Hollywood, CA – Jeff Goldblum, star of the upcoming film “Wicked: For Good,” has revealed that his role in the movie inspired him to adopt a vegetarian diet. The actor, known for his roles in “Jurassic Park” and “Independence Day,” cited the film’s themes of animal oppression and his conversations with director Jon M. Chu as key influences.
“It changed me,” Goldblum said in an interview. “You know, after doing this movie, we talked about the animal cruelty, I stopped eating meat and poultry. So this Christmas and Thanksgiving, I may be having … something else.”
“Wicked” explores themes of injustice and mistreatment, which resonated deeply with Goldblum, leading him to align his lifestyle with the film’s message. “I’m happy,” he shared, adding, “We need the world to work for everybody on Earth, and every creature, too.”
Goldblum joins his “Wicked” co-stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who already follow plant-based diets. His decision highlights the growing awareness of the ethical and health benefits associated with vegetarianism. Health experts recommend consulting with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for individuals interested in transitioning to a plant-based diet.
With the holidays approaching, Goldblum is exploring meat-free alternatives for traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. From stuffed acorn squash to cauliflower steaks, the actor has many options to create festive and fulfilling vegetarian feasts.
