Barton and Johansson Embrace Vegan Food to Get Healthy

In a recent interview with heyuguys.co.uk’s Ben Mortimer, The Avengers star Scarlett Johannson made no secret of her affinity for vegan food, defending her love of dairy-free oatmeal cookies and flax crackers to her co-star Jeremy Renner. The actress’s plant-based persuasion is apparently no secret—she also tells the Irish Times that she started eating a raw vegan diet to “fix” her former Paleo diet, attributing her ability to fit in The Black Widow’s catsuit to her new veg-heavy regimen. And, she’s not the only one getting down with veggies. Last week, Mischa Barton—best known for her role as Marissa Cooper on The OC—revealed to US Weekly that her slimmed-down bikini bod was the result of switching to vegan chow, running every day, and participating in juice cleanses.
