Actress Natalie Portman hasn’t purchased or “used any leather or fur or animal products in 20 years.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ‘Star Wars’ actress is passionate about a vegan lifestyle and is a prominent animal rights campaigner and as well as spurning garments created from animal products she no longer buys new clothes unless absolutely necessary, reports aceshowbiz.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I haven’t bought or used any leather or fur or animal products in 20 years. I buy vintage clothes, and only if absolutely necessary, and of course repair damaged items,” she shared to The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has been a vegetarian since she was nine years old and went vegan in 2011 after reading Jonathan Safran Foer’s book ‘Eating Animals’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 41-year-old actress is committed to passing on those values to her children, Aleph and Amalia, who she has with her husband Benjamin Millepied as well educating them about climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She added, “We talk about (climate change) a lot in our household in terms of how we live, what we choose to do. My veganism is in large part an environmental choice, along with animal welfare.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The library plays a big role in the family consciousness as well. It is a place where we can get joy and greater selection by sharing and not owning. It’s a process, and clearly imperfect, but the consciousness is there.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also applies her environmentally friendly beliefs to how she travels and uses “a car-share app that is all electric cars.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
