Recently, the vegetarian movement has become more and more popular.
And although such nutrition has its obvious advantages and disadvantages, among the stars of Hollywood vegetarian and in some cases even more strict vegan cuisine has a lot of supporters. It is about such celebrities that will be discussed.
10. Olivia Wilde
Born Olivia Coburn, known professionally as Olivia Wilde, took a stage name in honor of her beloved writer Oscar Wilde.
From 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 the volunteer activities in her city, gladly helping stray dogs and cats in a local shelter.
Having matured and became famous, the actress began to actively advocate for animal rights and feminism. Olivia is a convinced vegan and promotes an ethical attitude towards animals.
9. Tom Cruise
The star of the spy militants is not without reason looking so good, despite the fact that he has already exchanged the fifth dozen.
In addition to the sport that Tom has always respected, at thirty-five he became a follower of the Church of Scientology, which, among other things, recommended a vegetarian diet.
Eliminating most animal products from the diet, Cruz gradually accustomed his entire family to such a diet and has been an exemplary vegetarian for twenty years.
8. Jennifer Lopez
The famous singer and actress grew up in a very religious family, which, according to her own statement, had a greater impact on the character of the girl.
Due to the difficult financial situation, Jennifer tried many works, until, by a happy coincidence, she came across an agent at a recording studio.
After signing the contract and the dizzying success of the first single of the singer, Lopez ceased to need money and one of the priority areas began to consider helping animals and promoting vegetarianism.
7. Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin made the decision to become a vegan at the age of three, when, when he was fishing with his father, he witnessed how the caught fish beat against the bottom of the boat. This incident was so shocking and impressed the future actor, that he immediately after returning home announced that he was becoming a vegan.
Already an adult and a man of his own, Joaquin did not break his promise. Moreover, he is an active member of the animal welfare community and uses clothing made only from artificial materials, saying that fur and leather are barbaric and will soon become obsolete.
6. Alicia Silverstone
Popularity for this actress came after the release of the movie “Stupid”. And although, according to the plot of the film, the girl did not differ in special intelligence and responsibility, in real life Silverstone is very different from her on-screen image.
This is manifested not only in relation to the actress's life, but also in taking care of her own health.
Since childhood, Alicia did not differ in 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. Brad Pitt
Repeatedly awarded the title of Hollywood's sexiest actor, 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.
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 many seemed impossible without eating meat, his new diet had only a positive effect, thereby completely convincing the actor of the correctness of the decision.
4. Demi Moore
The ex-wife of Bruce Willis and just the beautiful Demi Moore has been on a strict diet for thirty years.
As a well-known human rights activist and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, the actress also fights for animal rights. This ultimately pushed her to vegetarianism.
Realizing the undoubted benefits not only for the body, but also for protecting our smaller brothers, Moore decided to become a vegan, completely eliminating all animal products, but during childbirth she returned to vegetarianism, starting to observe 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 classes at the farm, and after spending a long time near the animals, in the end was imbued with compassion.
Already in college, Harelson became a supporter of veganism and for many years did not change his principles.
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.
2. Natalie Portman
Having played the killer’s girlfriend in the action movie Luke Besson “Leon” at a very young age, Natalie Portman rightfully takes 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 global wildlife conservation forums, Portman advocates banning the use of our smaller brothers in laboratory experiments.
Transferring 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 negatively affect her health, and abandoned this venture.
1. Toby Maguire
The well-known first performer of the role of Spider-man on large screens, Toby Maguire from a teenage age became interested in vegetarianism.
And although he did not find support for this issue in the family, 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 due not only to the actor’s healthy lifestyle, but also to his diet. It’s not easy that his character in the film advises the children to eat more vegetables in order to become strong as a spider-man.
