Recently, the vegetarian movement has become more and more popular.
And although there are obvious advantages and disadvantages to such a diet, vegetarian and in some cases even more strict vegan cuisine has a lot of supporters among Hollywood stars. It is about such celebrities and will be discussed.
10 Olivia Wilde
Born Olivia Coburn, known professionally as Olivia Wilde, she adopted her stage name after her favorite author, Oscar Wilde.
Since childhood, the girl was distinguished by a craving for sports and a love for animals. As a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl, Olivia participated in all volunteer activities in her city, happy to help homeless dogs and cats at the local shelter.
Having matured and become famous, the actress began to actively advocate for animal rights and feminism. Olivia is a committed vegan and promotes ethical treatment of animals.
9. Tom Cruise
The spy action movie star looks so good for a reason, despite the fact that he has already exchanged his fifth decade.
In addition to sports, which Tom always respected, at the age of thirty-five he became a follower of the Church of Scientology, which, among other things, recommended a vegetarian diet.
Eliminating most animal products from his diet, Cruz gradually accustomed his entire family to such a diet and has been an exemplary vegetarian for twenty years now.
8. Jennifer Lopez
The famous singer and actress grew up in a very religious family, which, according to her own statement, had a greater influence on the character of the girl.
Due to the difficult financial situation, Jennifer tried many jobs, until, by a happy coincidence, she ran into a recording studio agent.
After signing the contract and the dizzying success of the singer’s first single, Lopez stopped needing money and began to consider helping animals and promoting vegetarianism as one of her priorities.
7. Joaquin phoenix
Joaquin made the decision to become a vegan at the age of three, when, while fishing with his father, he witnessed how the caught fish hit the bottom of the boat. This case shocked and impressed the future actor so much that he immediately upon returning home announced that he was becoming a vegan.
Already an adult and accomplished person, Joaquin did not break his promise. What’s more, he is an active member of the animal welfare community and only wears artificial materials, saying that fur and leather are barbaric and will soon be obsolete.
6. Alicia Silverstone
The popularity of this actress came after the release of the movie “Clueless”. And although, according to the plot of the film, the girl was not distinguished by special intelligence and responsibility, in real life Silverstone is very different from her on-screen image.
This is manifested not only in the attitude of the actress to life, but also in taking care of her own health.
Since childhood, Alicia was not distinguished by good health, so she was forced to pay great attention to nutrition and regimen. As a result, the girl realized that vegetarianism suits her perfectly and has a beneficial effect on the body.
5. Bred Pitt
Repeatedly awarded the title of the sexiest actor in Hollywood, Brad Pitt is also a staunch vegetarian.
Even on the set of the historical blockbuster Troy, he met Eric Bana, who played the role of Hector.
The actors quickly found a common language and soon became bosom friends. It was Eric who persuaded Pitt to become a vegetarian, describing all the advantages of such a diet. And although Brad, on duty, needed to look muscular and fit in the frame, which seemed impossible to many without eating meat, his new diet had only a positive effect, thereby completely convincing the actor of the correctness of the chosen decision.
4. Demmy Moor
The ex-wife of Bruce Willis and simply beautiful Demi Moore has been following a strict diet for thirty years.
As a renowned human rights activist and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, the actress also fights for animal rights. This ultimately led her to become a vegetarian.
Realizing the undoubted benefits not only for the body, but also for the protection of our smaller brothers, Moore decided to become a vegan, completely eliminating all animal products, but during childbirth she returned to vegetarianism again, starting to follow a more sparing diet.
3. Woody Harrelson
Woody Harelson was born into a large family, and his parents divorced when the boy was three years old. At school age, he was forced to earn extra money after school on a farm, and after spending a long time around animals, he eventually developed compassion for them.
Already in college, Harelson became an adherent of veganism and has not changed his principles for many years.
In his own words, he feels great even without eating meat and other products of animal origin, proving by personal example that this does not affect human health in any way.
2. Natalie Portman
Having played the killer’s girlfriend in Luc Besson’s action movie Leon at a very young age, Natalie Portman rightfully occupies an honorable place among the fighters for nature.
It was this fact that led the girl to the realization that vegetarianism is another way to change something in this world. Speaking at world forums dedicated to the protection of wild animals, Portman advocates a ban on the use of our smaller brothers in laboratory experiments.
Having switched her entire family to fruits and vegetables, Natalie decided to go even further and soon became a vegan. However, after a while, she realized that this could adversely affect her health, and abandoned this venture.
1. Toby Maguire
The well-known first performer of the role of Spider-Man on the big screens, Tobey Maguire began to get involved in vegetarianism from adolescence.
And although he did not find support in the family for this issue, this did not prevent the young actor from firmly adhering to his own principles.
At the time of filming the first part of the film, Toby was already twenty-six years old, but he looked much younger than his age. To some extent, this is a merit not only of the actor’s healthy lifestyle, but also of his diet. It is not easy for his character in the film to advise children to eat more vegetables in order to become strong, like Spider-Man.
