On New Year’s Day, Anderson Cooper kicked off 2013 by hosting Emmy-nominated vegan actor Alan Cumming, even sharing meat-free chicken tenders with the star and his co-host Jill Martin, Vegetarian Star reports. Cumming announced his commitment to veganism on Twitter just more than a year ago, inspired by boxer Mike Tyson, and told Cooper that his New Year’s Resolution is to get fitter.
