Emma Stone and her star-studded circle include some of the most celebrated names in the industry. From Stone's transformative journey in acting to Jennifer Lawrence's relentless pursuit of diverse roles, and from Tina Fey's skincare secrets to Taylor Swift's bold stance on artist rights, each story shines a light on the personal and professional ethos of these iconic figures. Join us as we delve into the inspiring narratives of Ryan Gosling's motivational training sessions, Brie Larson's skincare evolution, Olivia Colman's fitness regime, Bradley Cooper's deep connection with his characters, Michael Cera's newfound priorities as a father, Rachel Weisz's discerning career choices, and Andrew Garfield's quest for creative genius—it's not just about the glamour and fame; it's a tribute to the hard work, dedication, and passion that drive them.


1. Emma Stone

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,October,15,,2022:,Emma,Stone,ActressShutterstock

Emma Stone talked about getting into acting with The Talks. “Performing helped me as a kid to channel my energy somewhere else, to put it out instead of turning it inward. Acting is therapy, especially as a kid, it was nice to have an outlet like that when I was really struggling with panic attacks. Being on stage early on made me less afraid to try things that are challenging and scary.”

2. Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence is a close friend of Stone’s. While promoting the final Hunger Games film, Lawrence talked about wanting to work hard and get a lot of roles. “I try to keep working so people can see other characters and other things I can do instead of taking vacation time, and now I’m aging like a president. I hate waking up without a goal or going to sleep without achieving nothing.”

3. Tina Fey

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,February,24,,2019:,Tina,Fey,At,TheShutterstock

Tina Fey presented Stone with her “5 Timer’s club” host award recently on Saturday Night Live. Fey’s makeup artist Gita Bass, shared some of the actresses skincare tips, and the secrets behind her Golden Globes look with New Beauty. “On the day, I started with the All Bright C Serum, to instantly brighten the skin and add a gorgeous glow, and then the Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion to create the perfectly hydrated, dewy base for makeup,” Bass shared. “I then gently massaged the skin with the Pause Well Aging Fascia Stimulating Tool to help improve blood flow and boost collagen production.”

4. Taylor Swift

Stone is close friends with Taylor Swift. In Swift’s Time Person Of The Year interview, she talked about taking her music off Spotify, and standing up for artist’s rights to be compensated. “I’m always up for trying something. And I tried it and I didn’t like the way it felt. I think there should be an inherent value placed on art. I didn’t see that happening, perception-wise, when I put my music on Spotify. Everybody’s complaining about how music sales are shrinking, but nobody’s changing the way they’re doing things. They keep running towards streaming, which is, for the most part, what has been shrinking the numbers of paid album sales.”

5. Ryan Gosling

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,July,13,,2022:,Ryan,Gosling,AtShutterstock

Ryan Gosling worked with Stone in La La Land and Crazy, Stupid, Love. Gosling also played Ken in Barbie, and himself and his co-stars did group sessions with trainer David Higgins. “It created a ‘we’re all in it together’ kind of feeling, which helped with motivation,” Higgins said to GQ. “If one person was struggling, another might come around and say ‘Come on, let’s do this. I really loved this group of guys; they're so positive and up for up for it.”

6. Brie Larson

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,23:,Brie,Larson,actressShutterstock

​​Brie Larson is close friends with Stone, and she shared her skincare secrets with Vogue. Larson says that she has learned to use less makeup. "While I've always had a skincare routine, it has changed over the years, of course, as I've gotten older. The main thing for me was once I started being on longer jobs where I am wearing [makeup longer] … it's not just putting the makeup on; it's the constant rubbing and touching up."

7. Olivia Colman

London,,England,,Uk,-,November,28,,2023:,Olivia,Colman,AttendsShutterstock

Olivia Colman worked with Stone on The Favourite. Colman works with trainer Dalton Wong to help her stay in shape. "We trained two-to-three times a week focusing on posture, resistance training and also cardio,” Wong told Harper’s Bazaar. “She also had soft-tissue work at least every week which helped improve her flexibility and reduce tension in her body."

