Jared Leto and Ellen Page Named Sexiest Vegetarians

Where's the beef?

Definitely not with Jared Leto and Ellen Page.

I can exclusively reveal that PETA has named the Oscar winner and the Juno star as the winners of this year's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity contest.

Leto triumphed over Joaquin Phoenix, Samuel L. Jackson, Peter Dinklage and Woody Harrelson.

Page beat out Ariana Grande, Jessica Paré, Laura Prepon and Sarah Silverman.

When British GQ recently asked Leto how he stays so young looking, he said, "I'm pretty healthy so I think that helps a lot. I've been that way for a long time—20 solid years of eating vegetarian/vegan and taking care of myself."

The Dallas Buyers Club star also said he doesn't eat dairy because he thinks it's, quite simply, "disgusting."

Page has tweeted about a meatless lifestyle. "Why are vegans made fun of while the inhumane factory farming process regards animals and the natural world merely as commodities to be exploited for profit?" she posted.

Previous Sexiest Vegetarians include Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Russell Brand, Olivia Wilde, Carrie Underwood, Natalie Portman and Leona Lewis.

Ellen Page Comes Out

The actress Ellen Page came out in an emotional, eloquent speech today at the Human Rights Campaign’s Time to THRIVE conference in Las Vegas. “Loving other people starts with loving ourselves and accepting ourselves,” a visibly nervous Page said. “I am here today because I am gay.” After a short standing ovation, she continued:

Maybe I can make a difference to help others have an easier and more hopeful time… I also do it selfishly because I’m tired of hiding and I’m tired of lying by omission. I suffered for years because I was scared to be out. My spirit suffered. My mental health suffered. My relationships suffered. I’m standing here today with all of you on the other side of that pain.

It’s notable of course that an actress who’s worked in both blockbusters (Inception) and indie hits (Juno) is going public with her sexuality, but it’s particularly laudable that Page did so at this conference, before an audience of those working for the welfare of LGBT youth. Watch the video of Page’s touching speech below.
