Woody Harrelson Became Vegan to Clear His Acne

Woody Harrelson became a vegan to clear up his acne.
The actor –- who hasn’t eaten meat since his 20s and now only eats raw food — says his decision to avoid meat and dairy products has nothing to do with animal rights and actually started when a stranger told him it would improve his complexion.
“It’s been at least 20 years,” he told Maxim magazine. “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.”
The 48-year-old star is not the only celebrity who has credited veganism –- which also prohibits the use of products made from animals, such as leather — with improving their appearance.
Pamela Anderson recently revealed she lost weight and toned up thanks to teaming her anti-dairy and meat diet with long walks with her vicar.
“I’ve never dieted, but I’m cooking vegan now and I think that helps,” said the former Baywatch star.
“I walk with my minister in the mornings. I know it’s the funniest thing for Pamela Anderson to do, but it’s true. I talk about God and walk. It’s like a daily Bible study.”
