Katherine Langford played lead character Hannah Baker on the first two seasons. She shared her skincare secrets with Glamour. “I love a hyaluronic acid serum, L’Oreal Paris does a really good one – the Revitalift Filler – and then I usually have a vitamin C and a moisturiser over the top. Then, still sunscreen, of course. I'd say that that's my go-to. And it will change and evolve depending on what I feel like that day.”

2. Brenda Strong

Brenda Strong, who plays Nora Walker, wants to speak out about women’s health issues, and took part in a campaign for Pfizer. “It evolved into really helping women transition through every age and stage in their lives in a graceful, easy way,” Strong told Medical Daily. “Because life is not always easy for us women — many of us struggle to have children or have difficult pregnancies. Now that I’m at or around that age where menopause is one of those stages, I started realizing there was not a lot I personally knew about it, and I was so happy I had the opportunity to not only learn more myself so I could work with other women, but to do it in a way that was funny and create this video with Pfizer for their ‘Let’s Talk About Change Campaign.’”

3. Kate Walsh

Kate Walsh played Olivia Baker on the first three seasons of the show. She tells Coveteur that she makes sure to stay hydrated. “Clearly [I drink a lot of water]—I bring my own water cooler. Lemon is great because the alkaline balances your body. I feel like I’m winning if I drink one of these [jugs] a day, plus a couple more glasses. This will make you do it. It’s like a giant sippy cup. Nikki Glaser is like, ‘You actually bring your own water cooler—we’re having a water cooler conversation right now because you brought yours with you.’”

4. Alisha Boe

Alisha Boe played Jessica Davis on the show. She shared her self-care secrets with Yahoo Life. “It’s a lifelong journey. I remind myself to write down positive affirmations and to care for others — which is a huge practice for me. When I take care of the people I love, I feel loved back... [I also] reach out to my support system when I'm feeling down.”

5. Samantha Logan

Samantha Logan played Nina Jones on season 2 of the show. She revealed to Backstage.com that she believes in saying no to things. “It’s about saying no, too. I’ve had to say no to a lot of things that just didn't resonate with me. I was like, ‘You know what? The right thing for me is gonna come. And I’m gonna believe in that.’ In this industry, you’re going to hear a lot of rejection, as well. And that's OK. That kind of builds character, and it also sets you on a path for success. Because the universe is just lining you up for exactly what is meant for you. And just have fun! We’re telling stories! It’s the arts! We’re having fun! It’s not as serious as the industry tries to make it out to be sometimes. Have fun with it and play. We’re actors, man.”

6. Ross Butler

Ross Butler played Zach Dempsey on the show. He talked about his secrets for getting in shape for roles to Men’s Health. “When I was prepping for Shazam, I met with Thomas DeLauer who’s my nutritionist, and he gave me this crazy diet plan,” he said. “If I’m going to somewhere where I know there’s good food, I’ll prep my body.”

7. Miles Heizer

Miles Heizer, who played Alex Standall, talked about therapy and mental health in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve gotten a lot of help from other people when I didn’t feel like I could talk to my friends or family. I started going to therapy when I was 18 [after] having personal struggles that I didn’t feel comfortable talking to my friends or family about. There are just some things you don’t want to talk to certain people about. Once I went through therapy it completely changed my life.”

8. Brandon Flynn

Brandon Flynn played the role of Justin Foley for the entire series. He likes to do outdoor activities to stay in shape. Flynn shared this set of photos on Instagram. In them, he is seen kayaking and swimming. Flynn captioned the post, “Islands in the stream.”

Sosie Bacon played Skye Miller on the show’s first two seasons. She is the daughter of actors Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon. She revealed what advice they’ve given her to Marie Claire. “The best advice has been about my life and my acting. They always teach me to be honest and true to myself in my career and in real life, and to always work hard.”

10. Parminder Nagra

Parminder Nagra played Priya Singh on the show. She works with trainer, Thalia Thomas to keep herself in shape. "Parminder always looks for a fast, effective way to strengthen but also lengthen her muscles," says Thomas to SELF. "With her busy schedule, she has limited time and needs to make every hour count, so doing SomaSculpt helps her get her Pilates-inspired exercises done but, at the same time, work on her cardiovascular system and spot train problem areas.

11. Kelli O’Hara

Kelli O’Hara played Jackie in the second season of the show. She revealed to SELF that she loves to run. “I started running when I was 12 or 13 years old, just getting out and running in a way that felt like therapy, where I could think things out,” she says. “When I was in my 20s, I would run Central Park all the time, or Riverside Park. That was always my form of exercise and relaxation. But it was more like six miles—it was never 26.2.”

