‘A staggering number of celebrities went vegan in 2017, so it’s been harder than ever to crown Australia’s Sexiest Vegan Celebrities,’ PETA said in a statement. 

Liam won the award alongside drag queen and reality television star Courtney Act, born Shane Jelek.

The press release referenced Liam’s call to his Instagram followers, which number in the millions, to watch the What The Health documentary earlier this year.

‘If you care about your health, animal welfare or the planet we all live on, you must watch this documentary,’ he implored his fans.  

He has said his Hunger Games co-star Woody Harrelson convinced him to go vegan.

‘Having grown up with a love for and connection to all animals, and having been educated on the health benefits of a plant-based diet, it only made sense for me to go vegan,’ he revealed in a previous interview.

‘After all the information I gathered about the mistreatment of animals, I couldn’t continue to eat meat. The more I was aware, the harder and harder it was to do,’ he added.

Liam and Courtney beat out the likes of Natasha Oakley, The Veronicas, 360, Montaigne, Teresa Palmer and Ruby Rose to win the PETA Australia award.

Past winners of the annual contest include David Campbell, Morgan Mitchell, and Bridget Malcolm.
