Mike Tyson Vegan Billboard Goes Hollywood
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 18th, 2011 in Animal Issues, Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.
As a legendary boxer with several heavyweight titles, Mike Tyson has always been pretty strong but he’s never been able to stop traffic.
Until now.
A vegan diet has propelled him to greater star status and Tyson can be seen on a billboard in Hollywood, California sponsored by the group Last Chance For Animals.
The shot take by famous celebrity photographer Christopher Ameruoso puts Tyson in the middle of the word “Vegan” and the phrase “Love Animals, Don’t Eat Them” while he kisses a dove.
“I am truly honored and grateful to be a part of this cause,” said Tyson. “It’s been a while since an organization has wanted me for anything and to be a part of something that benefits people and animals in such a positive way is a blessing.”
Tyson lost over 100 pounds after going vegan and continues to enjoy what he says are both health and psychological benefits from abstaining from meat, dairy and eggs.
He says he avoid anything that going to “enrage” him, such as meat and processed foods.
The exact location of Tyson’s billboard is at Sunset Blvd. and Doheny Dr in West Hollywood, California.
