Zendaya Shares Reason She Turned Vegetarian: 'It Legit Shocks People'

Raise your hand if you didn’t know that Zendaya was a vegetarian? We didn’t either!

“Something a lot of people don’t know about me is that I’m a vegetarian. It legit shocks people,” she writes on her website. “I don’t know, maybe I seem like somebody who loves bacon.”

So why did Zendaya go vegetarian? “My main reason for being a vegetarian is that I’m an animal lover. Definitely NOT because I love vegetables.”

She adds, “I don’t like the taste of meat. It actually makes me feel weird. The only thing I kind of miss are my mom’s famous turkey burgers, but that’s it.”
