Mike Tyson

Tyson didn’t mind giving his boxing opponents some black eyes back in the day, but you won’t find him condoning the killing of animals. Tyson lost 100 pounds—yes, you read that correctly—from sticking to a vegetarian diet in 2012 and is now giving his strict vegan diet credit for saving his life and assisting with his high blood pressure.

Bill Clinton

If our former president is looking slimmer to you these days, it’s because he lost 30 pounds on a vegan diet. Clinton says he has far more energy now, which he needs for his nonstop schedule. One of the causes Clinton has recently become passionate about is America’s obesity epidemic. We think he’s setting a great example for a healthy lifestyle.

Russell Simmons

Business magnate Simmons won’t be found at any pricey steakhouses. In fact, Simmons lives a rather unglamorous life as a recently self-appointed meditation guru. Simmons came out with a book, “Success Through Stillness,” in which he discusses the benefits of being a yogi, a vegan and a dedicated meditator.

Steve-O

Steve-O might be willing to risk his life in the name of hilarious stunts on “Jackass” but he won’t risk it in the name of dairy. Or meat or fish or eggs for that matter. Steve-O raves about the benefits of coconut water and chia seeds, and is a fan of Gardein’s vegan “chick’n” tenders. He can be spotted around vegan restaurants in Santa Monica, California.

Joaquin Phoenix

Phoenix might play the whiskey-guzzling Johnny Cash in “Walk The Line” but his real lifestyle is much healthier. Phoenix has been a loyal vegan since the age of 3. Phoenix recalled in one interview the moment he decided to stop eating meat; he was on a fishing trip with his family and couldn’t believe the barbaric method of killing the fish.
