Thandie Newton and David Haye have been named the Sexiest Vegan Celebrities of 2014.
The 42-year old actress and the heavyweight boxer were awarded the joint title by animal rights group, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) for their efforts in promoting compassion for animals and encouraging plant-based eating. The pair will receive a box of vegan chocolates and a framed certificate in recognition of the achievement.
Thandie has been vocal in the past about her dislike of animals suffering and its effects on the environment while David only became a vegan at the start of the year after watching a documentary about how animals are prepared for people to eat.
Thandie and David’s victory means they follow in the footsteps of other big names who have won the accolade including Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman, Anthony Kiedis; singer, Leona Lewis; actress, Lily Cole and comedian, Russell Brand.

I've been vegan for 26 years and consider it one of the best decisions of my life (my doctor agrees). I lost 25 lbs within the first few months. Today my blood work and test results are of a man half my age!
Here's a short video to help everyone understand why so many people are making this life affirming choice and why the number of vegans has doubled in the US in less than 3 years.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKr4HZ7ukSE
