Longtime environmental activist and actor Ed Begley Jr. continued an Oscars tradition with his daughter Hayden Carson Begley. On Sunday, the father-daughter duo took the subway train to the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. After arriving at the Oscars' red carpet, they put their transit cars on full display - a photo of which has taken the internet by storm.
According to HuffPost, the actor and his daughter walked from a nearby station to the Oscars, as the station under the venue is typically closed for the ceremony. “My daughter, @HaydenBegley is the real champion…walking down Hollywood Boulevard in her heels!” Mr Begley tweeted on Sunday while responding to a post calling him a “legend” for taking a subway to the venue.
Notably, in previous years, Mr Begley also found other alternatives to using limos to attend the academy awards. In 2020, he shared how he used a solar-charged electric vehicle to attend the Oscars in 2020. “At the @Oscars2020_ Came in my solar charged EV. Rachelle wasn't up for the subway. Next year!” he tweeted.
In 2018, the American actor shared a photo of himself with his daughter and said, “Taking the subway to the @TheAcademy Awards this year w daughter @HaydenBegley ...just like we did in 2014.”
In 2015, Mr Begley rode his bike to the award function while dressed up in his suit and bow tie. Never mind the rain. I'm riding my bike to the @TheAcademy Awards. Pardon the helmet hair,” he wrote on Twitter while sharing a picture of himself sitting on the bike.

“I love that Ed Begley takes transit to the Oscars every year,” commented a third. “I love this tradition,” added a fourth.
