Thandie Newton voted sexiest celebrity vegan

Los Angeles - Thandie Newton and David Haye have been named the Sexiest Vegan Celebrities of 2014.

The 42-year-old actress and the heavyweight boxer were awarded the joint title by animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) for their efforts in promoting compassion for animals and encouraging plant-based eating.

The pair will receive a box of vegan chocolates and a framed certificate to recognise their achievement.



Thandie has been vocal in the past about her dislike of animals suffering and its effects on the environment.

She previously said: "I don't want any kind of suffering of any living form .... animals are being pumped full of growth hormones which are then getting fed to our kids. And it's affecting the water, environment."
