Updated: Apr. 20, 2018
A vegan lifestyle isn’t for everyone — but according to chef Gordon Ramsay and these other celebs, there is a reason behind their change in diet.
Celebs that have hopped on the vegan diet — and aren’t looking back
Shocked by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s decision to go vegan? You shouldn’t be. He’s one of many celebs that have adopted a vegan diet for a slew of reasons ranging from animal rights to luminous skin.
Ariana Grande
The singer became vegan because of her love for animals, as well as the health benefits. “…I am a firm believer in eating a full plant-based, whole food diet that can expand your life length and make you an all-round happier person,” Grande told The Mirror UK. “It is tricky dining out, but I just stick to what I know – veggies, fruit and salad – then when I get home I’ll have something else.”

The Oscar-winner credits the diet for her glowing skin. “Diet is a big part of it.,” she told InStyle. “I’m vegan, and I drink a lot of water. If I have dairy, I break out immediately. Her dedication to veganism runs deeper than glowing skin — she’s a vegan activist currently producing and narrating the upcoming doc Eating Animals. And yes, she lives in Paris and no, she still doesn’t eat croissants.
