Vegetarian Star

“I was vegan for four and a half years. I saw this documentary, “Forks Over Knives,” and it really said being a vegan’s too extreme, and being a red-meat eater’s too extreme every day. You have to find balance. Balance is what I never had but I needed. Either I’m on top of the world, spending a lot of money, or else I’m in the sewage. I’m not on top of the world, and I’m not in the sewage. This is really new for me.”

—Mike Tyson, in an interview with the LA Times. He may not be as strict with his vegan ways these days, but let’s hope he’s still mostly vegetarian.

Mike Tyson is quite fond of his tiger friend in The Hangover.

In real life, he’s just as enamored with the big cats and he recently said during an interview that he’s owned several of them and curls up with them in bed just like many do with a kitty from the shelter.

Only his kitty comes from a bigger shelter–at least the size of a sanctuary–and Tyson probably has to scoop much bigger things out of the litter box for it.

Below are a few highlights from the interview with Conan O’Brien:

Mike Tyson‘s interview with ABC News is weighted heavily on his vegan diet and the benefits he’s gained both physically and psychologically since adopting it.

Tyson doesn’t plan to return to meat anytime soon, as it probably taste just like the ear he bit off Holyfield years ago.

That particular piece of meat, in Tyson’s words “really sucked and stuff.”

Mike Tyson was reported to have been giving into his sweet tooth recently.

The New York Daily News‘ Gatecrasher says he was, “ordering assorted cookies at the Vegan Divas patisserie on the upper East Side over the weekend.”
