Tobey Maguire Trades Leather Car Seats For Synthetic Ones
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 12th, 2011 in Actors, Transportation.
Tobey Maguire is such a hard-core vegetarian that even his ride has to be animal-free.
The actor was given a Mercedes for his transportation needs while filming an adaptation of The Great Gatsby in Australia.
The only problem was that the luxury car included leather seats.
Maguire requested officials on the set take the car back and replace it with one containing synthetic cloths.
Maguire once said of his vegetarian lifestyle, “I don’t eat eggs, or nearly any dairy – no cheese or milk. I do eat honey and a piece of milk chocolate here and there. It’s never really been that hard for me.”
“I’ve never had any desire to eat meat. In fact, when I was a kid I would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. It had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that. I don’t judge people who eat meat – that’s not for me to say – but the whole thing just sort of bums me out.”