Henry Cavill shared some of his wellness secrets with GQ. He says that he likes to take a lot of workout supplements, and shared his favorites. “I feel like grass-fed whey protein is too much of an easy answer because that's my diet basically. That's an absolute necessity. I can't travel without it. But moving on from that, actually it’s the Shatter Elite pre-workout. That stuff is really good. I’m working silly hard most of the time, getting up at the crack of dawn or way before dawn and then working all the way through it. Especially when you're really, really tired, it does give you a really good pick up and kick up the ass to get into the gym.”

2. Chris Hemsworth

In an interview with GQ, Chris Hemsworth talked about what it’s like starring in Marvel projects, and how he deals with criticism of those projects. “I don’t love when we start scrutinising each other when there’s so much fragility in the business and in this space of the arts as it is… I say that less to the directors who made those comments, who are all, by the way, still my heroes, and in a heartbeat I would leap to work with any of them. But I say it more to the broader opinion around that topic.”

3. Ruby Rose

Ruby Rose is open about being a vegan, and talked about her diet in an interview. “When I’m exhausted and have a full day and just want a hamburger, I’ll just make an Impossible burger or Beyond Meat. I don’t love meat, but it’s the idea of a hamburger. It’s a form of junk food I want and need, but it’s still good for me. Fries and a burger.”

4. Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa works with trainer, Damien Viera, to help him stay in shape. Viera opened up about their process in an interview with Men’s Journal. “We're looking at movements in scripts that are a year out. It’s very bespoke. There’s no fat in what we do, it’s all a line in Jason’s performance. In broad strokes, everything we do is good for exactly what he's doing.”

5. Gal Gadot

Gal Gadot makes sure she eats a healthy diet. She opened up about this in an interview with Good Housekeeping. “I try to eat healthy yet balanced. I don't like to deprive myself of anything. I believe in balance in everything, by the way. I love to cook, and I’ve always been a foodie…Since I’m from the Middle East, I’m very much all about the Mediterranean diet. I look at food as fuel, and I want to give the best to my body so I try to eat healthy on most days."

6. Taylor Schilling

Taylor Schilling is a big fan of journaling. She opened up about this in an interview with Vogue. "If I wake up and write out whatever is clogging up my thinking—fears, worries, whatever it is—that by the time I’m done writing, I’m a little more focused on what I want to have happen."

7. Dacre Montgomery

In an interview with Men’s Health, Dacre Montgomery revealed how he got in shape for his role in Stranger Things. “I wanted to do this meatier, chunkier jock thing so I still worked out a ton, but I also did a lot of boxing and ate heaps. My carb intake was higher, my meat intake was higher and I just built this chunkier, more muscly version of myself.”

8. Laura Prepon

In 2016, Laura Prepon gave an interview to People to promote her book The Stash Plan. “When I got to my early twenties, I started having issues with my digestion,” Prepon said. “I was gaining weight just when I didn’t need to be, and my energy levels started to plummet. Not to mention I was bloated and puffy most days. I had just started working on That ’70s Show and was very worried, so I became obsessed with reading diet and health books, looking for answers. I have stacks of them in my house!”

9. David Harbour

David Harbour’s trainer, David Higgins, talked about how the actor stays in shape in an interview with GQ. “We implemented a 24 hour fast from Sunday evening to Monday night for four weeks. David really got into it. I think the longest fast he did was 48 hours a few times, just to see how it would go.”

10. Alison Brie

Alison Brie opened up about her process of getting in shape for GLOWin an interview. “A lot of women, especially in my profession, feel like they have to starve themselves to lose weight. I’ve certainly felt that way in the past. But while training for the show, I was eating more than ever and I’ve never felt better.”

11. Anya Taylor-Joy

Anya Taylor-Joy talked about how she balances her busy schedule in an interview with Tatler. “I don’t have time to be a 25-year-old with a hangover. But I’m not someone who needs a drink to dance. Basically I’ve become very efficient at everything. I’m like ‘What do I need out of this situation?’ I need to dance for a couple of hours, see my friends and have a good time’, so I’m like ‘Right, let’s bang it out.’ Then it’s: go home, have a bath, get up for work. I sound mental, but that’s what’s working for me right now.”

12. Ross Butler

Ross Butler opened up about his workout routine in an Instagram post from 2018. He captioned it, “7 weeks into this workout and diet regiment! Body did a total 180, so insane. @thomasdelauer is a wizard. #workoutwednesday.”

13. Emma Mackey

Emma Mackey talked about working on Sex Education in an interview with whimn.com. “Work-wise, it’s given us more of a leg up in terms of working with interesting scripts and getting to do some good work, which is what we want to do at the end of the day. It’s a really nice position to be in, but yeah. It’s kind of mad. But I’m grateful for it, and I’m just taking it step by step, you know?”

