We asked you to help us decide who we should name as the hottest, most compassionate, most animal-loving celebrities, and you voted by the thousands! Now, with your help, we’ve picked the winners*!
Drum roll, please …
Zendaya Coleman and
The Wanted’s Jay McGuiness!
*peta2 selected winners based on several factors, including vote count.
Zendaya is a seriously talented actor, singer, and dancer (what can’t this girl do?!). Gaining fans through her hit Disney Channel series, Shake It Up; recording new music; and becoming the youngest contestant ever on Dancing With the Stars, the 16-year-old beauty has a career that is destined for greatness.
How does she keep up her energy for that busy schedule? By ditching meat and eating a plant-based diet—off and even on screen:
“In the meatball episode which was really gross, I put in a part where I said I was vegetarian because I really am a vegetarian in real life. That’s something I believe in very strongly.”
Let’s talk about the hottest of the hot, The Wanted’s own Jay McGuiness!
The U.K. band is burning up the charts with hit single after hit single, and as if that weren’t enough, we get a glimpse into their lives every week on E!’s The Wanted Life. We know what you’re thinking: How can we possibly pick a favorite hottie from this band? With the cute-factor bouncing off the charts, what sets Jay apart is his kind heart for animals:
“Mostly today, my heart’s happy that cows have best friends. They have a favourite cow to hang around with … the best thing I’ve ever heard.”
Jay knows that loving animals means not eating them, which makes him stand out among his handsome band mates, and it’s what helped earn him the title of peta2’s Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity of 2013.
Congrats to Zendaya and Jay and to all our hot celebrities
