Going vegan
is more than just a trend – it is a lifestyle change that spans far
beyond your diet. Veganism is a commitment to living more
consciously and sustainably in which more and more people are
participating. And that includes some of our favorite celebrities!
Here are some stars who have gone vegan and aren’t turning
back!
1.
Woody Harrelson
Known for his
Southern charm and incredible acting talent, Woody Harrelson is
also a devoted environmentalist and vegan. He has been embracing
this lifestyle for over 30 years now, and many celebrities such as Sadie Sink have credited Harrelson for influencing
them to become vegan! Fun Fact: in his movie Zombieland,
Harrelson’s character has an affinity for Twinkies, but since those
aren’t vegan, he ate faux Twinkies made from cornmeal!
2.
Billie Eilish
It is perhaps
not too surprising that Billie Eilish follows a vegan diet, given
that she was raised as a vegetarian. The singer has explained that
her love for animals is too strong to eat them, which is why she
switched to a full vegan diet at only 12 years old. She regularly
uses her platform and social media to advocate for animal rights
and shine light on animal agriculture. Well done!
3.
Lewis Hamilton
On the track,
Lewis Hamilton is breaking F1 records for Mercedes. In private, he
is living consciously with a vegan diet. The race driver has been a
vegan since 2017, partly to boost his athletic performance and
partly to help the environment. He has even opened his own vegan
burger chain called Neat Burger in an effort to make the fast food
industry a greener place. But that’s not all – even his bulldog
Roscoe is embracing a vegan diet, which Hamilton claims makes
Roscoe act like a puppy again!
4.
Rainn Wilson
In “The
Office”, Rainn Wilson played Dwight Shrute, one of the most
meat-loving characters we’ve ever seen on TV. Ironically, Wilson
himself is an animal-loving vegan in real life! The actor has two
rescue pigs at home – Snortington and Amy – and said that he simply
loves the two of them more than eating bacon. Apart from sparing
the lives of countless animals, Rainn Wilson has also noted other
benefits of his vegan lifestyle. The actor said that he feels a lot
more energized during the day and sleeps better and deeper during
the night! Sounds like a win-win to us!
5.
Joaquin Phoenix
The role of
the Joker is regarded as both a challenge and honor for any actor
to act. There are certainly high expectations around such a
legendary character, but Joaquin Phoenix lived up to them, earning
him an Oscar for Best Actor in 2019. But it is not only his
performance that made headlines. During his acceptance speech,
Phoenix left everyone stunned with his harsh critique on the cruel
dairy industry. He urged people to adopt to a vegan lifestyle and
spare innocent animals unnecessary harm. He warns that, “We have
become very disconnected from the natural world.” What a great way
to use one’s platform for good!