14. Naomi Watts

Naomi Watts shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. "I try to work out as often as I can, but I'm not fanatical about fitness,” she said. “My back carries most of my tension and if I'm stressed I can't do high-impact exercise, so yoga and Pilates tend to work better for me."

15. Penn Badgely

Penn Badgley

In an interview with GQ, Penn Badgely opened up about his career. He says that having valuable relationships is crucial. “Every relationship you have – every single one, down to your parents, your children, and everybody outside of that – it influences every single relationship in ways that are always unpredictable and a bit tricky. And then everywhere you go, that happens.”

16. Tom Ellis

In order to play the title character in Lucifer, Tom Ellis worked with Paolo Mascitti. “Tom didn’t really do pullups as part of his sessions before we started working together,” Mascitti told Men’s Journal. “Now he loves them, and likes to push himself as far as how many more he can do every time. That's just an example of the ways he's really taken to the challenge.”

17. Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox has amazing skin, and she shared some of her favorite products and tips with Allure. “Olay Regenerist has an eye depuffer — I love their eye creams. There's an eye roller from L'Oréal [that's also] a depuffer. So it's those things from the drugstore. I also love that the press-on [nails] are getting so good. The Kiss press-ons you can get, you glue them on — they're so good. When I'm in a pinch, I love going to the drugstore for them.”

18. Katherine Langford

In this Instagram post, Katherine Langford spoke out about climate change. She captioned the post, “The difference between 1.5C, 2C or 3-4C average global warming can sound marginal. In fact, they represent vastly different scenarios for the future of humanity. The frequency of disasters, the survival of plants and animals, the spread of diseases, the stability of our global climate system and - ultimately - the possibility for humanity to survive on this planet hinge on these few degrees.”

19. Omar Sy

In an interview with The Guardian, Omar Sy talked about his parents and how proud and close he is to them. “I think it builds your relationship with your parents when you have to explain to people who they are and what they do for a living. It makes you think about who they are beneath the jobs. It connects you to them. I remember having to explain what my mum did when I was Tidiane’s age. When I told people she was a cleaner… Well, I went through different stages with that. For a long time I was ashamed. Then, growing up, explaining it over and over, something changed. Talking about my mum and her life made me feel more connected to her. Expressing stuff helped me to realise things. And I was so proud of her.”

20. Charlize Theron

In an interview with Red Online, Charlize Theron talked about how she was raised, and what she wants to instill in her children. “I was very lucky to be raised by a single parent who wanted that for me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without that kind of a backbone. I learnt that from a very young age…Look, nothing bad comes from telling your children to pick themselves up and use the things that happen to them as lessons, rather than things that will define then. I don’t want anything to ever define my children.”

Fine shared Apa’s workout routine to The New York Post, and he specifically did prison-style workouts with the actor. “With KJ, we did a lot of that, and weights with really high repetitions. We did a lot of chest and shoulders — with actors, you want to stick with chest and shoulders — since on-camera, it looks better.”

2. Lili Reinhart

Lili Reinhart, who played Betty Cooper, talked about how she embraces acne in an interview with Byrdie. “It's just a matter of telling myself that the only person who's bothered by this is me. Once you can embrace that and accept that, it's easier to just let go of it. I also obsess and can't stop looking in the mirror at my breakout, so when I convince myself to put my phone away, stop looking at my reflection, stop looking at a mirror, you forget about it."

3. Camila Mendes

Camila Mendes played Veronica Lodge on Riverdale. She shared some of her skincare tips in an interview with Glamour. Mendes says that she makes sure to remove all the makeup she wears on set. “I swear by Dr. Kay’s Wipe Away the Day Treatment Pads. They provide my skin with much needed exfoliation after a long day of wearing heavy makeup on set, and I’ll often follow that up with a soothing Loops mask like Night Shift. The Eminence Organics Stone Crop Hydrating Mist is also one of my recent favorites. I like to spray a few spritzes of that on a cotton pad and wipe my face with it after cleansing. Not only does it remove all the extra product residue on my skin, but it also smells incredible.”

4. Cole Sprouse

Cole Sprouse, who played Jughead Jones, took fitness advice from his co-star, KJ Apa. “It’s good being on a show with people like KJ who are monsters,” he said to People. “He’s ripped, he’s been ripped since he was like 10, so it’s nice going to the gym with dudes like that because I just mimic what they are doing and by proxy I get an exercise I never thought I would be able to get, which is one of the perks of being on a teen drama!”

5. Madelaine Petsch

Madelaine Petsch played fan-favorite character, Cheryl Blossom, on Riverdale. She broke down her diet and exercise routine to People. Petsch says that she has a vegan diet. “I’ve been plant-based my whole life. Being vegan keeps my body fueled and running smoothly.”

