The former House Of Cards actress decided to go vegetarian more than 10 years ago, before eventually committing to a vegan lifestyle.

In an interview last year with The Independent UK, the Fantastic Four actress explains, 'People always assume if you’re vegetarian you can just live on cheese.'

Mara continues, 'And meanwhile cheese is awful for your body even if tastes so good.'
