Solo Star Thandie Newton: “I have been vegan since working with Woody [Harrelson]”

In a recent interview for the Associated Press, actress Thandie Newton of Solo: A Star Wars Story, revealed that she has been a vegan for the past four months.

Interviewed alongside Woody Harrelson, Newton spoke about how her co-star would even make sure that the “atmospheric smoke” used on set wasn’t “bad for the lungs,” and added:

“I think it’s good to have a vegan in the mix, a vegan in position of power. I have been vegan since working with Woody.”

When asked if she was “one of the converts,” Newton responded:

“Literally. The last four months, it’s been four months. It hasn’t done anything to my brain, I’m absolutely fine. Thanks so much. It hasn’t done anything.”
