Joaquin Phoenix Urges People To 'Go Vegan' Ahead of BAFTAs 2020 Win!

Joaquin Phoenix wants people to “go vegan”!

Hours before hitting the red carpet at the 2020 EE British Academy Film Awards on Sunday (February 2), the 45-year-old Joker star took part in an Animal Equality UK Protest supporting the unfurling of a banner on Tower Bridge in central London.

Joaquin Phoenix gathered activists for a protest where he dropped a 390-square-foot banner from Tower Bridge that declared: “Factory farming destroys our planet. Go vegan,” (via The Guardian).

Joaquin attended the protest in support of Animal Equality, an international organisation that works with society, governments and companies to try and end cruelty to farmed animals.

Joaquin gave a speech calling out the lack of diversity at the 2020 BAFTAs after the awards ceremony made headlines for its nearly all-white nominees.
