Meet the 2010 Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity Winners!
Award-winning singer and songwriter Khalil Fong has been crowned Asia’s Sexiest Vegetarian man for 2010, while Chinese pop singer Jane Zhang has won the title of Asia’s Sexiest Vegetarian woman. Soap opera star–turned–Hollywood hottie Isabel Lucas was voted the Sexiest Vegetarian Australian celebrity.
Khalil—who has won many awards, including the Best Male Singer in the 14th Global Chinese Music Award (2010)—broke into fame with his first album Soul Boy. He released his fifth album, Timeless—which featured covers of songs by Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson—in January. He recently won two Best Golden Melody Awards at the first My Astro Music Awards (2009) and also received awards for Best Album (Orange Moon) and Best International Singer.
Jane’s fourth chart-topping album Believe in Jane was released this year. Her hit song “Painted Heart,” which was used in Painted Skin, was awarded Best Original Film Song at the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2009. Zhang, who went vegetarian because of her concerns over the environmental destruction that is caused by raising animals for meat, says that a vegetarian diet is an easy way to stay in shape. “Going vegetarian keeps me healthy and fit, all while saving the environment and not contributing to animal suffering,” she says.
Isabel—who went vegetarian after watching the documentary Earthlings at the home of Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis—says she doesn’t feel limited by her vegetarian diet. “I eat lots of veggies and pasta and nuts, tofu and soups”. She says of her decision, “[I]t’s a simple small step I can take … it works well for my body and I also feel more in tune.” Isabel started her career with a role on Australian soap opera Home and Away. She has since appeared in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Daybreakers, among other films.
Other top vote-getters include pop star Faye Wong; model and star–turned–Hollywood hottie Maggie Q; actor Zeng Li (who is known as the queen of prime-time TV in China); TV personalities Ruby Rose and Andrew G; Indian screen legend Amitabh Bachchan; Taiwanese music legend Yaya Meng; cricket sensation Srishant; and Taiwanese actorBarbie Hsu.
