20 Things You Didn't Know About Peter Dinklage

20. He€™s A Vegetarian

Tyrion Lannister Peter Dinklage Gif Dinklage's 'no meat' policy started when he was young. In a recent Reddit AMA, the actor had the following to say: "€œI decided to become a vegetarian when I was in my teens. At the time I was doing it because of my love for animals, but also for a girl. Of course. I have continued to stay with it out of my great respect for animals, though. Any form of animal abuse is pretty upsetting to me. As a New Yorker it€™s hard to see horse drawn carriages every day, and I hope we can make more progress towards solving that issue.€ Dinklage will be happy to know that a bill banning the carriages is currently making its way around the NY legislature.
