Natalie Portman gave up meat when she was ten after watching a documentary showing animals being operated on.

The actress admits she loves meat, but was shocked into a vegetarian lifestyle.

Portman, 26, says, "Since I was about 9 and saw a film about laser surgery on chicken. It was tough because I loved my mom's brisket but I've not eaten meat or fish since." (IG/TG/JC)
