In a recent interview, filmmaker James Cameron discussed his decision to adopt a plant-based diet over a decade ago. Encouraged by his wife, Suzy Cameron, he watched the documentary Forks Over Knives and was convinced to make the switch. Since then, Cameron has reported feeling a surge of energy and improved health, attributing it to his plant-based lifestyle which has lasted for 14 years.

Despite being 71 years old and having directed numerous successful films, Cameron credits his plant-based diet for providing him with the necessary energy to continue making movies. He is actively involved in environmental causes, co-founding organizations that raise awareness about the link between animal agriculture and climate change, as well as advocating for plant-based nutrition. Alongside his wife, Cameron has taken steps towards creating a more sustainable lifestyle, including serving exclusively vegan lunches at the school they co-founded.
