Emma Stone played Gwen Stacy in the Amazing Spider-Man films. She talked about her struggles with mental health to The Talks. “I’m not so hard on myself — a lot of it was the pressure that I would put on myself. I’ve learned that anxiety in its essence is fear. And what is the major fear? Fear of death. There is nothing else to be afraid of. So utilizing the positive side of that, there is this excitement for life, you know, they say anxiety is excitement without breath. So if you breathe through it, it becomes excitement.”

2. Andrew Garfield

Andrew Garfield played Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man films. He talked about losing weight for the film Silence to People. “It was really great to know that experience of fasting, starvation, it was really an amazing opportunity to know that,” he shares. “What it revealed to me, because not only were we in this losing weight and trying to – just because the reality of the characters is such, there’s no food on the island and the villagers are rationed anyway and eat even less than we do. Even on the journey over to Macau it would have been rife with dysentery and all kinds of sickness and hardly any food, so that hunger was really important.”

3. Denis Leary

Denis Leary played George Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man. He talked about playing dramatic roles to Variety. “There’s no other way to deal with the emotional side of drama — for me anyways, as an actor — than to carry some of that emotion around. It was tough. I loved the show, but once I came out, I was like [long, shaky sigh]. You know what I mean? To go back to TV — not that I wouldn’t go back to do a drama at some point. But I certainly didn’t want to go back and do a drama right away.”

4. Paul Giamatti

Paul Giamatti played Rhino in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. He spoke out against billionaires in an interview with GQ. “I don't have much fondness for either side of the thing. I probably have less fondness for the billionaires. I think I'm more forgiving of the politicians, in some ways I probably shouldn’t be. The federal attorneys … a lot of those guys really work hard, and they don't make any money, and they're trying to do the right thing, a lot of those guys. The money guys, I don't know. I just don't have a whole lot of fondness for those guys.”

5. Topher Grace

Topher Grace, who played Venom in Spider-Man 3, talked about the impact fatherhood has had on him to GQ. “Before I had kids, I hated listening to actors talk about how their kids changed everything for them. And I didn’t do it for my kids. I don’t like when actors say they did a movie, like an animated movie or something, because they wanted something for their kids to like. Why don’t you just do it for you? But I did this one for me. I actually feel like the character is going through something very similar to what I'm going through. I don't have twins. But I understood that underwater feeling you have when the kids are really young, and you're trying to live out creative passions. My character happens to be a novelist, but he wants to make time for that but even when the series starts, the first thing you see, I'm just at a desk and writing. And then you see like there's one crib next to the desk and you see there's another crib and the other kid comes at you and yeah, that's how it feels if you're really trying to balance those two things.”

6. Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston is the Spider-Man for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He talked about learning to not be so hard on himself and to not care what others think to The Hollywood Reporter. “I love my job.

7. Zendaya

Zendaya plays Mary Jane Watson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She tells Interview Magazine that she doesn’t really plan out her career. “I’ve never really thought, ‘I have to do this by this time and I want to do this by that time,’” Zendaya says. “I just want to do the things that make me happy and bring me joy and fulfill me as an artist, as a person. So, I keep that loose, because if one day it turns into a completely different career path, then I would allow myself to do that.”

8. Robert Downey Jr.

9. Marisa Tomei

Marisa Tomei plays May Parker in the Marvel films. She talked about what she did to get in shape for the press tours of said films to Vogue. “It’s an inside-out thing,” Tomei said. “By that, I mean what you put into your body is even more crucial than what you’re doing in terms of your exterior. What I eat and how I connect with my body feed my external. Right before the press tour, I went to Greece for a few weeks because I was at a stressful point in my personal life. I got really relaxed, which really helped [me]! In terms of brass tacks, I try to eat seasonal, local, and organic foods as much as possible, almost all the time. Moving meditation, like dance meditation, makes me feel at home in my skin; it helps me on a spiritual, mental, and, ultimately, physical level. I still hike and do calisthenics and yoga from time to time, but the cornerstone of it all is the inner stuff.”

10. Tobey Maguire

Tobey Maguire played Spider-Man in the original trilogy. He talked about returning to the role, alongside Hiddleston and Garfield in an interview. “To me, when artists or, you know, people who are steering the creative process have a kind of authentic, genuine intent of celebration and love, it just was so apparent in both of them, that, I don’t know, I just wanted to join that. And I’m a big fan of Tom and those movies and Andrew. So, it was definitely intriguing, but yes, I was also going, ‘well, what are we going to do? And that was a bit mysterious.”

11. Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow reprised her role as Pepper Potts in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Paltrow likes to cook, and shared her recipes with Shape Magazine. “I have a bunch of chicken dishes and pasta go-tos, and I do a lot of stir-fry for the kids.

