Evanna Lynch
Harry Potter to Vegan Activism
In this episode we talk about how Evanna coped with fame after starring in the Harry Potter movies, where she gained acclaim for her “spellbinding” performance starring in the role as Luna Lovegood.
We also discuss her position as the “creative one” in the family, her struggle with her identity and battle with an eating disorder growing up, and how she now celebrates her body through aerial yoga at studios like Flying Fantastic.
She explains how her struggle with anorexia made going vegan tricky at first. “It was bringing up a lot of weirdness and guilt around food”, she says, but after discovering the “crowding out method” where you add vegan options in before removing anything from your diet, she started to build a healthy relationship with food.
“Before, food was all about calories and what it would do to my body”, she says, “but with veganism, it became about something more than me and myself, it was about a cause and being more aligned with who I was”.
