10 Celebrities Who Adopted a New Lifestyle and Said Goodbye to Meat

Nowadays, there’s more awareness about the environment and the animals that inhabit our planet, so people are starting to adopt a more responsible lifestyle. Among them, we can find worldwide famous celebrities who, for different reasons, have decided to embrace a diet based on the consumption of plants and products that do not come from the animal world.

1. Kate Winslet

Being a vegetarian, this Hollywood star believes that the best way to stay beautiful, healthy, and young is to drink green juices since they contain a great number of nutrients. That’s why her fridge is always packed with leafy foods and other vegetables.

She has also mentioned that she’s had fun changing her diet, as she was able to get a little more creative with food.

2. Brad Pitt

In an interview, the American actor revealed that he prefers a vegan diet. He believes that everyone can adopt this lifestyle, while “not everyone likes to eat a piece of meat.” He finds it very strange to see people consuming foods of animal origin such as fish.

3. Benedict Cumberbatch

The British actor, known for playing Doctor Strange, has opened up about his eating habits and his preference for a vegan diet based entirely on the consumption of plant-based products.

In addition to this, Benedict modeled for an animal-free luxury goods brand and wore vegan leather boots and “wool of the future” garments.

4. Juanes

The Colombian musician became a vegetarian in 2015. In an interview, he said that his children still eat white meat, but he only eats cheese and eggs. However, he wants to teach his children how to have a better relationship with food.

He also mentioned that, after changing his diet, he began to feel more energetic, especially after giving up sugars and soft drinks, although there are foods he still cannot resist.

5. Woody Harrelson

Woody is not only a vegan but an activist as well. In 2020, he was part of Kiss the Ground, a documentary about climate change and the effects of animal agriculture on the soil, and how our way of eating could help reverse this damage by choosing to grow plant foods instead of consuming animal products.

6. Claudia Lizaldi

8. Sandra Oh

In 2008, the actress decided to convert the rest of the cast of Grey’s Anatomy to veganism by taking her colleagues to a vegan restaurant in Hollywood.
