Celebrity Vegan of the Day: Benedict Cumberbatch

​2018 PETA Most Beautiful Vegan Benedict Cumberbatch who plays Dr. Strange in the Avengers movies and has performed in film, television, theatre and radio has made no secret of the fact he follows a vegan diet.  Additionally he admitted earlier this year that he relied on the goodness of fruits and veggies to help him get into shape for Infinity War.  It's not just his food choices that are compassionate as the 41-year-old actor refused to wear leather during his shoot with British GQ magazine - choosing instead to sport vegan boots and a suit made of "future wool."  Cumberbatch has received numerous accolades, including the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor for Frankenstein and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for Sherlock. His performance in The Imitation Game earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. In 2014 Time magazine included him in its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, and in 2015 he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
