Vegetarian Star

Growing up, Abbie Cornish always ate the meat and eggs from the animals her family raised. Although she was aware of where her food came from, she never learned what a vegetarian was until she was 13.

“I know in this day and age it’s hard to believe that,” Cornish said of her naivete. “I grew up on a farm, so I wasn’t indulged in magazines, newspapers, Internet, television. So for some reason I was never exposed to what a vegetarian was.”

Actually, given the fact some adults in the 40s and beyond don’t realize what’s acceptable for a vegetarian to eat and not eat, Cornish’s realization at 13 may actually be considered precocious.

Whoever thinks vegetarian is another name for bad hunter better not say that to Abbie Cornish when she’s got her M4 in hand.

Not to worry, Cornish, a vegetarian, isn’t interested in shooting anything with a face, animal or human. But she was surprised to learn how much fun she had going for the range to prepare for her latest role in Sucker Punch, the tale of five women who bust out of a psych ward.

“They’re a great group of people who are super passionate about animal welfare. From inhumane transportation to factory farming, there are many important issues people need to be educated about. I don’t understand why an animal’s spirit – its life – is so undervalued. There are other ways to do things.”

—-Abbie Cornish, on Voiceless: The Animal Protection Institute, an Australian animal welfare group that operates by networking with individuals in the community, conducting research and educating the public.

Abbie said she’s “passionate about animal welfare,” and has been a vegetarian since age 13.

Abbie Cornish recently spoke with LATimesmagazine.com where she revealed she hopes her title of Australia’s Sexiest Vegetarian will help her spread the news about animal rights.

Q: You were named by PETA as one of Australia’s sexiest vegetarians, and clearly you love animals. Does promoting “sexy vegetarianism” do anything to bring attention to animal rights?

A: Anytime anyone asks me that, I cross my fingers and think, I hope so. It creates press, and people who might not usually read about animal rights might take a look. It’s crazy, but I guess that’s the world we live in.

Abbie has already mentioned she’s always wanted to work with animals.

Could looking hot be the key to making change in the world?

Actress Abbie Cornish stars as Francis Fanny Brawne, the love interest of famous poet John Keats in the recently released movie Bright Star.

We’re proud to say Abbie is also a veg star and has been that way since age 13.

According to the Times Online, Abbie grew up around farm animals in New South Wales and spent her time painting, swimming and taking photos.

“I never felt like I just want to be an actor, and that’s it,” she said. “I always wanted to work with animals. I want to make music, to paint, to take photos, to travel…“That’s a lot, right? Sometimes I wonder how I’m going to get it all done.”

As a beautiful and talented actress, now’s the best time ever to work with animals and encourage others to do the same, Abbie.

You’re a superwoman! Start promoting adoption or animal rescue ASAP!
