Harrelson says his decision to avoid meat and dairy products came not from an activism for animal rights, but when a stranger told him it would improve his complexion. He told Maxim magazine:
It's been at least 20 years. I used to eat burgers and steak, and I would just be knocked out afterward. I had to give it up.

The first thing was dairy. 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.

The 48-year-old star is not the only celebrity who has credited veganism, which also prohibits the use of products made from animals, such as leather, with improving their appearance. Former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson recently revealed she lost weight and toned up thanks to teaming her anti-dairy and meat diet with long walks with her vicar.

She explained: "I've never dieted, but I'm cooking vegan now and I think that helps. I walk with my minister in the mornings. I know it's the funniest thing for Pamela Anderson to do, but it's true. I talk about God and walk. It's like a daily Bible study."
