Emma D’Arcy plays the lead role of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryan. Before the show came out, D’Arcy was worried about losing their anonymity. They told The Hollywood Reporter that the blond wig they wear in the show has helped them not be recognized as much. "I'm also very lucky. That wig is a blessing; people don’t recognize me, so my day-to-day is broadly unchanged, which I feel very grateful for. I get asked if I’m me because I look quite different in real life, which actually presents a possible out because there’s a temptation to say, 'No, but I get that all the time.'"

2. Matt Smith

Matt Smith plays Daemon Targaryan on the show. In a piece for Esquire, he revealed that he can be indecisive, and would like to work on that. “I’d like to try to cut away the bullshit. Become more acute. My dad used to tell me, ‘There’s no such thing as a bad decision. The only bad decision is no decision.’ And that’s true, I think.”

3. Eve Best

Eve Best plays Rhaenys Targaryan on the show. She told The Guardian that she would like more options for roles of older women. “The speed of change needs to be snappier. I’m longing to see more women of around my age taking leads in romances, adventures or dramas in which they’re not being mothers, sidekicks or detectives. Sexy, interesting women who are over 40 – there are a lot of us out there and I’d like to see much more of us on screen.”

4. Olivia Cooke

Olivia Cooke plays the main role of Alicent Hightower. She tells Byrdie that she has to push herself to include exercise in her routine, and shared her favorites. “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.”

5. Bethany Antonia

Bethany Antonia plays the role of Lady Baela Targaryan. She likes to walk to stay in shape. Antonia also has a dog, so she does a lot of walking. She shared this photo and video on Instagram of herself and her dog walking by the beach in Wales.

6. Sonoya Mizuno

Sonoya Mizuno plays the character Mysaria. She has a very supportive family, and they helped her when she was struggling on set. “There were days that I personally found very difficult,” she says to Glamour. “But because the girls were there, my sisters were there, those days were much easier to handle.

7. Steve Toussaint

Steve Toussaint plays Lord Corlys Velaryon. Unfortunately, he received a lot of backlash for being cast, and hit back in an interview with Men’s Health. "So many people are basing their idea of the history of this country on a few films and stuff that were made in the '50s, '60s and '70s, which don't bear any resemblance to the truth," Toussaint said. "Historically, people of my hue and your hue, we didn't just turn up here in the '70s or the '60s. There was a point when the ruler of his country, 'the Caesar,' was an African man."

8. Tom Glynn-Carney

Tom Glynn-Carney plays Aegon Targaryan on the show. He talked about being on the show to Schon Magazine. “I’m not interested in stardom or fame. As long as people enjoy the show, form relationships with the characters and manage to escape for an hour on a Sunday/Monday night, I’m happy and that’s my job done.”

9. Paddy Considine

Paddy Considine played Viserys Targaryan on the show’s first season. He also starred in the film Journeyman, which is about boxing. Considine made sure to get in shape for the role, and trained at a gym. “We got him on a healthy diet with someone cooking his food,” Considine’s trainer, Dominic Ingle, told The Star. “It set him off to keep that healthy lifestyle.”

10. Ryan Corr

Ryan Corr played Harwin Strong on the first season. He is a supporter of gay marriage, and talked about this to The Guardian. “Who someone chooses to love is their right and it should be acknowledged in the society we live in. I think we are backwards as a country if we don’t start to do something about that now. Look how long it took to do something about Indigenous rights and the apology. The rest of the world is moving past us in a number of ways, both racially and within gender and sexual equality and I think we need to work on it.”

The hit series "FBI" showcases not only gripping crime narratives but also a cast of stars with incredible bodies and unique fitness approaches.

Sela Ward's poolside laps, Zeeko Zaki's protein-powered transformation, Vedette Lim's desert hikes, and Ebonee Noel's technical dialogue mastery all contribute to their on-screen personas.

Alana de la Garza talked about what she likes about starring in FBIin an interview. “There is something really relaxing about that creative process when you trust the people you work with and you’re able to perform. If you’re able to take words off a page and, luckily, the words that are on our pages are just incredible. The storytellers that we have that are writing these scripts are so good that you can trust that and you’re able to feel creatively complete by trusting the other characters on the show who are also your friends. There is something relaxing about that.”

