Top 8 World’s Most Famous Vegetarians

Some consider the refusal of meat and animal products as another fashionable fiction, and for some, it is a lifestyle. Today we will talk about vegetarians, people who by their example try to convey to others how useful it is for health, and how much can be done in this way for nature. The history of vegetarianism goes back to ancient times.

People who give preference to fruits and vegetables and do not eat meat have existed at all times. This philosophy first spread from ancient India and Greece, and was based on the fact of equality of all living things before the gods. Today vegetarianism is experiencing another peak of popularity, so we are pleased to present you our top 10 stars who voluntarily changed their usual diet to the “green diet”.

Mike Tyson

All fans of the boxing star were surprised when they learned that he is a vegetarian. But he did not think about it at all until the tragedy. In 2009, his 4-year-old daughter died, and it fundamentally changed the life of the celebrity. Michael’s guide to plant-based nutrition was his wife. As a result, the boxer managed to lose more than 60 extra pounds and significantly improve his health.

Brad Pitt

For many years, the dream of millions of women around the world has been trying to be a true vegetarian. True, Brad does not always succeed to the fullest extent. So, the actor admits that he has never been able to give up his favorite pizza, and sometimes allows himself small weaknesses. Pitt’s wife Angelina Jolie many times tried to follow in the footsteps of his favorite, but could not overcome his love for products of animal origin.

Richard Gere

“Green diet” became an integral attribute of the actor’s life when he embraced Buddhism. And it has been exceptionally beneficial to Richard. He feels young and full of vigor. Daily yoga classes and proper nutrition, involving moderate food intake, give Gere energy and well-being. Vegetarianism is not just as a hobby as gambling at  Vave bookie, but it is a philosophy and a way of living.

Paul McCartney

The lead singer of the legendary Beatles decided to change his taste habits thanks to the advice of his wife Linda, who at one time was even engaged in the production of products for vegetarians. Paul and his wife became famous activists among the stars, advocating for the protection of animal rights and banning the use of genetically modified additives. McCartney’s daughter Stella also follows in her parent’s footsteps. Working as a designer, she never used natural fur and leather in her collections.

Natalie Portman

The decision to give up animal products appeared in the actress in childhood, when the girl came with her father to a medical conference, where a live chicken was used for experiments. But Portman is perhaps one of the quietest proponents of the movement and isn’t urging anyone to follow her path. “My choices are solely my decision,” she says.

Bryan Adams

Music is his life. But apart from ut, the singer spends most of his time working with charitable foundations. For more than 20 years he has been “professing” veganism, and so imbued with it that the artist’s family also decided to support this idea. By giving up meat, Adams, according to himself, got rid of annoying allergies, which followed him for almost half a lifetime.

Alicia Silverstone

The “Batman & Robin” star wasn’t always so slim. After the release of the movie on the screen, the girl was drawn especially much attention. When Alicia gained excess weight, the paparazzi and yellow press unanimously called her anyone, but not a superheroine from the famous picture. Vegetarianism helped Alicia to get in shape. Like many vegans and vegetarians, Alicia stood up for the protection of animals, and actively participates in various events of this kind, donating to funds quite large sums of money.

Woody Harrelson

The actor, known to viewers for the trilogy “The Hunger Games” for a quarter of a century adheres to a healthy diet, in which there is no meat. In adolescence, Woody suffered from acne, and only when he refused dairy products, the situation changed fundamentally. After that, he seriously revised his entire menu. Now the actor is not just vegan, but also grows organic food on his farm.

Today vegetarianism is no longer just a fashionable trend, it is a way of life for many people who have voluntarily given up meat for the sake of their health and the lives of animals.
