It’s pretty common for young Hollywood stars to lead crazy lives off-screen. Take Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, for instance. You’re more likely to find them dancing on tables than veging out at home on a Friday night. Or a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday night, for that matter.
But the actress Kirsten Dunst says she is different. She would rather stay in and do nothing than go out and be wild. She is a famous movie star who has appeared in films like Spider Man. But when she isn’t working, she likes to veg out.
The expression veg out comes from the word vegetable. A vegetable doesn’t do much. It just sits around on the table or in your refrigerator. So someone who acts like a vegetable by veging out doesn’t do anything but sit around.
Do you like to veg out, or do you prefer to be active during your free time?
