Vegetarian Star

Alicia Silverstone met Amy Heckerling almost 20 years ago on the set of Clueless. Much has changed for both writer-director Heckerling and Silverstone since the 90s, but both are united again for the production of Vamps, a film set for release this November starring Silverstone as one of two female vampires in New York City.

Silverstone spent a lot of time frequenting vegetarian and vegan establishments in the Detroit area while she filmed Vamps. During her Clueless days, there was probably little more than a fast food restaurant that served a good iceberg salad as the vegetarian option. She spoke with Heckerling in an interview for Bullet Magazine, where she emphasized that people are also more willing to hear environmental and animal rights issues than they were during her debut screen days.

“When I was younger, it wasn’t yet cool to talk about the environment and animal rights issues. I remember it being one of those things that people around me were trying to quash, like, “Can you please stop talking about that?” But I didn’t, obviously. I remember doing interviews in London for some movie at the time, and the interviewers would want to talk about the movie, of course, but all I wanted to talk about was murder. They probably expected me to be like the Clueless character, but instead I was sitting there saying stuff like, And then they anally electrocute! I pretty much bummed everyone out.”
