He did it again. After his speech at the Golden Globes, Joaquin Phoenix took advantage of his Oscar for best actor to deliver a plea against injustice and the exploitation of animals and the planet.

"I am overflowing with gratitude," he said, visibly moved, when he received the precious statuette. “I think a lot about some of the alarming questions we face collectively. I think sometimes we feel, or we are made to feel, that we defend different causes, but I see a community of points of view. Whether we are talking about gender inequality or racism or the rights of LGBT people, indigenous people or animals, we are talking about the fight against injustice, "he said.

Longtime vegan

"I think we have become very disconnected from nature, and many of us are guilty of an egocentric view of the world," insisted the longtime vegan. “We have given ourselves the right to artificially inseminate a cow, when she gives birth, we steal her baby despite her cries of anguish. And then we take their milk which was intended for their young, and put it in our coffee and our cereals. "

Joaquin Phoenix took the opportunity to make amends. "In my life, I have been a scoundrel," said the 45-year-old actor. "I was selfish, I was cruel at times, painful at work (...) but so many of you gave me a second chance. "And I think this is where we are at our best," he continued. “Not when we disown each other for past mistakes. "Strangling a sob, he ended by quoting his brother River, a talented actor who died tragically from an overdose at 23 years old, in 1993:" Run to the rescue with love, and peace will follow ".