8. Bradley Cooper

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,07:,Bradley,Cooper,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Bradley Cooper is another friend of Stone’s. In an interview with New York Magazine, Cooper talked about how his characters and roles have made an impact on him. “You don’t move on. That’s the beauty of what I get to do. My characters live inside me. I don’t think they ever go away. It’s sort of the beauty of it.”

9. Michael Cera

Michael Cera worked with Stone in Superbad. After having his first child, Cera talked about how he’s changed since then to The Hollywood Reporter. “I think the only thing that it affects is that you just want to spend as much time with them as possible. So when I was 20, I would have been way happier to go off to some weird city and live in a hotel for three months. And when you have kids, you want to be with your family. And you miss them a lot.”

10. Rachel Weisz

Rachel Weisz is another of Stone’s co-stars in The Favourite. She talked about the changes that have happened to her to Harper’s Bazaar. "I'm lucky at this point in my career that I can choose jobs," she said. "When I started out, I just took any job that I got offered, to pay the rent. But now I can choose. When I started out, everything was interesting. Now, not everything is interesting to me; there are some things that I really want to lean in to - certain kinds of stories. And that's a lot of fun."

11. Andrew Garfield

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,15:,Andrew,Garfield,At,The,28thShutterstock

Andrew Garfield worked with Stone in the Spider-Man films, and the pair dated but remain friends. He talked about finding genius spirit and one way he tries to find it to GQ. “I’ve been surfing a lot, and whenever I surf, that’s a way of bringing it closer to me, for sure. And with work, definitely. Recently – this last period of time that we’ve been talking about – I’ve been given the gift of having that energy, that spirit, close to me.”

We found the wellness secrets of actress/guru Gwyneth Paltrow and her star-studded circle. From Paltrow's advocacy for natural products (via Goop) to Cameron Diaz's unique breakfast routine, each celebrity offers a glimpse into their health philosophies. Jennifer Garner emphasizes self-confidence, while Beyonce's rigorous stage prep is revealed. Dakota Johnson shares her diet strategy, and Ross Mathews narrates his weight loss journey. Fitness apps are Jessica Alba's go-to, while Robert Downey Jr. and Jennifer Aniston divulge their workout and fasting regimes. Rita Ora and Emma Roberts close the list, highlighting varied exercises and self-confidence insights.


1. Gwyneth Paltrow

Paltrow is vocal about her love of natural products. “Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is to read labels and know what’s in a product before putting anything in or on my body,” she said to W Magazine. “There can be so many unnecessary ingredients in products that we just don’t need, and even scarier, there are a lot of toxic, harmful ingredients that are masked by product marketing.

2. Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz is one of Paltrow’s close friends. She shared her diet secrets in an interview with Bon Appetit. “I’m a protein girl in the morning. That’s a big thing for me. A lot of my friends can't stomach breakfast, but I have a first and a second breakfast. At my first breakfast, I just put something in my stomach before my workout—usually scrambled eggs, toast, an avocado, an apple with almond butter, overnight oats, or a piece of chicken. It's just enough to kick things into gear. Then I work out. After that, at second breakfast, I joke that I eat dinner for breakfast. It's a full meal with chicken, grains, and sautéed or roasted vegetables.”

3. Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner is another close friend of Paltrow’s. Garner is all about having self-confidence. She shared her tips for building it with TODAY. "When you start getting super critical of yourself, turn around, pivot in that spot and go do something nice for someone else. Or go work out, or just take that and make it active instead of letting it just fester in you."

4. Beyonce

Beyonce and Paltrow are close friends. They are often seen hanging out, and Paltrow introduced Beyonce’s performance at the Grammys. The singer’s trainer, Marco Borges, shared her fitness secrets with Glamour. "I stretch B at the end of every workout. Sprints are ideal for building stamina and explosiveness. Which B needs to move across the stage.”

