Hollywood's Coolest Vegans

I like meat, fish and dairy. But upon further investigation of the benefits of a

vegan lifestyle, I could be persuaded. But it would have to come from someone

incredibly hip and stylish. Woody Harrelson is one person I could see persuading

me to tumble head over heels for tofurkey.

 

In this month's Maxim, actor Woody Harrelson, who stars in next month's

" Zombieland, " discusses how a chance meeting with a girl made him become a

vegan. When the stranger promised him it would cure his chronic acne, he claims

the decision turned his life around.

 

The actor claims a meat and dairy diet ruined his skin and left him lethargic

and sluggish. He's been on a raw food diet for 25 years. He tells the monthly,

" I used to eat burgers and steak, and I would just be knocked out afterward; I

had to give it up. "

 

" The first thing was dairy. I was about 24 years old and I had tons of acne and

mucus. I met some random girl on a bus who told me to quit dairy and all those

symptoms would go away three days later. By God she was right. "

 

Recently on " Top Chef Masters, " the chefs were challenged to provide a vegan

lunch for charming and Zooey Deschanel and about 20 of her friends. Simple

right? Except she's gluten intolerant and doesn't eat soy. In other words,

everything on her plate has to be totally raw. Explains her dewy skin and cheery

outlook.

 

It got me thinking, who are some of the coolest vegans in Hollywood? And more

importantly will they have any impact on my rather crappy eating habits?

 

Here are Hollywood Top Ten Coolest Vegans That Could Talk Me Into A Raw Food

Diet:

 

10. Prince (especially if he put it into song)

 

9. Alec Baldwin

 

8. Olivia Wilde

 

7. Lenny Kravitz (see Prince)

 

6. Shania Twain

 

5. Fiona Apple

 

4. Kathy Freston

 

3. Zooey Deschanel

 

2. Casey Affleck

 

1. Ginnifer Goodwin

 

So, if anyone is interested in giving me a lesson in converting my crap-only

diet into something of value and worth, and you are one of the top listed above,

I'm available.
