Joaquin Phoenix’s Bad Mother #$@*!&* Pizza Experience!
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 14th, 2008 in Actors.
Joaquin Phoenix was raised vegan by his parents and for the most part, never disobeyed. However, like many young adolescent boys and girls with much bravado, every once in awhile he rebelled and went against mom and dad’s teachings, dabbling in dairy here and there. One such rebellious act taught him an important lesson.
He was eating at a friend’s house and everyone else was having cheese pizza.
“They got pizza, and I was like, ‘I’m having some motherf**king pizza.’”
Unfortunately, it was the pizza that had him.
“I ate two slices and vomited for two days.”
This was his first and only experience eating pizza with dairy cheese on it. He actually craves salads and vegetables and doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, which he says makes him a “parent’s dream.”
Well, maybe not always a vegan parent’s dream. But some youngsters have to learn lessons the hard way.
