Woody Harrelson Turned Vegan From A Bus Ride

82nd Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals

We’ve heard this one before.

Woody Harrelson was on a bus, full of mucus, acne and sinus issues.

A woman on the bus tells him to stop eating that cheese stuff, he takes her advice and his skin and upper respiratory system live happily ever after.

Harrelson told Hustler,”When I was 23, 24, I used to have a really bad runny nose, mucus, tons of acne, reddishness all over. A woman on a bus I took looked at me and said I was lactose intolerant.”

“(She said), ‘Stop dairy for three days, and all this is going to go away.’ I stopped dairy, and sure enough it was gone three days later, never to return except when I get dairy accidentally.”

Just last year, Harrelson told Maxim a similar story.

“I was about 24 years old and I had tons of acne and mucus. I met some random girl on a bus who told me to quit dairy and all those symptoms would go away three days later. By God she was right.”

Apparently this advice is golden enough to be talked about within a six month time frame.

It’s gotta be a must try!

Any former dairy heads out there who gave it up in exchange for a baby bottom’s smooth face?

Woody Harrelson 40 Day Detox

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

Premiere of The Messenger

Woody Harrelson recently went on a 40 day detox that consisted of drinking only liquids.

“I went 22 days only having fruit juice, the rest of the time water,” Woody said.

“Also, I haven’t spoken a single word for most of the time. But it was totally worth it. Previously, I felt physically and spiritually blocked. Now I feel great.”

Skipping the heavy meal and going for a lighter snack of fruits and nuts is one thing, juicing for a day is another, but 40 days of detoxing?

Sounds faintish just thinking about it.

Original MTV Real World and VH1 Confessions of a Teen Idol star Eric Nies tried fasting to draw attention to world hunger, but did all the wrong things at first and ending up feeling dizzy and losing muscle before consulting with a friend who recommended energy drinks from fruit juice.

Guess the bottom line is, it’s always best to check with the doc before trying anything so drastic.

Have you fasted before and what were the results?

Woody Harrelson “The Messenger” Brings Ben Foster Vegan Food

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink.

Premiere Of "The Messenger" - Arrivals

Woody Harrelson has a reputation for making people walk the vegan walk while filming movies.

And just as Woody got some cast members of Zombieland to eat veg on the set, he also convinced his co-star Ben Foster to give up meat and dairy on the set of The Messenger.

Foster told WENN:

“He walks the walk… He did drag me, begrudgingly, to several vegan restaurants, and I did enjoy them very much. I felt like I had more energy and wasn’t as foggy after eating, let’s say, a really killer steak.”

We assume he was appreciative of this cultural eating expansion, given the fact he gave Woody a big kiss in this photo.

“But he’s not evangelical about it. He lives by his routine… If someone’s interested, he has an encyclopedic knowledge on the subject and, if we talked about foods, he’ll share a point of view, but he’s not looking for converts.”

Unfortunately, Foster didn’t quite get The Messenger Woody was trying to give him and isn’t ready to give up meat yet.

“I like a healthy dose of blood in my diet,” Foster added.

Eww. How about a healthy dose of e. coli as well?

Woody Harrelson: Honorary Doctorate For Annoying Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 in Actors, Environment-Eco-Green, Food & Drink.

Spike TV's Scream 2009 - Show

Woody Harrelson is set to receive an honorary doctorate from York University this Saturday for his environmental activism.

“It’s not always the usual suspects that need to be uncovered and recognized,” said Dawn Bazely, a biology professor who helped nominate Woody and learned about his environmental efforts after watching Go Further, a 2003 film featuring Woody taking a biofueled road trip to spread the eco friendly news.

During his interview with the Tornonto Star, Woody touched a bit on his veganism.

Q: What’s your biggest challenge as a raw-food vegan?

A: Sitting at a restaurant that’s not vegan and trying to explain I can’t have any dairy or butter without annoying the s— out of everybody at the table.

Woody admits he wasn’t into the green scene in college, but became interested in the late 80s and early 90s.

Woody Harrelson Or Jesse Eisenberg: Who Would You

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 in Actors, Film & TV, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg run from the tainted burger eating mutated zombie humans in the blockbuster hit Zombieland.

Although both follow healthy vegetarian diets in real life, with Woody being a raw vegan, at least one character mistakenly thinks Twinkies are the key to everlasting health and stamina to fight off the zombies.

Between the two co-stars, who would you rather…

Woody Harrelson Comfort Foods Include Mango, Avocado

Woody Harrelson visits 'The Late Show with David Letterman' in NYC

Woody Harrelson doesn’t find pleasure in mac and cheese, warm cornbread, or any other traditional comfort food.

If the zombies invaded Hollywood much like they did in Zombieland, Woody would be headed for the produce section of the store, not the sweet aisle to find Twinkies like his Zombieland character Tallahassee.

“I’d be searching for a mango,” Woody told New York Times. “Or an avocado. It really is a tough call between the two.”

Avocado?

Maybe Woody should pay Jason Mraz a visit. He, Jason and Olivia Wilde could go crazy on the green fruit.

What’s your comfort food during hard or stressful times, zombies or no zombies peeking through your window?
