Jeff<\/strong> noted that his character does some \u201cvery cruel things\u201d like instigating and facilitating animal cruelty along with persecuting munchkins and spreading propaganda about Elphaba. The animal cruelty aspect is a significant catalyst for both the Wizard and Elphaba\u2019s arc in the movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Jon Chu<\/strong><\/a> [is] amazing. It\u2019s changed me,\u201d he told the hosts. \u201cYou know, after doing this movie, we talked about the animal cruelty, I stopped eating meat and poultry,\u201d he told the hosts.<\/p>\n

Then he joked about how this holiday season will be a little different for him since he won\u2019t be eating turkey on Thanksgiving or Christmas. <\/p>\n
