Hong Kong - Hong Kong singer-actress Faye Wong has been voted Asia's sexiest vegetarian female in a survey by an animal rights group Wednesday.

Bollywood star Amitabh Bachan was voted Asia's sexiest vegetarian male in the poll conducted among members of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

Runners-up in the competition included Taiwanese drama star Barbie Xu, Hong Kong actress Maggie Q and Cantopop singer and actress Stephy Tang.

Outside Asia, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, pop star Leona Lewis and camp British TV host Russell Brand were among the celebrities who polled most votes as sexiest vegetarians.

PETA Asia-Pacific director Jason Baker said: "Going vegetarian is the best thing you can do for animals, the earth and your health. Plus there's no easier way to stay slim and sexy - and Faye and Amitabh are living proof."
