Quantcast Vegetarian Star“Brothers”

Tobey Maguire Natalie Portman–Who Would You [Brothers Edition]

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 in Actors, Actresses, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Two veggie will rule the silver screens this Friday December 4 as Brothers, starring Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman, will be released.

Both have always been vocal about the veg life.

Tobey has asked Congress to put some vegetarian food in school lunches instead of the usual road kill meatloaf.

Natalie can’t stop telling people how great it is to be vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s Eating Animals.

She also couldn’t stop bumming food off Tobey and his chef during the filming of Brothers.

Between the two, who would you rather do…

Jake Gyllenhaal Discovers Tobey Maguire Chocolate Fix (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 in Food & Drink, Videos.

Jake Gyllenhaal interviewed Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire to discuss their upcoming film, Brothers.

As mentioned earlier, Natalie bummed off Tobey’s vegan chef on the set and was able to enjoy delish meals like falafel while filming.

When Natalie mentions that someone told her Tobey ate chocolate on the set, Tobey has to defend himself.

“Hold On. I want to address this chocolate thing,” Tobey jokes.

“There is a rice milk chocolate–a vegan rice milk chocolate that I eat.”

Is Tobey talking about the numerous dairy free candy bars like Dark Chocolate Raspberry, Dark Chocolate Almond and Sweet Chocolate Creamy Sweet from Rice Dream?

“Brothers” Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire Shared Vegan Chef

When it comes to the catering, the more vegetarians the better to make it easier on everyone who chooses cauliflower over chicken.

Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman star in Brothers, and the two not only got along well on screen, but during snack time as well.

When Natalie found out Tobey brought his own vegan chef to the set, she demanded that he share.

Natalie told marieclaire.com:

“Tobey Maguire brought his own vegan chef to the set. “I was like, ‘Um, could you make two of those?'”  “And I’d make a cute face, and they’d roll their eyes and give me another falafel.”

Although they say the camera adds 10 pounds, Natalie and Tobey probably never had to worry about finding bigger set clothes, since the vegan chef only served up the healthy stuff.

Wonder if Tobey convinced any other cast members to try a falafel from time to time?

Tobey Maguire “Brothers” Role Meant Eating Less Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, November 29th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink.

The Cinema Society Screening Of "Brothers" - Arrivals

This Friday, vegan Natalie Portman and almost vegan Tobey Maguire will star alongside each other in Brothers, a story about a woman who runs to the arms of her husband’s brother after she thinks he’s killed in Afghanistan.

Tobey, who plays Capt. Sam Cahill, had to prepare for the role by both learning what Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is from veterans and slimming down 25 pounds to look like an emaciated prisoner of war.

Director Jim Sheridan joked to sfgate.com that Maguire didn’t have any problem “dieting” for the role because, “He is a vegan, so as far as I am concerned he doesn’t eat anyway.”

Huh?

Sheridan must believe the old myth that vegans munch on granola and drink unsweetened papaya juice all day.

Tell that to the contestants and past winners of the Veggie Hot Dog Eating Contest, who put down approximately 1500 veg hot dogs in the name of pure indulgence.

The contest, created by iLoveMikeLitt, offers prizes to individuals and teams that can eat the most vegetarian hot dogs in 12 minutes.

As one competitor, Colin Kalmbacher said, “What is more Austin than a bunch of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores, all alongside each other, gorging themselves on hundreds of soy dogs for the sheer insanity of it?”
