Ricky Gervais admitted to feeling "hypocritical" before going vegan a few years ago. The comedian, known for his advocacy for animal rights, explained that he felt it was inconsistent to save dogs while consuming other animals like sheep. Gervais has been a long-time supporter of animal charities and has received awards for his contributions to animal welfare from organizations like PETA and the Humane Society.

Even before adopting a vegan lifestyle, Gervais was outspoken about his beliefs in animal rights. Last year, he donated a significant portion of ticket sales from his stand-up tour to animal charities, demonstrating his commitment to protecting animals. Using his platform on social media and in media appearances, Gervais continues to speak up for animal rights and advocate for compassion towards all living beings.
