The renowned actor Robert Downey, who represents Ironman in the Marvel saga, has shown his most altruistic side by demonstrating his tender and true love for animals.
For him it will not have been a difficult role at all, since the subject of talking with them in his daily life is not a fiction, since several rescued animals of various species live in his house in Malibu.
Downey and his wife Susan rescued two cats that from the first moment became a member of their family.
Monty and D’Artagnan are the names of the two felines that were taken in by the famous Hollywood actor.
The Ironman actor confessed that he cannot conceive of his life without the animals he has rescued
In the year 2017, he rescued Moly, a black cat who needed the opportunity of a warm home where he was offered protection and love, after facing a harsh past.
Moly is nice and friendly, he has always been pleased to have the affection of his family that loves him so much.
Regarding D’Artagnan, Susan commented that he is a cat that is sometimes difficult to understand, so it is difficult for them to know if he is happy or in a bad mood.
Robert confessed that he initially refused to adopt rescued animals because he was very sad about the situation they faced, but he couldn’t resist taking them in forever.
Now he says he couldn’t live without them.
In addition to cats and dogs, there are also alpacas in the Downey house, who have taken them in after hard pasts and live as pampered pets.
The actor’s mansion has several large green areas where animals enjoy as if they were in their natural habitat.
The house has given much to talk about for being built with a theme of sustainable architecture, where goats, chickens, pigs and even cows cohabit.
Robert Downey announced that he adopted a plant-based diet after becoming aware of the unfair treatment of animals.
During the premiere of the movie Dolittle, he expressed his admiration for his wife’s talent as a producer and commented:
“She’s the most amazing creative producer in movie history, and I make faces for money and chicken, but no, I do n’t eat chicken anymore . I am adopting a plant-based diet,” she said.
The actor created the foundation called The Footprint Coalition, with the aim of merging robotics and nanotechnology to clean the planet.
Your decision to adopt a vegan diet will contribute to this end because the livestock industry is one of the largest generators of plastic waste in the oceans and promotes climate change.
Actress Ruby Rose , who represented Batwoman in DC’s Arrowverse, is also in favor of defending the planet and the animals.
He jumped on the trend of adopting a vegan lifestyle when he learned about the unfair treatment suffered by the animals we consume.
“I frequently ate something called ‘shark fin soup’ and I didn’t know. I asked my mom if that was made from a real shark fin and she said, ‘Oh no, honey, of course not.’ After discovering that it was, I became very sad, I cried for three weeks.
It seemed even worse to me that they only cut off the fins of the sharks and that they are there without being able to move. That really scared me, I used to have nightmares that they were in the ocean with no fins and I couldn’t eat any fish anymore.”
The followers of Robert Downey and all the real-life heroes who join the fight for the defense of animals and our planet applaud his initiatives that inspire others to work for the same cause.
