Liam Hemsworth

Liam Hemsworth was once a committed vegan, but a serious health scare led him to reassess his diet.

‘The Hunger Games’ star explained: “I was vegan for almost four years, and then February of last year I was feeling lethargic. Then I got a kidney stone.

“It was one of the most painful weeks of my life. I was doing press for Isn’t It Romantic. But I had to go to the hospital and get surgery.”

Reflecting on the experience, Hemsworth added: “What I say to everyone is, ‘Look, you can read whatever you want to read. But you have to experience it for yourself. You have to figure out what works best for your body.’

“If something works well for a period, great, keep doing it. If something changes and you’re not feeling great, you’ve got to reassess it and then figure it out.”