3. Sela Ward

Sela Ward loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this photo on Facebook of herself in the pool after doing laps. She captioned the photo, “Got my laps in for the day! Can someone hand me a towel, please?”

4. Zeeko Zaki

Zeeko Zaki talked about his weight loss in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "The craziest part was just being kind of a different person every year. You get like 10 lbs. a year, I wanted to do it slow," Zaki explained. "But my biggest tip and the thing that I walked away from was a little trick I learned from The 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss — 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. So give it a shot."

5. Vedette Lim

Vedette Lim spends a lot of time outside. Naturally, she likes to do outdoor workouts to keep herself in shape. Lim posted this photo on Instagram of herself going on a hike in the deserts of Arizona. She captioned it, “A visit to my birth state.”

6. Ebonee Noel

Ebonee Noel has worked with Dick Wolf in both FBI and Law & Order SVU. She talked about her process with playing her roles in an interview with One Chicago. “I tried to make the technical dialogue be as interesting as possible when delivering it, because I know some of the stuff, I got the script and it’s like what am I talking about here? If I don’t know what I’m talking about, the audience is going to have no idea what I’m talking about. So it’s just fleshing out that jargon and trying to find her joy in figuring these things out.”

7. Connie Nielsen

In a 2014 interview with Parade, Connie Nielsen talked about her diet. “For breakfast, I eat organic food with high fat content, such as whole milk yogurt, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and a scrambled egg. I cook it in organic grape seed oil for its high omega content. I drink a cappuccino for its dose of milk and the coffee for its taste, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. At lunch, I might eat smoked salmon with a slice of Mozzarella di Bufala, made from the milk of domestic water buffalo, along with avocado.”

1. Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke played Sarah Connor in the film, Genisys. She has amazing skin, and shared her routine with Byrdie. "My morning and nighttime routines are really very similar. In the evening, I might do a double cleanse depending on how much makeup either I or someone else has put on my skin. I also put more moisturizing cream on my face at night than I do in the daytime. In the morning, if I have a big day or I have some stuff coming up, I also do a sheet mask and use a face roller. I keep all of those things in the fridge, which always helps."

2. Linda Hamilton

Linda Hamilton is the actress most associated with the role of Sarah Connor. She originated the role in the first film, and has returned in three subsequent ones. In an essay for InStyle, she talked about working and training for the film Dark Fate. “On the film we worked a lot of six-day weeks; even if we had a weekend off, there was probably a scuba lesson or military training. When I did have a day off, I’d sleep 20 hours. I’d rest my body and read my books to take my mind elsewhere. Still, the results are different, you know? It’s disappointing that you can work as hard and not look the same. But then you just think, ‘I cannot be what I was.’ It took me a while to just go, ‘Hmm, fuck that! Let’s go with what we’ve got and make it as fantastic as possible.’ I’d never felt like a badass until I made this film.”

3. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the titular character, also known as the T-800, in all of the films. He opened up about his diet secrets in an interview. “The way you do it is burning more calories every day than you eat,” he says. “So take the number 2,000. You have 2,000 calories that you eat every day, but you burn off 2,500 calories every day. And now you have a negative of 500 calories. And every day you will start slowly going down with the body weight and down with the body fat. And the first place it will go is at the stomach.”

4. Sam Worthington

Sam Worthington played Marcus Wright in Salvation. He is a prolific action star, having appeared in Avatar and Clash of The Titans. For this reason, Worthington has to work hard to stay in shape. "Why waste the opportunity by doing things half-arsed,” he told Men’s Health. “Whether that's mentally preparing or physically preparing, or just giving a crap about the work. Why waste time by going to every party in town? This isn't what I got into this for."

5. Lena Headey

Lena Headey played Sarah Connor in the TV series. She is open about her struggles with mental health and anxiety. When a fan asked how she manages anxiety on Twitter, Headey shared her secrets. "Anxiety is a beast. You have to talk to beasts. Release them back into the wild. Easier said than done, I know, but still. Good to practice."

