Sarah Hyland played the role of Haley Dunphy. She shared some of her wellness secrets with Byrdie. She says that she loves baths and meditation. “For me, connecting spiritually with the universe is something that not only helps me calm down but helps me reflect on my life, my mood, my emotions, everything like that. Every two weeks, I do this on a new moon and a full moon: I sit down, somewhat meditate, I light a candle, I manifest, I release things (manifest on a new moon, release on a full moon) and I sit around my crystals, give myself a little Tarot reading, then take an amazing Himalayan salt bath, sometimes with bay leaves or lavender in it. I completely, energetically cleanse myself.”

Ariel Winter played Alex Dunphy on the show. She revealed her love of fitness in an interview with E! News. "I think working out is really important for your physical health," she said. "I think mental health is really important, but also, if you want to be healthy and while I am not the most excited to put my workout clothes on and go and do that, it is really nice, when you leave, you feel better...I just want to build muscle. My body changes all of the time and I think right now, it's just, I want to build muscle."

3. Julie Bowen

Julie Bowen played Claire Dunphy on the show, which led her to winning an Emmy. She shared her diet secrets with Parade. “I eat really clean and have pretty simple rules: I try not to eat white food, like white rice, pasta and white bread. There aren’t really any white foods that are good for you when you think about it. Marshmallows? Powdered sugar? Nope. I also like to see the ingredients. If it’s complicated to the point that I don’t know what’s in it, I’m not interested in eating it.”

4. Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara played the role of Gloria Pritchett. She has amazing skin, and shared some of her secrets in an interview with New Beauty. “I believe, more than fixing anything, in preventing. Once you get the wrinkle, once you get the sagging neck, that's it. There's no cream that is going to fix you. So, prevention, prevention, prevention!"

5. Jesse Tyler Ferguson

Jesse Tyler Ferguson played Mitchell Pritchett on the show. He likes to cook a lot of his food, and shared some of his favorites with EatingWell. “Nothing will ever beat grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, but I have recently been doing more chicken too. Allowing the chicken to marinate for at least four hours is my secret to delicious, juicy grilled chicken.”

6. Ty Burrell

Ty Burrell opened up about landing his star-making role of Phil Dunphy later in life to The Guardian. “I was not a mature young man and would probably have gone off the rails. Plus, I don't know if it was my Frankenbrow, but before Modern Family I was always cast as the guy who got his comeuppance – and was usually killed or fired. It's nice to play someone well-intentioned now.”

7. Eric Stonestreet

When it comes to his TV roles, like Cameron Tucker, Eric Stonestreet is careful about which roles he goes after. “So many of us as actors, we tether ourselves to ideas that aren’t possible,” he told Vox. “This is a business that discriminates. A tried and true process of who gets jobs is based on personal taste. ‘I want that person to have that job because I like the color of his hair. I like that person because he’s short, and that’s funny.’ It’s just the way our business works for everyone across the board. So I knew that going in, and I knew that that was what I was choosing for myself.”

8. Nolan Gould

Nolan Gould played Luke Dunphy on the show. He shared how his diet has changed with People. “I’m eating so much healthier, even though there’s less of it,” he said. “What I get is actually really healthy food for you: lean protein, eating as many vegetables as you want, and staying away from things like soda. Nourishing the mind, body, all that.”

9. Shelley Long

Shelley Long played the recurring role of DeDe Pritchett. She opened up about how she approached her career to Yahoo Lifestyle. “I’m not a party girl. Taking care of myself was [always] a big part of the challenge because I would get up at 5 or 5:30 [a.m.]. I was supposed to be the, ya know, ‘pretty girl’ — and I need a lot of work to become the pretty girl. I just do.”

10. Andrea Anders

Andrea Anders played the recurring role of Amber LaFontaine. She revealed what she likes to cook and eat in this Instagram post. “@annavocino is the reason I learned to #EatHappy, and now consequently, I LOVE to cook! Get this book from Amazon immediately!”

1. Mandy Moore

Mandy Moore played the lead role of Rebecca Pearson. She talked about some of her favorite foods in an interview with Bustle. “I’m always going to go with a scoop of almond butter in a smoothie. Everything’s better with it. I’m not super picky with salads, but I do love arugula. And maybe throwing in garbanzo beans — if it can be crunchy, all the better.”

2. Sterling K. Brown

Sterling K. Brown played Randall Pearson on the show. When it comes to fitness, he’s all about consistency. “It’s easier to maintain a level of fitness than it is to lose it and try to get it back,” Brown told Men’s Health. “You want to do enough that you feel like you’ve done something, but not so much that you don’t wanna do it again tomorrow. So it’s not about trying to kill yourself. It’s about trying to give yourself the inspiration to continue.”

3. Milo Ventimiglia

Milo Ventimiglia played the lead role of Jack Pearson on the show. He works with trainer, Jason Walsh, to help him stay in shape. “Milo has always been dedicated to his workouts,” Walsh told People. “Consistency is key. It’s the best method because as an actor, you don’t have to stress about taking your clothes off if that time comes. You just know you’re good to go.”

4. Chrissy Metz

Chrissy Metz played Kate Pearson on the show. Like her character, Metz has struggled with her weight. She tells TVLine that she has found acceptance in herself. "Whether or not I lose weight or stay the same, it's purely a choice of mine for health. Not because I think that plus size, curvy, voluptuous, big bodies aren't attractive—because I think they're awesome and sexy."

