He&rsquo;s Hollywood&rsquo;s most famous environmentalist, he&rsquo;s poured money into more plant-based and lab-grown meat companies than almost any celebrity alive, and vegan blogs have claimed him for years. He&rsquo;s also the guy who ate raw bison liver on camera for The Revenant.<\/p>\n<p>The honest answer is that DiCaprio has never once said he&rsquo;s vegan, or even vegetarian. He&rsquo;s something else, and arguably more useful: a billionaire-adjacent backer writing checks that could make the whole animal-free food system real.<\/p>\n<style>.tiv-verdict{border-left:6px solid #e59875;background:#f8decd;padding:18px 22px;margin:28px 0;border-radius:0 14px 14px 0;color:#0a4a4a}.tiv-verdict .tiv-badge{display:inline-block;background:#c2603a;color:#fff;padding:4px 14px;border-radius:999px;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.4px;margin-bottom:8px}.tiv-verdict p{margin:8px 0 0}.tiv-check{font-size:13px;color:#0a6b6c;margin-top:10px}details.tiv-tl{border:1px solid #e5ded4;border-radius:10px;margin:10px 0;background:#fff}details.tiv-tl summary{cursor:pointer;padding:13px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#0a4a4a}details.tiv-tl[open] summary{border-bottom:1px solid #f0ebe2}details.tiv-tl .tiv-tlb{padding:12px 16px;color:#0a4a4a}.tivq{border:2px solid #29a579;border-radius:14px;padding:22px;margin:30px 0;background:#fff}.tivq .tivq-q{margin:16px 0;padding:14px;background:#f6f3ec;border-radius:10px}.tivq .tivq-q p{font-weight:600;margin:0 0 10px}.tivq button{display:block;width:100%;text-align:left;margin:6px 0;padding:11px 14px;border:1px solid #d9d2c5;border-radius:8px;background:#fff;cursor:pointer;font-size:16px;color:#0a4a4a}.tivq button.tiv-ok{background:#29a579;color:#fff;border-color:#29a579}.tivq button.tiv-no{background:#fbe9e4;border-color:#e59875}.tivq .tivq-res{display:none;font-weight:700;margin-top:14px;font-size:18px;color:#106050}<\/style>\n<div class=\"tiv-verdict\"><span class=\"tiv-badge\">QUICK ANSWER<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>No, and also not confirmed either way.<\/strong> Leonardo DiCaprio has never publicly said he's vegan or vegetarian. He reportedly gave up beef after Cowspiracy and leans plant-forward, but he's eaten meat on camera. What he clearly is: one of the biggest celebrity investors in plant-based and cultivated-meat companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tiv-check\">Last fact-checked: July 7, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The myth, and where it came from<\/h2>\n<p>The &ldquo;DiCaprio is vegan&rdquo; idea has one main source, and it&rsquo;s secondhand. In a 2019 piece, musician Moby described him as a &ldquo;bold-faced vegan.&rdquo; DiCaprio never confirmed it. The one dietary change actually on record comes from Cowspiracy co-director Keegan Kuhn, who said Leo gave up beef after the 2014 film but &ldquo;didn&rsquo;t appear to have gone fully vegan.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Against that, the counter-evidence is vivid: for The Revenant he ate raw bison liver on camera, a scene vegans quote precisely because it&rsquo;s the opposite of the label. So the accurate picture is a plant-leaning eater who&rsquo;s never made a vegan claim, not a secret vegan.<\/p>\n<h2>Where he&rsquo;s undeniably powerful<\/h2>\n<p>Forget the plate for a second, because this is the real story. DiCaprio is one of the most active celebrity investors in the future of food:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Beyond Meat, investor and advocate since 2017<\/li>\n<li>Mosa Meat and Aleph Farms, cultivated (lab-grown) meat, invested and advising since 2021<\/li>\n<li>Perfect Day, animal-free dairy proteins, advisory council<\/li>\n<li>Neat Burger, the vegan chain Lewis Hamilton co-founded, a strategic investor in its 2022 raise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>His reasoning is climate, stated plainly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2021\/09\/22\/leonardo-dicaprio-invests-lab-based-meat\">via Axios<\/a>: &ldquo;One of the most impactful ways to combat the climate crisis is to transform our food system.&rdquo; He&rsquo;s told his tens of millions of followers to swap meat for plant-based at least once a week. That&rsquo;s not a vegan diet. It might be more consequential than one.<\/p>\n<h2>The vegan-adjacent timeline, tap to expand<\/h2>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>2014: Cowspiracy, and beef out<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">He executive-produces the documentary and reportedly gives up beef afterward.

Aus S\u00fcddeutschland, besser gesagt aus dem Schwarzwald, seit 2019 Gr\u00fcnder von This Is Vegan, mittlerweile in Bali zuhause. Von hier aus treibe ich Tierschutzprojekte voran und reise um die Welt. Vegetarier bin ich seit dem 6. Lebensjahr, vegan seit \u00fcber 20 Jahren. Mein Ansatz war nie, Leuten ein schlechtes Gewissen zu machen. Sondern zu zeigen, wie einfach, lecker und entspannt vegan im Alltag funktioniert. Anziehung statt Ablehnung. Genau daf\u00fcr gibt's dieses Online-Magazin und den Plantbased Podcast: Menschen inspirieren, sich f\u00fcr Tiere und Umwelt stark zu machen und vegan zu leben.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.this-is-vegan.com","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yannick.haldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/yannickhaldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.de\/thisisvegan_magazin\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@thisisvegan"],"knowsAbout":["vegane Ern\u00e4hrung","holistische Gesundheit","Ern\u00e4hrung","vegane Rezepte","Kampfsport","Kraftsport","Proteine"],"knowsLanguage":["deutsch","englisch","franz\u00f6sisch","indonesisch"],"jobTitle":"Gr\u00fcnder","url":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/author\/yannick\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40660"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40680,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40660\/revisions\/40680"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40660"},{"taxonomy":"ernaehrungsform","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ernaehrungsform?post=40660"},{"taxonomy":"schwierigkeit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schwierigkeit?post=40660"},{"taxonomy":"schaerfe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schaerfe?post=40660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
