James Cameron

James Cameron is an Oscar-winning Canadian filmmaker whose career is defined by scale, technical innovation, and a run of era-shaping blockbusters. He launched The Terminator (1984) and followed it with Aliens (1986), The Abyss (1989), and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), before directing Titanic (1997), one of the most commercially successful films ever made. He later returned to box-office history with Avatar (2009) and its sequels, pairing cutting-edge spectacle with stories that place nature, extraction, and human consequence at the centre.

Cameron has also become one of Hollywood’s most visible advocates for plant-based living. He has publicly linked his move away from animal products to environmental concerns, framing food choices as part of a broader response to climate and ecological pressure. In recent years, he has continued to describe himself as plant-based, speaking about having kept the diet for more than a decade and presenting it as a long-term, lived commitment rather than a short experiment.

His interest goes beyond personal diet. Cameron was an executive producer on The Game Changers, the documentary that brought plant-based performance claims into the mainstream by focusing on athletes and training. He has also backed plant-protein infrastructure with his wife, Suzy Amis Cameron, including investment in pulse processing in Saskatchewan, Canada, aimed at supporting more sustainable food systems. He has spoken as well about scaling plant-based protein production through partnerships and new facilities, positioning the sector as both an environmental opportunity and a practical route to shifting what ends up on people’s plates.