5. Dakota Johnson

New,York,,Ny,-,June,13,,2022:,Dakota,Johnson,AttendsShutterstock

Paltrow has become close friends with actress Dakota Johnson, due to the latter’s relationship with Chris Martin, Paltrow’s ex and the father of her children. Johnson works with trainer, Ramona Braganza, to help her stay in shape. To prep for Fifty Shades Freed, Braganza had Johnson try the 3-2-1 diet. “It’s just proportions, when to eat, smaller meals and more meals,” Braganza told Healthista. “So things like having three meals a day, two snacks and a minimum of one litre of water a day.”

6. Ross Mathews

Paltrow is close friends with Ross Mathews. She even wrote the backward to his book. Mathews opened up about his weight loss and diet changes to PageSix. “My choices are just like yummy, good, healthy food. I call them my 'rossipes,' and I cook every day. I broke up with pizza, and then I fell in love with the love of my life, my husband, and we just take really good care of each other.”

7. Jessica Alba

Paltrow is close with Jessica Alba, and the two filmed an episode of Carpool Karaoke together. Alba shared with Marie Claire that she uses fitness apps to help her stay in shape. “I downloaded a few apps and I'll watch YouTube videos of different fitness folks. So I signed up to [the Equinox+] app and they do meditation, they do yoga, strength training. They have all those things and you can keep track of your health."

8. Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. and Paltrow play love interests in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Downey Jr.’s trainer, Brad Bose, shared how he stays in shape to play Iron Man in an interview. “We’d do intervals on the Perfect Storm, hitting his major muscle groups from loads of different angles, then finish up with a climb on a Jacob’s Ladder – an inclined climbing treadmill to improve cardio.”

9. Jennifer Aniston

Paltrow’s close friend, Jennifer Aniston, revealed to Insider that she loves intermittent fasting. "I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours,” Aniston explained. “Fortunately, your sleeping hours are counted as part of the fasting period. You just have to delay breakfast until 10am."

10. Rita Ora

Another of Paltrow’s close friends is singer and TV host, Rita Ora. She tells Shape that she does a variety of exercises to keep herself in shape. “I usually work out for one or two hours, depending on how much time I have. I do three circuits and repeat that three times. I mostly focus on my thighs and my bum, so I do a lot of squats and weight lifting. And I do one circuit of cardio.”

11. Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts and Paltrow recently saw each other at a party. Roberts opened up about her journey with self-confidence to Shape. “I used to have a complex about being short,” Roberts says. “Now I love that I’m 5’ 2". I’m strong, and that feels really good to me. I believe we are all innately confident. I believe we lose touch with ourselves and let other people’s opinions and thoughts get louder than our own."

Angelina Jolie stands out in Hollywood not only for her remarkable talent but also for her commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This article delves into the fascinating wellness journeys of Angelina Jolie and some of her close friends and co-stars, shedding light on their skincare routines, fitness regimens, and personal philosophies on health. From Salma Hayek's determination to defy expectations to Gwen Stefani's skincare secrets, this exploration offers a glimpse into the amazing bodies and lifestyles of Jolie and her illustrious circle. Join us on this journey to discover the secrets behind these Hollywood stars' enduring radiance and vitality.


1. Angelina Jolie

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,11:,Angelina,Jolie,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Angelina Jolie has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. Her dermatologist, Rhonda Rand, told Refinery29 that the actress lets her skin breathe when she’s not working. "The thing about [Jolie] is she never wears makeup unless she’s working — it’s probably another reason her skin looks good. She’s also good about removing makeup. I know her makeup artist is super careful about what she puts on her skin and takes good care of it when she's working.”

2. Salma Hayek

Salma,Hayek,At,The,Lacma,Art+film,Gala,Presented,By,GucciShutterstock

Salma Hayek and Jolie worked on the Marvel film Eternals together. Since then, the two have developed a friendship. Hayek talked about having to work hard to achieve her career to NPR. "I have had to fight, very, very hard for every little mediocre part I ever got. They told me: You'll never work. I got to work. Then they said: It's going to be over at 35. And I'm 50. ... I take so much pleasure in proving everyone wrong. It's such a great satisfaction."

