Frequently asked questions
Who is the most famous vegan?
On the itsvegan community ranking, Jessica Chastain is currently #1, followed by Rooney Mara and Leona Lewis. Among the best-known vegans in the world are Lewis Hamilton, Joaquin Phoenix, Billie Eilish and Woody Harrelson. The ranking changes daily with community votes.
When is World Vegan Day?
World Vegan Day is celebrated every year on 1 November. It was started in 1994 by Louise Wallis, then chair of The Vegan Society, to mark the society’s 50th anniversary, and the whole of November is now celebrated as World Vegan Month.
How does the ranking work?
The ranking is recalculated every hour from community upvotes (the strongest signal), how many members recommend the profile, profile views over the last 30 days and — when the person or a moderator adds them with a source — public follower counts, which are log-scaled so huge accounts can’t drown out everyone else.
How can I add myself or suggest someone?
Anyone can add a publicly vegan person with a link to a source where they say they are vegan (an interview, article or their own post). If you are vegan yourself — athlete, creator, musician, author or activist — tick “This is me” when you add your profile: it’s free, and you’ll manage it and get the “claimed” tick.
Is this you? Can I claim or remove a profile?
Yes. Open the profile and choose “Claim this profile” to manage your bio, photo, links and follower counts, or use “Report” to request a correction or removal. We review every request.