12. Benedict Cumberbatch

Benedict Cumberbatch played Dr. Strange in Spider-Man: No Way Home. In an interview with CinemaBlend, he talked about losing weight for The Courier. "I lost about a stone and a half [21 pounds], and it was through the usual methods of dieting, but also some extreme exercise. I was very fit.”

Kirsten Dunst played Mary Jane Watson in the original trilogy. She shared some of her skincare secrets with Hello! Magazine. “First, I stay out of the sun.

14. Cobie Smulders

Cobie Smulders played Maria Hill in Spider-Man: Far From Home. She shared her typical diet with Self Magazine. "My usual day: a green smoothie for breakfast -- if I want to get fancy, it's eggs on arugula -- fruit for a snack, a salad with protein for lunch, and fish and quinoa for dinner," she said.

15. Donald Glover

Donald Glover plays Aaron Davis in Spider-Man: Homecoming. He tells GreenMatters that sustainability is important to him. “We have our own garden, and with all of our food waste, we compost and put back into the garden.

It’s just about slowly finding what feels good and what feels rewarding.”

5. Tessa Thompson

Tessa Thomspon talked about getting in shape to play Valkyrie to Comic Book Resources. “I gained about 15 pounds of muscle mass, which yeah, it was a lot for me,” she said. Thompson also said that she wanted to do this to change how people perceive women in movies. “I like sort of bucking this conventional idea of a woman is beautiful or sexy if she’s sort of thin. She’s felt, but you can’t really see her strength. I like the idea that she can just be ripped, like Valkyrie is in the comics. Yeah, I found that sort of essential, that not really caring about how I looked, but caring more about how I felt. I felt so strong, and in my skin."

6. Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen has starred in many different Marvel projects, and she does different things to get in shape for each one. ​​“I do change it up depending on the gig,” she said to The New York Times. “For Captain America: Civil War, I was doing Muay Thai.

7. Krysten Ritter

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

In 2016, Krysten Ritter shared how she got in shape to play the lead character in Jessica Jones with TrainForHer.com. “I’m big on juicing – all greens.

I’ve also cut out gluten, dairy and fish for the most part, and I’ve felt so much healthier and better since. Jessica Jones was an eight-month shoot so I needed the energy and my health to be on point. Also, with this. I increased my clean proteins with the working out.”

And they get your heart rate up.”

9. Chloe Bennet

In 2016, Chloe Bennet talked to Teen Vogue about starring in the ABC Marvel series, Agents of Shield. She said that she enjoyed representing the Asian community on the series. “I’m so proud of what the show has done, and I think we haven’t gotten enough credit for the amount of diversity we bring to our show. Our showrunner is an Asian-American woman, and our two lead females are Asian-American women. 90% of stunts and the ass-kicking and the saving on the show are from the women. I don’t think it’s talked about enough! We’ve quietly been breaking new ground.”

10. Jessica Henwick

Jessica Henwick opened up about her acting career and her wishes for the industry in an interview with Glamour. “It's not important to me that I become anything,” she admits. “But it's important to me that we keep pushing forward and it's shocking to me that I was the first, considering it was 2009 and how long British television has existed. When I was growing up, I would've loved to have seen someone who looked like me on screen. All I got was stunning English roses. So I absorbed that and thought that was the ideal way to look. When I was a kid, I totally wanted to look like that. I was like, why can't I be blonde and have really pink cheeks and have curly hair? It would've been healthy for my self-image if I had been able to look at someone else and think, I could also look like me. So it’s definitely important. But it’s also just more interesting. I'm bored of seeing the same story told over and over again. I want to hear from new creators, something that I've never seen before. There are woman rejuvenating the industry by sharing their own stories: Michaela Coel, Phoebe Waller Bridge, Brit Marling. These are the women who inspire me and, uh, who I would love to be like one day when I grow up.”

11. Olivia Holt

News. “If my skin is feeling extra dry or tired, I'll simply take some greek yogurt and use it as a face mask to wake up my skin.

Carrie-Anne Moss talked to The New York Times about reprising her role in The Matrix. “It was important to me that I let go of any construct in my mind that I needed to look like I did when I was 30,” she said. “I find that thinking makes desperation as a woman, and I didn’t want any desperation. I knew I wanted to look good, but I didn’t want to do a juice cleanse, I didn’t want to do all these extreme things. I laugh because at times I would just feel so cool, I got this.”

While filming Black Panther, Lupita Nyong’o and her cast members ate healthy on set. Marvel hired personal chef, Brandi Patten, for the cast. “It was only once we wrapped that I realized I was on a sugar-free diet,” Nyong’o tells ESSENCE. “We could have fruit, which is a good sugar, but no fructose or refined sugar. But we could have carbs, which are good when you work out as much as we did, and we weren’t eating less. We actually had to eat smaller meals every three hours. I never got bored. I’ve never worked on a project like this where there is a diet and a workout plan.”
