‘Succession’ Star Superglues Himself to Starbucks Counter in Vegan Protest

He accused the coffee chain of discriminating “against those who can’t have dairy” by charging them more.

Actor James Cromwell superglued his hand to a Starbucks counter in Manhattan on Tuesday in a dramatic protest against the coffee chain “punishing” customers who want milk alternatives like oat or almond milk. “My friends at PETA and I are calling on Starbucks to stop punishing kind and environmentally conscious customers for choosing plant milks,” the Succession star said in a Facebook livestream, accusing the company of discriminating “against those who can’t have dairy” by charging them more. “We all have a stake in the life-and-death matter of the climate catastrophe, and Starbucks should do its part by ending its vegan up-charge,” he said. The 82-year-old actor, donning a “Free the Animals” T-shirt, ultimately wound up prying his hand from the counter with the help of a knife after cops arrived. The store was reportedly shut down temporarily amid the commotion.