3. Ellen Pompeo

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,21:,Ellen,Pompeo,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Jolie is close friends with Ellen Pompeo. The Grey’s Anatomy star told People that she and her family went on a vegan diet together. “I don’t think it’s tricky at all — it’s actually easier because meat you have to cook it before it goes bad. Grains and lentils and rice and beans, everything’s in the pantry already. You just have to get vegetables, but vegetables stay good for a week — and I think we all feel better.”

4. Gwen Stefani

MontÈ,Carlo,,Principality,Of,Monaco,September,,26,,2019.,Gwen,StefaniShutterstock

Gwen Stefani is one of Jolie’s close friends. She’s known for having amazing skin, and shared some of her secrets in an interview with LVR Magazine. “Besides exercise and eating right, one skincare secret is hydration. I like my skin to look super dewy. It helps give your skin a youthful, moist glow.”

5. Jack Black

Jack Black worked with Jolie on the Kung Fu Panda franchise. They also spend Easters together. Black revealed on Twitter that he decided to cut out red meat for environmental reasons. “#MyEcoResolution is to stop eating red meat! I’m doing this to help limit catastrophic climate change and to support my mental health. What pledge will you take for our planet?”

6. Don Lee

Like their characters in the film Eternals, Don Lee and Jolie have a close friendship. Lee talked about his approach to fitness in an interview with Men’s Health. “At times, I’d ask myself why our family was so poor,” he says. “That is when my workouts helped me release my stress and anger. It was the only thing that I looked forward to and really enjoyed.”

7. Lauren Ridloff

Lauren Ridloff worked with Jolie in the film Eternals. The actress is an avid runner and even trained for the New York City Marathon. "It's just like getting up to brush my teeth," Ridloff told Shape. "You're not motivated to brush your teeth. It's just drilled into me...So, now that's [how I feel] about running. I get out of bed and I go for a run. It's just one of those things that I just have to do."

8. Seth Rogen

Los,Angeles,-,May,10:,Seth,Rogen,At,The,PlatonicShutterstock

Seth Rogen worked with Jolie on the Kung Fu Panda franchise. In an interview with GQ, Rogen revealed that he cut back his drinking. “Like, why am I getting blackout drunk at these things and hating myself the next day? And I think I realised I had been lied to about alcohol and that it held a place in society for the wrong reasons.”

9. Elle Fanning

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,15:,Elle,Fanning,At,The,28thShutterstock

Elle Fanning worked with Jolie in the live-action Maleficent films. She shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with Vogue. “I’m very pale so every day I wear a lot of sunscreen to stop me from burning. I wash my face morning and night, and some evenings I take a soothing salt bath. It’s a nice decompressor at the end of a long day.”

10. Gemma Chan

Gemma Chan is another of Jolie’s Eternals co-stars. Chan talked about her beauty routine to Allure. "I swear by Boots No. 7 for their skin creams. I use their Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum as well as their Early Defence Day Cream. It has UPF [Editor’s note: UPF means Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is how the Brits refer to what we call SPF], but is still a lighter formula. I use their Protect and Perfect Night Cream as well. It’s effective, super affordable. I also use the Simple Micellar Wipes. They’re great because they don’t leave an oily residue on my skin, which I can’t stand."

11. Lucy Liu

London,,United,Kingdom,-,March,07,,2023:,Lucy,Liu,AttendsShutterstock

Lucy Liu is another of Jolie’s Kung Fu Panda co-stars. She talked about wanting to prevent anti-Asian racism in the media to Women’s Health. “This proves, without a doubt, that words matter,” she says. “It clarifies that when violence happens, [it’s because] the seed has been planted through thoughts and words that give people permission to act out their frustrations and anger. People who use [racist] words, or who don't use their words to protect other people, are complicit—regardless of what side or color you represent in the political atmosphere.”