6. Ashleigh Murray

Ashleigh Murray, who plays Josie McCoy, shared her skincare routine with POPSugar. “I'm not married to any serum. Whatever works. For my moisturizer, I sometimes use a combination of essential oils, like jojoba and coconut and a little bit of juniper sometimes, a little bit of lavender; definitely tea tree for that acne. And if not that, than just any yummy thing from Lush. I love Lush. And sunscreen from Murad. This is good for all the brown girls that don't want to get that horrible ghost face or anyone that doesn't want ghost face — it's called Murad Invisablur Perfecting Shield. It's a clear chemical sunscreen and it has mattifying properties too. It doubles as a primer. It's bomb.”

7. Charles Melton

Charles Melton, who played Reggie Mantle, opened up about his wellness to GQ. “I’ve just finished three months of not eating any red meat, after I spoke to a nutritionist. The plan he put me on has been life-changing and improved my relationship with food. It sounds like it could be tedious but I take pictures of everything I eat, creating a food diary on my phone. I have yet to have any KBBQ, but when I do it has to be the best red meat.”

8. Vanessa Morgan

Vanessa Morgan played Toni Topaz on Riverdale, and eventually became a larger character. She talked about her approach to skincare to WhoWhatWear. “It's key not to neglect your body. I always keep my face moist. The body moisturizer from Gold Bond is great for that because they have a lot of products that are good for dehydrated skin. So that's key when you're in the sun so even if I'm not the best with my sunscreen as long as my skin is moisturized, it doesn't flake or peel and I find I look young.”

9. Drew Ray Tanner

In addition to playing Fangs Fogarty on Riverdale, Drew Ray Tanner starred in the film Work It. He shared his training process in an interview with Men’s Health. "We called it a 21-Day No Days Off program," says Tanner. "Essentially it was cardio in the morning, then in the afternoon it would be strength and conditioning training. If there was a day off, it would be like a 15 mile run. Then I got to have a no run day the next day–but still did strength and conditioning."

10. Madchen Amick

In addition to playing Alice Cooper, Madchen Amick also has her own website. She opened up about her diet in this post. “I spend so much time and energy on eating clean. Organic, pesticide-free, non-GMO, non-hormone, etc. We have medial grade air-filters in our house to keep the air we breath as clean as possible. We not only filter our drinking water but also our bathing water. Carefully choose non-toxic and environmentally friendly cleaning products. Use alternative building products for our home, like toxic-free milk paint, wood stains and insulation. And the list goes on.”

11. Marisol Nichols

Marisol Nichols played Hermione Lodge, Veronica’s mother, on Riverdale. She tells Women’s Health that when it comes to her diet, she has to enjoy the food she eats. “My food philosophy is this: You’re not going to stick with any lifestyle change unless it tastes good. Otherwise it’s torture. And why would you do that to yourself?”

12. Mark Consuelos

Mark Consuelos played Hiram Lodge, Veronica’s criminal mastermind father on Riverdale. One thing he likes to do to keep himself in shape is swim. He shares a bunch of posts on Instagram of himself in the water. In this photo, Consuelos is seen diving into the ocean. He captioned the post, “Headfirst.. Back to work. See you all tomorrow.”

13. Skeet Ulrich

Skeet Ulrich played FP Jones on Riverdale. He did a “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me” interview with Us Weekly. In it, Ulrich shared some of his diet secrets. “I’m almost a vegan. My daughter is wisely vegan, and I’m trying hard to join her… I love to cook. My favorite meal to cook is vegan lasagna with sweet potatoes and mushrooms.”

14. Molly Ringwald

Shutterstock

Molly Ringwald, who played Mary Andrews, wrote an essay in Marie Claire about her beauty mark and what it taught her. “I like to imagine you were teaching me a lesson: Here is beauty, but don't get too attached. And that goes for all of it. One day, the same breasts whose arrival is first heralded with bewilderment, shyness, and excitement will grow and then shrink after babies. They'll become something else. Not bad, just different. Everything that's big will become smaller, and what we want to remain small will grow bigger. Even our ears will grow. Fingers will begin to become crooked from multiple injuries, and the arches in our feet will fall. Everything that we ever found beautiful about ourselves in the mirror, no matter how long we manage to delay it, will eventually go under the category of a ‘different kind of beauty.’ Every day I practice being OK with that.”

15. Robin Givens

Robin Givens talked about playing Sierra McCoy in an interview with TooFab. "I think it is unbelievably important that people who look like me are represented on television," Givens said. "I used to be competitive in academics and there wasn't really division, but [racial division] is considered to be okay in this industry and I think it's important that everyone feels they are included and represented. I'm very proud to be a part of a show that represents diversity and America in every way."
