October 1 is World Vegetarian Day to raise awareness about avoiding animal foods. The main promoters of a vegetarian lifestyle are, of course, the stars. However, public figures themselves adhere to vegetarianism for various reasons.

We have compiled a list of the most famous foreign and domestic vegetarians.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt has not eaten meat for many years, although his eating habits can hardly be called correct. He admits that his favorite foods are pizza and coffee. The actor not only does not eat meat himself, but also cannot watch his children do it. However, this allows them Angelina Jolie, who, although she tried to follow her common-law spouse, could not completely abandon meat. Therefore, there are rumors that for some time now all family members eat separately from each other.

Natalie Portman

In 2007, Natalie Portman was named the Sexiest Vegetarian by Maxim magazine. The actress has not eaten meat since childhood. She still recalls with horror how her father took her to a medical conference, where she saw a surgical experience on a live chicken. Since then, meat has been eliminated from her diet. Portman then ditched fish, eggs, cheese and milk as well, replacing it all with herb salads, fruit smoothies, vegetable soups, rice, pasta, tofu and nuts. At the same time, the star does not like to discuss her nutrition and does not agitate to eat the same way. According to her, she just does what her conscience tells her to do.

The only time Portman had to abandon her habits was pregnancy in order to carry a healthy baby.

Paul McCartney

Legendary member of The Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney, became a vegetarian with the light hand of his wife Linda. According to him, the realization of this choice came to him when he once observed a grazing sheep. Later, the artist stopped eating not only meat, but also fish. He has also worked with PETA for over twenty years and advocates for animal welfare.

By the way, the daughter of the ex-Beatle, designer Stella McCartney, is a vegetarian since birth. In addition, she never uses natural fur and leather in her collections.

It is said that Alec's interest in "green" food was raised by his ex-wife Kim Basinger, who is herself a vegetarian.

Richard Gere

Unexpectedly for many, the famous boxer Mike Tyson turned out to be a vegetarian. He said that he completely abandoned animal products, which allowed him to lose several dozen extra pounds. In addition, Tyson claims that the change in diet changed not only his figure, but also his character, miraculously making him calmer and more balanced.

Nikolay Drozdov

The main animal lover on domestic television, Nikolai Drozdov, became a vegetarian in 1970 while working in India. According to him, after reading books about the teachings of yogis, he realized that there is no need to eat meat for three reasons: because it is poorly digested, moral (not to offend animals) and spiritual (a plant-based diet makes a person more peaceful and benevolent).

Valeria

Singer Valeria admitted that she was a vegetarian for almost 10 years, but at first under duress. Her ex-husband and producer Alexander Shulgin did not eat meat, and therefore she should not have done it. Now Valeria allows herself to eat seafood. However, she regularly observes the fast.
