Award-winning singer and songwriter Khalil Fong has been crowned Asia's
Sexiest Vegetarian man for 2010, while Chinese pop singer Jane Zhang has won
the title of Asia's Sexiest Vegetarian woman. Soap opera star–turned–
Hollywood hottie Isabel Lucas was voted the Sexiest Vegetarian Australian
celebrity.
Khalil—who has won many awards, including the Best Male Singer in the 14th
Global Chinese Music Award (2010)—broke into fame with his first album Soul
Boy. He released his fifth album, Timeless—which featured covers of songs
by Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson—in January. He recently won two Best
Golden Melody Awards at the first My Astro Music Awards (2009) and also
received awards for Best Album (Orange Moon) and Best International Singer.
Jane's fourth chart-topping album Believe in Jane was released this year.
Her hit song "Painted Heart," which was used in Painted Skin, was awarded
Best Original Film Song at the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2009. Zhang, who
went vegetarian because of her concerns over the environmental destruction
that is caused by raising animals for meat, says that a vegetarian diet is
an easy way to stay in shape. "Going vegetarian keeps me healthy and fit,
all while saving the environment and not contributing to animal suffering,"
she says.
Isabel—who went vegetarian after watching the documentary Earthlings at the
home of Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis—says she doesn't
feel limited by her vegetarian diet. "I eat lots of veggies and pasta and
nuts, tofu and soups". She says of her decision, "[I]t's a simple small step
I can take … it works well for my body and I also feel more in tune."
Isabel started her career with a role on Australian soap opera Home and Away
. She has since appeared in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and
Daybreakers, among other films.
Other top vote-getters include pop star Faye Wong; model and star–turned–
Hollywood hottie Maggie Q; actor Zeng Li (who is known as the queen of prime
-time TV in China); TV personalities Ruby Rose and Andrew G; Indian screen
legend Amitabh Bachchan; Taiwanese music legend Yaya Meng; cricket sensation
Srishant; and Taiwanese actor Barbie Hsu.
2006: Going vegetarian was an easy choice for brainy beauty Kristin Bell,
who says, "I have always been an animal lover. I had a hard time
disassociating the animals I cuddled with—dogs and cats, for example—from
the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I
always loved my Brussels sprouts!" Grammy-winning rock royal Prince says he
won't eat "anything with parents" because "Thou shalt not kill means just
that!" The strict vegan was praised by animal lovers everywhere for giving
fans the lowdown on wool in the liner notes of his CD Rave Un2 the Joy
Fantastic.
2005: Country crooner and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood wore a "V Is
for Vegetarian" T-shirt on American Idol, sending her popularity soaring
among animal lovers everywhere. She grew up on a farm in Oklahoma and has
said that she decided she'd rather sing to cows than eat them. Chris Martin
and his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, are known for their love of vegan cuisine,
and they made international headlines when they gave their daughter, Apple,
a vegan birthday cake from Moby's New York eatery, teany.
2004: Alicia Silverstone, who shot to fame on the big screen in Clueless,
has said, "Once I became vegan, my nails were stronger, my skin was glowing,
I lost a lot of weight. … Going vegan is the single best thing I've done
in my life. I am so much happier and more confident. I made a decision based
on my moral beliefs." OutKast frontman Andre 3000 took the music world by
storm, landing a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and multiple number one
hits on the Billboard charts. When he was asked how he would spend his last
day on Earth, he replied, "I'd probably go for a great meal—some broccoli
probably, because I'm a vegetarian."
2003: Lauren Bush, top Tommy Hilfiger model and the niece of President Bush,
has been a vegetarian since the age of 4 and is passionate about animal-
protection issues. One Thanksgiving, she told friends that she'd contribute
a pie to the family meal but would not cook stuffing for the turkey, saying,
"I am a vegetarian. I won't do anything that has to do with the turkey."
Josh Hartnett's decision to go meat-free came several years ago and happened
in an instant. "One day I was cutting up a chicken for my mom, and I hit a
tumor with the knife," Hartnett said. "There was [pus] and blood all over
the place. That was enough for me."
2002: Tobey Maguire has been meatless since 1992. He bulked up for his role
as Spiderman by eating lots of tofu, and he said of his pre-veggie past, "I
had a really tough time eating chicken, because I would start imagining what
I was eating and what kind of life the animal led." Natalie Portman, who
starred as Queen Amidala in the Star Wars prequels and more recently starred
in V for Vendetta, has been a strict vegetarian since she was 8, after
seeing a demonstration of laser surgery on a chicken at a medical conference
with her father. She does not eat meat of any kind and avoids gelatin and
other animal products. Says Natalie, "I am a very strict vegetarian. ...I
just really, really love animals, and I act on my values."
2001: Shania Twain was the first star named "Sexiest Vegetarian Alive" by
PETA.org voters. "I don't eat meat, fish, or eggs. I was never a big meat-
eater, but I've got more energy now," said Shania, who hasn't eaten an
animal since she married longtime vegetarian (and record producer) Mutt
Lange in 1993. Her favorite food is pasta, and she says, "I eat a lot of
tofu, and I drink soy shakes with fruit every morning. I always have
soybeans, black beans, or chickpeas for lunch or dinner."
