Have you ever thought about how many celebrities are vegan? Many celebs have been renowned to go on some queer diets, but these celebrities have chosen to go vegan. Some have done it for animal rights, some have done it for health reasons, and some have done it just because it’s popular. Anyway, these celebs are examples that going vegan is accomplishable and easier than it seems. I’ve got a list of top 9 famous vegan celebrities.
1. Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen DeGeneres is a popular talk show presenter who has been a vegan for quite some time. Ellen had tried to go vegan when she was younger, but it just lasted a short while. With the help of her vegan wife, Portia de Rossi, and her chef, Ellen DeGeneres made the permanent switch to a vegan diet.
2. Woody Harrelson
After learning he was lactose intolerant, Harrelson decided to switch to a vegan diet. Woody Harrelson has gone vegan since he was 24. He has said that he has had more energy than when he was on a dairy and meat diet. Woody Harrelson is one of the most popular celebs who are vegan.
