In a shocking discovery by social media users, Vanity Fair Magazine is under fire for allegedly editing out an actor’s pro-Palestine pin at the 2024 Cannes Flim Festival causing outrage among human rights activists and users alike.
The individual in question is Australian actor Guy Pearce, best known for starring in movies including Memento, Marvel’s Iron Man 3, Prometheus, The King’s Speech, and many more. The pro-Palestine pin featured the red, black, green, and white Palestinian flag which the magazine later photoshopped.

Users across social media took to multiple comment sections that covered the news as they called Vanity Fair a bunch of “Hypocrites” and “Heartless” for censoring the actor after risking his employment and career for the sake of speaking up for the Palestinians during the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, that resulted in the killing of at least 36,000 people by the time of writing this article.

Here’s what many had to say about Vanity removing Guy Pearce’s pro-Palestine pin through Photoshop:
“But if it was a Ukranian flag, things would’ve been different…hypocrisy out of the galaxy.”
“Vanity Fair Blocked.”
“Yes, Vanity but definitely not Fair.”
A user mentioned that Vanity didn’t remove the Palestinian bracelet the Australian actor was moving and stated, “Well they didn’t get rid of the bracelet💗 screw vanity fair”.
“Useless. Palestine is already in the hearts of millions! No Photoshop can erase Palestine away.”
