10 Things You Didn't Know About Bryce Dallas Howard

5. She Was A Vegan

Howard was won around to the vegan way of life by The Village co-star Joaquin Phoenix who showed her a documentary on animal cruelty called Earthlings, co-produced by actress Maggie Q. However, she explained to Self magazine why she transitioned back to her meat-eating ways: "I was a vegan for several years €“ all the way through my pregnancy and the birth of my son. Becoming Vegan was actually more of a personal choice than a health choice for me, but there were many wonderful health benefits that came along with that lifestyle. "Unfortunately, I learned a few months after my son€™s birth that I actually had a rare condition that was triggered by pregnancy, where consuming the amino acids from meat became critical to my health. My doctor sat me down and finally said, €˜Bryce, you need to choose between your ethics and your future.'"