5. Justin Hartley

Justin Hartley plays Kevin Pearson on the show. He shared his diet secrets with People. “I’m not as strict and stringent as some people may think that I am, but I try to be reasonable. I try to avoid certain things or an abundance of certain things. And, if I’m aware of how bad certain things are, I won’t eat them as much. Basically I rely on guilt.”

6. Susan Kelechi Watson

Susan Kelechi Watson played Beth Pearson on the show. She shared some of her skincare tips and products with Glamour. Watson makes sure to exfoliate her skin. “I'm not super picky about the exfoliant I use as long as it takes off that layer of dead skin. So I don't necessarily have anything fancy. My go-to has been Trader Joe's Nourish Microdermabrasion Scrub, and I use it about once a week, sometimes more if I need to.”

7. John Huertas

John Huertas played the role of Miguel Rivas. In addition to acting, Huertas is also a restaurateur and cook. “They weren’t big into cooking at my house,” he tells Variety. “I learned to cook for myself as a kid. My experience with having great food came when I moved to California.”

8. Alexandra Breckinridge

Alexandra Breckinridge played Sophie Inman on the show. In an interview with New Beauty, she talked about turning 40. “I am definitely doing a lot more now though to try to keep up with my skin, my fine lines and everything else—nothing crazy, but I want to keep my skin looking healthy and whatnot. I use the NuFace at home and I use it a lot while I’m working. I also have one of those LED lamps. I try to use that more frequently now. I’m basically just trying to take better care of my skin. I’m also very interested in lasers. I guess I’m looking forward to the point where I am not as concerned about aging, and I just kind of embrace it. I’m getting there; I don’t I have any other choice!”

9. Chris Geere

Chris Geere played Phillip on the show’s final two seasons. He talked about how he views his acting to Us Weekly. “There are things that I notice that I believe I could do better sometimes, but I think that’s what everyone does in any job anywhere. I’ve been very lucky enough to work with great writers and directors, so I learned quite a long time ago that I need to trust them implicitly. And by trusting them, you’re giving everything over to them. It’s out of my hands. So if what I do not see the day looks different after the edit in the screening, then I least I know I’ve done my best in that situation.”

10. Melanie Liburd

Melanie Liburd played Zoe Baker for three seasons of the show. She shared some of her favorite workouts with The Glass Magazine. “Moving to Los Angeles was great because it is quite outdoorsy and you find different things. I got a bike and I go on bike rides, which is so much fun and beautiful. And there are the hikes too. I need to get back to snowboarding because I haven’t been in couple of years now, and this is my favourite thing. There is just something about mountains that I love. There is a place outside of Los Angeles called Mammoth Mountain. You get in your car, it is literally five hours drive from the city and you get to a snow-covered mountain and it’s amazing.”

11. Janet Montgomery

Janet Montgomery played Olivia Maine on the first season. She told The Bare Magazine that she has picked up boxing to stay in shape. “I started boxing a few months after I gave birth back in 2019. My husband and I started together and it was purely so I could get back in shape: after a few months my body was back to its usual size and I stopped. I started training again in April of this year but this time it had nothing to do with aesthetics and more to do with wanting to feel strong. I felt trampled on in certain areas of my life and weak. Honestly I was probably a little depressed and was struggling to see a way out of it. I hated that my daughter saw Daddy as the strong one so I started working with my trainer to build up my overall stamina and strength. Looking back now I think I was feeling powerless in so many areas of my life. I knew that if I started training again I could regain some of that power back.”

12. Chris Sullivan

Chris Sullivan played Toby Damon on the show, which got him multiple Emmy nominations. He talked about the importance of addressing issues on the show to AwardsRadar.com. “When you have a 14-year-old African American girl struggling with her sexual identity, and you have a 40-year-old set of twins, and the other is adopted, and then to have one of them be African American and two are white, so you’re looking at what kind of conflict that creates. Those are such specific scenarios. For whatever reason, the more specific the show gets the more roads people have into connecting to it. It becomes broader the more specific it gets and that’s been really great to watch.”

13. Griffin Dunne

Griffin Dunne played Nicky Pearson on the show. His character is a veteran struggling with PTSD, and talked about the impact he’s made with TODAY. “I’ve heard from Vietnam vets,” he said. “And I’ve heard from soldiers and their families who have fought in our more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. And that they are, you know, thankful to see their trauma, post-war trauma portrayed, you know, is very meaningful to me. I feel very proud of that.”

14. Jennifer Morrison

Jennifer Morrison played Cassidy Sharp on the show’s final three seasons. She talked about her eating habits to Delish, and she says that she tries to avoid snacking. “Bringing my own meals—and knowing in advance what I'm going to be having for dinner, so I have something to look forward to—really helps me avoid snacking."

15. Milana Vayntrub

Milana Vayntrub played Sloane Sandburg on the show’s first season. She also does ads for AT&T. Vayntrub revealed on Twitter that she wants to reduce comments on her body. “I direct the ads. I place myself like that. And it’s because of the thousands of unwelcome comments I receive about my body. You’ve lost the privilege of looking at it until I feel safe again.”

1. Henry Cavill

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.”