The horror genre is renowned for its spine-chilling narratives and tense atmospheres, but it's also a showcase for the talents and physiques of its stars. From mastering demanding roles, to sharing skincare routines, diet secrets, and workout regimens, these actors remain icons both on and off screen. Dive deep into the lives of these horror mavens like Amandla Stenberg, who's breaking boundaries with authentic LGBTQ+ representations, to Bella Thorne, who advocates for body positivity and personal confidence. Whether it’s challenging conventional beauty norms or embracing an all-natural skincare routine, these stars prove they are just as intriguing off screen. Dive in and get inspired by their stories and lifestyles.


1. Amandla Stenberg

Los,Angeles-,Oct,21:,Amandla,Stenberg,Arrives,For,5th,AnnualShutterstock

Amandla Stenberg talked about playing a queer character in Bodies, Bodies, Bodies to them. “It’s such a relief to be able to express that part of my identity authentically through a character and not have to conform to a different expression that is not authentic to me. What was so fun as an actor, and also as a producer, was being able to explore all the nuances of queer relationships through these characters — and being able to use my own experience and my understanding. The minutiae that I feel like we have experienced as queer people could be hilarious or meaningful. It was such a joy.”

2. Maika Monroe

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,21:,Maika,Monroe,At,The,24thShutterstock

Maika Monroe has starred in several horror movies, notably, It Follows and The Guest. She talked about how she handles those roles in an interview with IndieWire. “I’ve learned that for me, for my mental health, I have to be able to let go of it at the end of the day. A lot of the movies that I do are very dark and very intense, and it doesn’t do me any good to live in that space for longer than I needed to. For these movies, I want the characters to be grounded as possible, so to do that, [I have] to pull from my own traumas and my own experiences and that obviously is very overwhelming. But, for me, it is very important to be able to let go.”

3. Elizabeth Lail

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,10:,Elizabeth,Lail,At,The,2018Shutterstock

Elizabeth Lail has starred in Countdown and You. She shared some of her skincare secrets with Byrdie. “I’m trying to introduce more clean beauty into my routine. But more than anything I want something that works. So I also really love Murad. Their eye cream is amazing. As far as makeup, I feel like a clown when I have too much on so I like to keep it simple. I just spot correct with Clé de Peau concealer. And then I use a lot of Beautycounter because it’s a clean beauty brand. I have their mascara, brow gel, and sunscreen stick, which is great on the go. I’m just constantly on Instagram buying the next thing I see… for better or for worse.”

4. Florence Pugh

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,12:,Florence,Pugh,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Florence Pugh is known for roles in horror films like Midsommar and Don’t Worry Darling. She tells ELLE that she doesn’t believe in losing weight for roles. "I'm never losing weight to look fantastic for a role," she said. "It's more like: How would this character have lived? What would she be eating?"

5. Jessica Rothe

Jessica,Roth,Attends,The,World,Premiere,Of,"poms",At,RegalShutterstock

Jessica Rothe is known for her role in the Happy Death Day series. She tells The Hollywood Reporter that she loves to cook. “One of my favorite recipes that I made a million times during quarantine is Instant Pot zucchini bolognese. It’s a spin on the one that Meghan Markle made famous, but it has Italian sausage in it. I think it’s Italian sausage, zucchini, onion and garlic. It’s so easy and it’s so delicious. But I get it. It’s a weird, very moist, squishy vegetable. I think you just have to make sure you prepare it right.”

Don’t Be Afraid of The Dark star Bailee Madison opened up about her skincare to Byrdie. “I am a big believer in no makeup as much as I can. Set makeup is the worst because you're caked in as much powder as possible. My hair is the longest it's ever been because it's usually so damaged, but it hasn't had that much heat on it these days, and I do hair masks. And for my skin, I try to give it skin breathers. I'm old school like that from my mom. It's not that fancy, y'all! But I do love a good jade roller, though."

8. Emma Roberts

She talked about her workout routine to InStyle. “I started working out regularly when I was living in New Orleans shooting American Horror Story: Coven several years ago,” she said. “I really fell in love with the food there. To counter all I was eating, I worked out more. It was a great balance: I'd have fried-chicken sliders at night and then go to my yoga class the next morning."