6. Common

Common played Lieutenant Barnes in Salvation. He shared his fitness routine with Men’s Journal. “I work out four days a week and if possible, five. But I’ve been improving my workouts by doing things that are active. I’m not just pumping weights. I work with the bands. Today I was doing drills where it felt like I was doing basketball drills. I never used to do a lot of cardio and I still don’t do a lot of cardio because then I get real thin. But basically it’s just constant workouts and overall I just eat healthy. Of course I have days where I might go in on some French fries but overall it’s a pretty clean diet.”

7. Claire Danes

Claire Danes played Kate Connor in Rise of The Machines. Danes shared some of her favorite workouts with Net-A-Porter.com. “Generally, I run, but I couldn’t do it when I was pregnant, and I was introduced to SoulCycle, Barre, and then The Class By Taryn Toomey. Initially, I was a little hesitant about the ‘clubbyness’ of it, but it is nice to be in a group and to exercise with others as part of a community. Endorphins are released when you move and when you’re social. So, when you combine the two, the result is quite potent.”

8. Bryce Dallas Howard

Bryce Dallas Howard played Kate Connor in Salvation. She also stars in the Jurassic World films. Howard revealed to People that she used a wooden platform to help her get in shape for the films. “I’d put my foot on it and do calf raises and then stay on my tippy toe and do squats,” she said. “Then I’d turn perpendicular and exercise each side of my foot. Just to practice the stabilizing muscles.”

9. Brian Austin Green

Brian Austin Green played Derek Reese in the series, The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The actor struggles with ulcerative colitis, and had a flare-up in 2022. Green talked about how he manages this condition on Good Morning America. “It’s really just dietary,” he said. “As long as I can keep things within my system that my body doesn’t think I’m poisoning it with then it doesn’t fight back.”

10. Gabriel Luna

Gabriel Luna played Rev-9 in Dark Fate. He tells Men’s Health that he was inspired to get fit because he knew he’d be working with Arnold Schwarzenegger. “I knew I had to get my body into a good place,” Luna said. “Because at the time, I was drinking whiskey and smoking cigarettes and all this other stuff I didn’t need to be doing if I intended to play this role. I knew I’d eventually have to stand in front of this guy, and my motivation was, I want him to see me and see a formidable foe. I don’t want him to see me and think, ‘I could squash this guy with my thumbs’.”

11. Helena Bonham Carter

Helena Bonham Carter played Dr. Serena Kogan in Salvation. Carter tells InStyle that she makes sure to get enough sleep, and that this is the reason for her amazing skin. “People say I look really good, and it’s because I sleep a lot, which is the biggest collagen booster ever. It’s amazing that I achieve anything considering how much I sleep. I snooze during the day and eight or nine hours at night to help collagen production.”

In "15 Amazing Bodies of Mandalorian Stars," we delve into the fascinating off-screen lives of the cast from "The Mandalorian," a series set in the Star Wars universe. This show follows the story of Din Djarin, a lone bounty hunter navigating the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic. As we explore the health and wellness routines of actors like Pedro Pascal, Katee Sackhoff, and Ming-Na Wen, we gain insights into how they prepare for their roles in this thrilling narrative of loyalty, combat, and interstellar adventure.

Pedro Pascal plays the titular Mandelorian, also known as Din Djarin. He talked about his life and career to Esquire. He says that he is very protective over the people he cares about. “The possibility of you feeling bad about the record place the other night? That haunts me. I would want to erase that for you.”

2. Katee Sackhoff

Katee Sackhoff plays Bo-Katan Kryze, and joined in the show’s second season. Sackhoff has her own YouTube channel. She shares a lot of her workouts on it. In this video, Sackhoff does upper body exercises, including lat pullovers, arm circles, and squat curl presses. She wrote in the post’s caption, “This is a full upper body workout but get ready to feel a REALLY good burn in your arms and shoulders 🔥😃 This one will need some homemade equipment if you don't have any weights.”

