Rodriguez 'planning to become vegetarian'

Michelle Rodriguez has revealed that she plans to become a vegetarian.

The Machete actress, who will embark on a sea journey with marine conservationist Paul Watson to protest illegal fishing and whaling, has insisted that she does not want to be labelled a "hypocrite" for continuing to eat meat, reports Contact Music.

The 32-year-old said: "I'm not [a vegetarian] but I will have to be because on the ship, it's a vegan ship - you can't be a hypocrite; you can't be sitting there trying to save animals and then killing them. That's just weird."

She added: "I have a tendency not to think before I do things, which you know what, it really adds a little spice to life - because if you thought too much about things before you do them, you'd never do them."

Machete arrives in US cinemas on September 3.
