‘The Spy Next Door’ Star Is Vegetarian

Published by PETA.

Everyone who has seen Jackie Chan’s latest action-comedy, The Spy Next Door, should recognize the adorable face in our newest Q&A video. Six-year-old Alina Foley plays Nora, the youngest of the three kids whom CIA superspy Bob (played by Chan) looks after while his girlfriend/next-door neighbor is out of town. For those of you who haven’t seen the movie yet, I shall say no more. However, Alina is quite the scene-stealer.

When we found out that this spunky young actor was vegetarian, we couldn’t wait to sit down with her. Alina didn’t hesitate to let us know why she chose to give up meat and how other kids can work to get vegetarian lunch options offered in their school cafeterias. She also spilled about her two dogs, Bella and Jasmine. Too cute! Young people who take action always tug at my heartstrings—how about yours?
