“This could change the whole look of New York—the extra five cents,” said actor Justin Long, who attended the event. Long might be best known for his star-turn run in Apple’s “I’m a Mac guy” commercials and roles in comedies such as He’s Just Not That Into You. The actor, however, is also deeply and personally committed to environmentalism. Long regaled guests with his recent adventures rescuing a bale of abandoned baby sea turtles. He raised them for a bit and, safely, released them back into the ocean. “This will help protect the sea turtles,” Long said of the effort to keep plastic waste out of the ocean.
Actor Kate Bosworth, who wore a lace dress by Sea NYC and a pair of flats by Rothy’s, agreed. The two actors, who recently announced their engagement, say a shared interest in global activism and sustainability brought them together. (Long drives an adorably well-used 2007 Prius, and Bosworth has been a day-one supporter of Rothy’s and its sustainability efforts.) “I asked them recently when they were going to restock this pink model—and they were like, we don’t even make those anymore,” Bosworth said of her love for Rothy’s. “That’s how long I’ve been following them.”
The couple lives in Massachusetts, but visit New York often. The couple recognizes that the bill, if passed, would have positive effects that spread out well-beyond New York’s borders. “It’d be such a great thing for plastic waste and reducing it,” Long said. Early on in their courtship, Bosworth asked Long what his biggest romantic dealbreaker would be. His answer? Littering. “He was like, I’d have to break up with you,” Bosworth joked.
