“Quite Depressing”: Lewis Hamilton Lets Out a Pained Gasp When Sacrificing $7 Forbidden Fruit for His Vegan Lifestyle

Being one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, there is hardly anything in the world Lewis Hamilton cannot buy. The Briton has been a public figure since 2007 and earns millions through endorsements alone. His luxury lifestyle and massive car collection are reminiscent of that.

However, even the British world champion, who is worth $285 million dollars, cannot buy a few things. These things are not necessarily expensive. In fact, one thing that Hamilton cannot even touch retails at a mere $7 dollars and is available at most grocery stores.

The thing in question is a jar of Nutella, which he loves.

Hamilton adopted a vegan-based diet back in 2017 because of the health benefits. A vegan diet does not allow any dairy, and the Mercedes man is a big fan of dairy products. Not just a speculation, Hamilton revealed his love for dairy and Nutella during his vlog in Monaco.

“I got to lose weight. Don’t we all?” said Hamilton during his grocery shopping vlog from Monaco. However, as soon as he spotted Nutella’s shelf, the Brit let out a big cry and said, “I love Nutella! I haven’t had Nutella in so long and I love it so much, dammit!”

“Nutella has dairy in it, so I can’t have any freaking dairy. I’m like walking through all the fun aisles here and I can’t have any of this stuff. Quite depressing,” he added.

Just an average day in the life of a high-functioning athlete like Lewis Hamilton.
