Profoundly hit by the many documentaries surrounding the food industry, the wildly talented Leto decided to turn vegan and to stop consuming animal products when he learned about the presence of pus in dairy produce. He has been dedicated to being a vegan for over twenty years and has even inspired his bandmates to follow suit. Leto holds his eating habits responsible for being the reason he continues to appear youthful at the age of forty-three; he has also been nominated several times by PETA as one the Sexiest Vegetarians Alive.