9. Jane Levy

Jane Levy’s horror credits include Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe. She shared her skincare secrets in an interview with Glamour. “At night I wash my face with oil first to get rid of the makeup. There is an oil I use as face wash from Living Libations, the frankincense smell. And then after, I use the Weleda cleansing milk, which you can get at a natural food store. If I’m not wearing makeup, I usually only wash it with one or the other, but if I’m wearing makeup, I use the oil first to break down the makeup, and then the Weleda.”

10. Samara Weaving

Samara Weaving is best known for her roles in Ready or Not and The Babysitter. She shared her diet secrets with Marie Claire. “As cliché as it sounds, you’ve got to listen to your body. If I go for three days of just having fruit and vegetables, I’ll make a salad and a rice bowl for dinner and have lighter meals. The next three days I’ll have pasta and more carbs and eggs benedict for breakfast. I listen to my body and what am I really craving? As soon as you go, ‘I’m going to diet for two weeks,’ what you’re craving is what you set out not to have.”

11. Olivia Cooke

London,,United,Kingdom,-,March,19,,2018:,Olivia,Cooke,AttendsShutterstock

Ouija and The Quiet Ones star Olivia Cooke talked about her fitness routine to Byrdie. “I wish it wasn’t the case, but exercise feels like I’m shoveling serotonin and dopamine directly into my brain. It’s just a pain in the arse to force myself to do it. I can be slobbish and put it off for a few days or a week if I’m working, but then I really start to feel the effects of that mentally. Sometimes I'll do a half-hour to 45-minute blast, either following a video from Madfit on YouTube or a guided yoga class on Glo. Or, if I’m not in the mood to be told what to do, I’ll make it up as I go along listening to the radio.”

12. Joey King

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,31:,Joey,King,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

The Conjuring star, Joey King, talked about her morning routine to Byrdie. “I wake up, I pack my Gatorade and many liters of water. I eat a big breakfast: a bowl of oats with lots of fruit and some toast. I head to training, where I fuckin' go for it for a few hours. Then I have meetings to prepare for the rest of the film. Then I take a shower, shove myself in an ice bath, and then I am miserable while I'm doing that. But then I get out and sleep like a goddamn baby."

13. Haley Lu Richardson

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,4:,Haley,Lu,Richardson,At,TheShutterstock

Haley Lu Richardson is known for her role in the film Split. She talked about her skincare routine to Byrdie. “I'm very into my skincare routine and use products that are as natural as possible. I love Eminence Organics and use a face wash and exfoliator from the brand. I also use Derma-E's hyaluronic acid serum ($30). I love Starface pimple patches ($15), and then there's this brand called Squish that makes these gorgeous little floral patches with rhinestones at the center ($14). Fun pimple stickers are the best invention since sliced bread. I wish they existed when I was a teen because they make having acne fun.”

14. Sofia Boutella

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,20:,Sofia,Boutella,At,The,GoShutterstock

One of Sofia Boutella’s best known roles is for the horror film Climax. She shared her leg exercises in an interview with Coach Web. “The leg work I do is about performing one movement over and over again for long enough until the muscle goes numb – that’s when I know it’s working. It takes me around half an hour so I put on some music and repeat the exercise until I can’t feel myself doing it any more. It’s hardcore, but it’s worth it. The feeling of being able to kick with greater strength each day is empowering.”

15. Bella Thorne

Bella Thorne has starred in Keep Watching and Amityville: The Awakening. On Twitter, she encouraged her followers to not weigh themselves. “Almost every day I have been to the gym in the last 6 weeks,” Thorne wrote. “Turns out I only lost one pound of fat and gained one pound of muscle.. throw away your scales ladies because they don’t mean s**t. As long as YOU feel better and u like the way u look that’s all that matters.”

