Since Veganuary started and experienced a rise in popularity, veganism has officially become mainstream. And luckily, celebrities all over are using their platform to promote their own vegan lifestyles. Here are some celebrities you probably didn’t know are vegan. 

Joaquin Phoenix 

Joaquin is an actor who doesn’t let the presume of Hollywood stop him from spading his message about veganism. He made headlines in 2020 after he delivered a powerful speech at the Oscars as he took to the stage to accept his awards. He stated how “we’ve become so disconnected to the natural world,” and pointed out the cruelty that is happening on dairy farms. 

Billie Eilish 

Billie Eilish was raised vegetarian before making the change to vegan. She uses her fame to advocate veganism and often uses her platform to speak out about the cruelty animals face. In fact, in 2018, she took to social media to share a video and ask her 26 million followers “how can anyone watch these videos?”

Woody Harrelson

Woody Harrelson is arguably one of Hollywood’s earliest vegans. He is unapologetic and passionate about animals and the environment. He has been vegan for almost 30 years. Many celebrities have credited Harrelson with turning them vegan and showing how easy it is to change.
