Valiant vegans Jessica Chastain and Woody Harrelson have earned kudos from the famed animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), which named the duo as thesexiest vegetarians of 2012. After following avegetarian diet for 15 years, Jessica dumped the dairy in her diet and has been a vegan for the past five years, she told PETA. And Woody has rocked it as a vegan for almost three decades.
Jessica made her decision based on her concern for animals. One of the stand-out stars of the acclaimed film "The Help," Jessica explained, "I don't want to torture anything. It's about trying to live a life where I'm not contributing to the cruelty in the world. While I am on this planet, I want everyone I meet to know that I am grateful they are here."
As for Woody, who garnered attention in "The Hunger Games," turning vegan has become a lifestyle since age 24, when he learned he was lactose intolerant. Woody was suffering from "acne all over my face" and what seemed like a perpetual cold. But when he bid cheese and milk adieu, his symptoms vanished. And so did his belief in the advertising slogan, "Milk does a body good," he told Esquiremagazine recently. "There are all these things we're brought up to believe that are just a total hoax, just bullshit advertising, you know?" And for anyone who doubts just how serious he is about his vegan diet, consider the ultimate sacrifice: Twinkies! When Woody was filming "Zombieland," the producers had to call upon their chefs to craft vegan Twinkies, according to OMG-Facts.
