Extinction Rebellion Protester Dressed As A Broccoli Has Morning Show Hosts Scratching Their Heads During Bizarre Interview

Extinction Rebellion Protester Dressed As A Broccoli Has Morning Show Hosts Scratching Their Heads During Bizarre Interview

Here's something I thought I'd never say. A man dressed as a vegetable, known only as Mr. Broccoli, has been interviewed on ITV's Good Morning Britain.


The man, who was wearing green face-paint and a broccoli floret-style head-dress, is part of the Animal Rebellion movement, an offshoot of environmental group Extinction Rebellion.

Mr. Broccoli was arrested on Sunday as part of environmental protests in London, and appeared on the show to promote a plant-based diet.

“I want people to feel like they can come and take part in this protest," he said.

“You don't know the science," Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan criticized the protester.

Mr. Broccoli then picked up a banana and held it to his ear, pretending he had “a call."

Viewers reacted to the interview using the hashtag #MrBroccoli, with some more keen on the vegetable-themed protester than others.

Twitter user Joe Rush said that the interview was the “best thing" he had seen on television.

Elliott Wright of The Only Way Is Essex said that Mr. Broccoli was a “moron," and that show host Piers Morgan should have “served him up on a plate."

Many social media users agreed that watching the segment was a strange way to wake up in the morning.

Mr. Broccoli was arrested in connection to Extinction Rebellion protests in London on Sunday.

A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police said they could not comment on individual arrest cases.

More than 1,300 people have already been arrested in the protests, part of an “international rebellion" with action taking place in cities around the world.

Extinction Rebellion said dozens of activists are expected to appear in court this week, including trials connected with previous action in April.

The Queen went viral last week after she turned toward news reporters' cameras and twisted her mouth to resemble Trump's speaking style while Trump was in conversation with her and her husband King Willem-Alexander at the Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague, where world leaders were gathered for the NATO summit.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
