After years of on screen acting in major Hollywood films, actor and vegan campaigner Alicia Silverstone has never gone “naked” unless it is for the animals.
In a new campaign for PETA, Alicia Silverstone bares it all and posed nude in only faux leather boots for PETA’s new campaign, in an effort to promote more sustainable, vegan versions of the material.
“If it takes me getting naked for you to care about animals then that is what I’m after,” the Clueless star, 46, said in the campaign video.
“I never, ever, get naked in TV, in film, nothing, never, nope — but I’ve done it for PETA because that’s how much it matters to me,” she explains. “I’d rather go naked than wear animals.”
“There’s this idea that leather is somehow better for the earth but what they don’t realize is the amount of resources – water, food, oil for transport – the amount of energy that goes into making leather is extraordinary. It’s just not sustainable. The Earth can’t handle it,” she refuted.
The former teen idol also posed with a cactus to encourage people to buy different types of vegan leather. Silverstone has been a vegan since 1999 when she was 21 and has continued to extol the meat-free lifestyle.
