People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals recently dubbed Jay McGuinness, member of the hit boy band Wanted, as the world’s “Sexiest Male Vegetarian.” McGuinness, who has experienced recent chart-topping success with his single “We Own the Night,” won the title over actor and comedian Russell Brand, Fall Out Boy’s Andy Hurley, and Thirty Seconds to Mars’ band member Jared Leto. According to McGuinness’ mother, the 23-year-old pop star has had an affinity for animals since he was a child. Actress Zendaya Coleman, who plays a vegetarian in the Disney show “Shake It Up,” was given the “Sexiest Female Vegetarian” award by PETA.