1. Natalie Portman

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,23:,Natalie,Portman,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Natalie Portman did a lot of training to prep for her role in Thor: Love & Thunder. Her trainer, Naomi Pendergast, talked about her diet to Variety. “Natalie‘s typical diet during filming would be a vegan-based breakfast of oats and berries plus a protein shake,” Pendergast said. “For lunch she would have a vegan falafel dish again with a protein shake, and for dinner, a vegan curry and protein shake. This amount of food was obviously way more than Natalie normally eats, but it was essential for her to maintain this throughout filming to keep the muscle she had developed.”

2. Chris Hemsworth

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,23:,Chris,Hemsworth,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Chris Hemsworth and Portman have played love interests in the Thor films. Hemsworth shared how he stays in shape to play the title character with Men’s Health. “I add in a lot of other sorts of movement, flexibility and functional training. Bulk is nice, but being more agile is definitely important. I’ll do a ton of boxing or Muay Thai workouts. I surf a ton and I do a lot of yoga.”

3. Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is one of Portman’s close friends. The two met on The Other Boleyn Girl set. In an interview, Johansson revealed that she wanted to meet Portman for a while. “A major part of why I joined the project, is because Natalie was involved. I’ve been a huge fan of Natalie’s for a long time, and I’ve always loved her choices and her performances. I’d never had the opportunity to work on such an even playing field with my peer. It was a great opportunity for both of us I think.”

4. Mila Kunis

New,York,,Ny,-,September,29,,2022:,Mila,Kunis,WearingShutterstock

Mila Kunis and Portman starred in Black Swan together. Since then, the two have developed a friendship. In an interview with Glamour, Kunis went bare-faced, and talked about the importance of not using photoshop and editing. “There was a company that I did a photo shoot for once that manipulated the photo so much, I was like, ‘That’s not even me.’ Like, what’s the point? You wanted my name, and then you wanted the version of me that I’m not. I absolutely hate it. Now, do I sometimes want them to depuff my eyes, help me out with a little bit of lighting? [Sure.] But do I want them to stretch my legs, thin out my waist, curve my hips, elongate my neck, blah, blah, blah? No.”

5. Eddie Redmayne

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,15:,Eddie,Redmayne,Arrives,For,2ndShutterstock

Eddie Redmayne is another friend of Portman’s. He talked about how he handles anxiety to Men’s Health. “There is an anxiety that kicks in about you wanting to serve the story well. When you’re filming you only have a few hours to get a specific scene. You are always trying to come up with all the ideas you can in a specific amount of time. There’s nothing more frustrating than coming home from work after a long day and then coming up with an interesting idea. There’s always anxiety and trepidation. I suppose it keeps me on my toes. It can be really galvanizing, but something you have to learn to control.”

6. Tessa Thompson

Santa,Monica,,Ca,-,June,16,,2018:,Tessa,Thompson,AtShutterstock

Tessa Thompson worked with Portman in Thor: Love & Thunder. To prep for the role, Thompson enlisted trainer Amanda Walker. “We were training up to six times a week and she really worked hard,” Walker told Healthista of the actress’ workout. “The sessions varied because when you are on set you can’t fit in much. We just did what we could. Sometimes it would be an hour, but most of the time it would just be 20-30 minutes of work followed by some stretching and rehab work.”

7. Jaimie Alexander

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,10:,Jaimie,Alexander,Arrives,For,‘bloodshotıShutterstock

Jaimie Alexander also worked with Portman in the Thor films. She talked about how she got in shape for the films to Shape Magazine. “I wasn't very healthy in my twenties,” Alexander admitted. “I sat around and ate a lot of crap, and my weight peaked at 150 pounds. Then I got the part in Thor. I felt as if I had a whole new purpose in life. I was like, I can do this, but I was so out of shape. Chris and I started boxing to train for our roles, and I became the athlete I was in high school. I lost 20 pounds and packed on a ton of muscle."

So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa... Now I am ready to pack a punch or be strong enough to take a brutal beating 💪#Vedaa coming to a theatre near you on August 15th.”

She Runs

She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
