Vegan Celebrities? Really? Yes, there are quite a few. Many view celebrities as influencers and trendsetters, so it isn’t surprising that many celebs have decided to say goodbye to animal products. Whether it be for health, environmental or ethical reasons, they’ve made the switch, and you might be surprised at who’s doing it too!
Joaquin Phoenix
Actor Joaquin Phoenix is a vegan and has been since he was three years old. His older sister influenced his choice to be a vegan, who also follows the same dietary lifestyle. He even said that he was tired of eating fish which led him to stop eating meat as well. Aside from being one of the top vegan celebrities, he also works for animal rights.
Natalie Portman
Portman used to be a strict vegan, and she was so dedicated to her diet that she even refused to take her baby photos as a child because of the milk formula being advertised on them. She began eating fish again when she got pregnant with her first child. Portman is an animal rights supporter and even interested in joining PETA for a while.
Jessica Chastain
Actress Jessica Chastain eats vegan food on set because she thinks it’s healthier than other food options. Chastain also follows a strict workout regimen to maintain her figure. She has said that she has never felt better since eating vegan.
Russell Brand
Comedian and actor Russell Brand said that he eats vegan because he needed to keep his strength during long hours of filming for a movie in New Orleans. He continues to eat vegan food because he is deeply dedicated to animal rights.
Tobey Maguire
Tobey Maguire is another celebrity that eats vegan food to keep him fit for his role in Spiderman. His wife also follows a vegan diet, and they both support several charities involved with animal rights. Maguire has been known to call out people on Twitter who are eating meat or fish, making them feel guilty about their dietary choices by saying such things as “you eat her” when referring to fish and other sea creatures.
