New York, Sep 24 : Woody Harrelson didn''t become vegan because of his love for animals, but to get rid of his acne.

In an interview with Maxim, he said that he gave up dairy foods to help clear up his skin.

"I was about 24 years old, and I had tons of acne," the New York Post quoted him as telling the magazine.

"I met some random girl on a bus who told me to quit dairy and all those symptoms would go away three days later,” he said.

Harrelson added: "By God, she was right." (ANI)
