He tells Sky News 'people are not in a panic in the way they should be' over climate change as he joins animal rights activists.

"This is an emergency. We have to do everything we can to try to cut down our impact on climate change."

Phoenix also responded to mounting criticism that people in glamour-filled industries, like top actors, are not in a position to preach about climate change because they live in a world of frequent flights and high carbon footprints. He said:"We are all hypocrites in some ways. We all struggle with what the right thing to do is and we make mistakes."The industry does consume a lot of power and a lot of resources so the way to mitigate that for me is to maintain a vegan lifestyle."

Phoenix convinced the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organisation that runs the Golden Globes, to serve its first all-vegan menu at the ceremony's star-studded dinner last month. He said:"I think that is part of our appeal to the award ceremonies because there are so many people flying in to the awards and the cars they use - the one thing they can do is to make the meal plant-based.

No, I enjoy a meal far better when there’s a dead animal on my plate

Ma fatti i cazzi tuoi

Looks like he's been brought up on a diet of burgers, so...get stuffed.

Yawn.

I love my meat 😉

How about no, I'm British and it's a farming country, I live in Wales and see where my eggs, chickens, lamb and beef etc actually lived sometimes 🥳🥳 so no cuz I buy home grown produce, I don't eat meat everyday, I think that's an equal balance 🤠😁

🤮

Ok if you say so 🤣

If we are not meant to eat animals why are they made of meat 🤔🍖 🥩 🍗 Vegans

Let’s all go vegan & once we have all the worlds farmers will take the millions & millions of cows pigs chickens ducks ‘ & give them names & buy fluffy beds for them to sleep in while they patiently wait for them all to die of natural causes peacefully in their sleep awww!

Looks like Glenn McCrory

I always have my 5 a day..portions of yummy meat that is!!!

I’m half vegetarian, I only eat animals that eat grass

🖕

Love this Man 💙

Joaquin Phoenix should mind his own business.

I like the idea if veganism. But I enjoy eating meat too much. That's my choice. It doesn't in any way shape or form mean I support the mistreatment of animals and other livestock.

More Palm oil. that's all we need.

It is your way of life and i respect that, but please dont force your way of life on me, i will continue to eat meat, that is all.

Yes please more meat for me I’ll never stop even if I got to catch the animal myself

Yes cause yourself long term health problems by robbing yourself of B12 and other important nutrients.

Having steak tonight so no from me

Well... he doesn’t look all that healthy now does he He must eat a lot of rubbish?! Also don’t forget if your a complete vegan you can’t get all omega 3 probably!!

He flew in first class.. and then a private taxi.. Just to tell everyone else to go vegan.. Do as I say... not as I do..

Joaquin Phoenix can suck a dick bro

Fine for you, keep your opinions to yourself, it’s personal choice

If I wanted advise off of you it would be about acting.

why can't they ever just stfu and act

Good for you if you want to go vegan, you got to try it at some point I guess. How about you lay off the people who don’t want to try it? Ta.

I remember when Ronald Reagan made the claim that cow farts impacted climate change and he was ridiculed mercilessly by the media.

With a Tomahawk steak on the side

Not a chance

No thanks. Sorry my roast Beef dinner is going cold. 🐂

Why do people keep having to push their views on other these days? Why can't people just keep their opinions to themselves anymore? These vegans slamming their agenda on everyone all the time are just awful. 🤡

Where the fucks your tuxedo son? Ruining the planet by wearing more than one outfit. Disgraceful!!

Only if vegan means eating meat.

Only when I'm asleep

Nah!

Good of him to fly over to tell us this

I do like vegetables but Sorry mate I love my meat. Humans have been eating meat for thousands of years.
