It’s hard finding much about the motives behind Sarsgaard’s veganism, but as he is a keen runner, and still cooks meat for his kids1Thorp, C. Peter Sarsgaard: Our Kind of Leading Man. Men’s Journal.

“…there are a lot of vegans working in the entertainment industry. On the movie that I just wrapped I was actually wondering what the meat eating actors were doing!”1Thorp, C.
