Bryan Adams says being sexy is the most important aspect of animal activism.

“Being sexy helps when you’re trying to do anything!” the Canadian rocker told Metro News. “Seriously, that is all PR nonsense,” Adams said of the famous annual PETA lists. “What’s important is getting people involved in helping the cause, so if that is what it takes, fine.”

His good lucks may or may not have helped him in numerous campaigns, including Japanese whale hunting and asking KFC to slaughter chickens in an approve more humane way.

But when it came to distributing postcards at his concerts that urged countries to create a sanctuary for Southern Antarctic Whales, a pretty face only went so far.

“We distributed postcards at my concerts in order to persuade countries supporting the whaling industry to vote yes to the sanctuary. We succeeded and had lots of fun doing it. But in one case, the government of a small Polynesian island wrote back pleading with us not to send anymore postcards, because they couldn’t handle the volume.”

These days Canadian rock star Bryan Adams is a vegan who juices regularly and is into raw foods.

But years ago, when he lived in Vancouver, he would frequent a pizza place called Lombardo’s Pizzeria & Ristorante, where he would order what he called “the best pizza in the world.”

“Bryan Adams lives in London now, but he used to come all the time,” Patti Lombardo says. “He used to come Tuesday or Wednesday evening at about 10 p.m., when there were no crowds to bother him. He’s a vegetarian, so he would get a mushroom pizza. He’d sit there and go, ‘You know what? This is the best pizza in the world.’ ”

Lombardo’s is known for its wood-oven-fired pizza and features several pizzas, calzones, and pasta dishes that are vegetarian on the menu.

Like, fed to the tune of 100 pounds of mixed greens. Actually, Bryan will probably just have a nice helping of them that fills up a salad bowl or two, but hey, who’s to say he might not be really hungry on the evening of the Juno Awards banquet.

The Juno Awards highlight Canada’s best music performing artists. Besides the actual award ceremony taking place on March 29th, many “Juno” activities will be happening in the host city of Vancouver, including a dinner gala where hundreds of hungry musicians will meet up at Westin Bayshore Hotel for a dinner for the stars.

Celebs such as Sarah McLachlan, Nickelback, and vegan rocker Bryan Adams are expected  to be present. And it looks like Bryan will have a lot to chow down on.

“[In terms of] salad, we’ll probably go through almost 100 pounds of mixed greens,” said Executive Chef Kevin Doucette.

But that doesn’t mean Bryan will be munching like a rabbit for the big night, as they’ll be plenty of veg dishes to choose from.

Melanie Berry, president of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), which organizes the Junos, said, “There’s a fairly good number of vegetarians, too, so we want to sample those dishes because they are just so important.”

Not only that, Chef Doucette is thrilled to cook up meatless entrees. 

“Coming up with vegetarian dishes is more exciting than anything,” he said. “It’s not on the set menu. It has to be fresh. And it changes all the time.”
