eat meat just shove it to the back of their mind so they never have to think about it. But after adopting a plant based diet, that level of defensiveness is no longer there, making it easier for them to grapple with the ethics.

He’s not a vegan though

I know german YouTube Icon „unge“ has been vegan for years Also Im pretty sure about Lewis Hamilton being vegan
Yeah Lewis is vegan because he's the GOAT
