Murray Rose, a four-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming for Australia, passed away at the age of 73.
In addition to being an accomplished freestyle swimmer, winning gold at the 1956 Melbourne and 1960 Rome games, Rose dabbled in acting, having an appearance in the 1964 film “Ride the Wild Surf,” and the 1968 action film “Ice Station Zebra.”
He did it all on a completely plant-based diet and described himself as being ahead of his time in an age that he claimed vegetarianism “wasn’t really cared for.”
