CAMBRIDGESHIRE MAN IS FINALIST IN PETA’S ‘HOTTEST VEGAN’ COMPETITION
Finalists in PETA Contest Will Battle for Top Honours and a Luxury European Cruise
Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire – What does Huntingdon local Ben Brownsell have in common with Joaquin Phoenix, Jared Leto, and David Haye? They’re all sizzling, sexy vegans! Brownsell beat out numerous other entrants to become one of eight male finalists in PETA’s UK and Ireland’s Hottest Vegan Competition 2018.

Brownsell credits documentaries What the Health and Dominion with prompting him to make the transition to vegan living. He says, “As an animal lover, I realised my actions weren’t aligned with my morals. I pretty much went vegan overnight and haven’t looked back since.”
“There’s nothing sexier than someone who is committed to helping animals and the environment, and it doesn’t hurt that vegans are, on average, healthier and more energetic than their meat-eating peers,” says PETA Director Elisa Allen. “Each one of the finalists in PETA’s contest is a living example of the strength and vitality that can come from vegan eating.”

The two winners of the annual contest – modelled, in part, after PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities contest, which has honoured Leona Lewis, John Bishop, Thandie Newton, David Haye, and many others – will each receive a trip for two on the luxury five-night Christmas Markets cruise on Germany and Switzerland’s Rhine and Moselle rivers, courtesy of Vegan Travel.
This year’s winners will be chosen based on several factors, including vote count, and will be announced by 13 August. See the full contest details here.
Brownsell is available for interviews. For more information and to vote in the contest, please visit PETA.org.uk.