3. Ming-Na Wen

Ming-Na Wen plays the recurring role of Fennec Shand. On her wellness Instagram, Wen shares a lot of recipes and meals. In this one, she enjoyed a piece of fish. Wen captioned the post, “Lunchtime! Flounder fillet topped with panko crumbs, cilantro & pomegranate. Cooked in a little butter & olive. Only took 5 mins to make. Fast food never tasted so good! I added a side of beets with buffalo mozarella, basil & tomato drizzled in my own mustard balsamic vinaigrette.”

4. Taika Waititi

Taika Waititi voices IG-11 on the show. He shared some of his favorite products in an interview with CNN. Waititi says that he intermittent fasts, and loves Taika Black Coffee. “I have my first meal, something light around 1 p.m., then I have one of their Oat Milk Lattes or, if I’m feeling really daring, a Macadamia Latte,” he shares. “I used to feel so lethargic at the end of the day, but since drinking these, it’s gone away.”

5. Omid Abtahi

Omid Abtahi plays the recurring role of Penn Pershing on the show’s first two seasons. He talked about bringing diversity to the Star Wars franchise to ComicBookMovie.com. “It does mean a lot. I get asked a lot, ‘Who would you be or who would you play if you were a superhero?’ I don’t know how to answer those because I never saw myself playing anybody. Maybe I don’t know the universe too well, but I never saw myself in anybody, so once I learned about Hawkman’s soul and where he came from in Egypt and Prince Khufu, I felt for once, ‘There is a reason I’m here.’ Maybe he’s Carter Hall, but his soul is from the Middle East, and that’s what I can provide.”

6. Mercedes Varnado

Mercedes Varnado plays the recurring role of Koska Reeves. She is also a WWE wrestler. She shared some of her health tips with Fox Sports. “When I first started (wrestling) I would try and find healthy restaurants which is really hard. A lot of tons only have fast food. Recently a lot of the boys started bringing their own food on the road and I decided to do the same thing.”

7. Amy Sedaris

Amy Sedaris plays the recurring role of Peli Motto, and has appeared on all three seasons. She talked about how she manages her stress to The Cut. “I can get stressed out. Sometimes an easy way to manage it is to pick up a book that takes you out of everything. Or calling a family member or a friend. I’m not a big drinker. I still like weed. When I get high, I like it.”

8. Emily Swallow

Emily Swallow plays the recurring role of The Armorer on the show. She talks about how she deals with pressure to Exit 6 Film Festival. “In the beginning I thought, 'Oh my gosh. If I don't come out of this without having created this magnificent project that's just everything I've ever wanted, then I've failed.' It's challenging me to be patient with myself and it's been more of a gradual focus on the smaller things that I've wanted for a while. From that, I've seen some ideas for projects come to light and collaborations take shape."

9. Katy M. O’Brian

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/Getty Images

Katy M. O’Brian plays the recurring role of Elia Kane. She opened up about her workout routine and advice on Twitter. “Lots of people hit me up requesting workout tips. I’ve spent years working w/various trainers to learn what works for my body. I don’t have time to write out plans or diets for people BUT I will say 1 key to getting ‘in shape’ is consistency. These are great tips to help w/that.”

10. Simon Kassianides

Simon Kassianides plays Axe Woves on the show, debuting in season two. In addition to acting, Kassianides loves to write. He talked about this to Numero Magazine. “I have always written. Being involved from ideas’ inceptions with talented people is one of the most rewarding experiences. The high level of skill around me allows for me to take that all on. It’s a lot, but seeing how such talent elevates the projects to levels I’d never dreamed of is something I am thoroughly enjoying and motivated to continue pursuing. I find all areas of this business exciting to be honest.”

11. Tait Fletcher

In addition to playing Paz Vizsla, Tait Fletcher sells coffee and MCT oil. He talked about the importance of MCT oil, and some of his diet secrets, with Brainwiz.org. “MCT is a nice healthy fat that you can derive from coconuts or palm oil. But with palm oil, you have destruction of rainforest and great ape habitat, so we try to be careful of how we source, and we do it from coconuts. I use it in my coffee to keep my fats high. I keep my fats high because I feel better that way. I spoke a little bit on the ketogenic diet; personally, I’ve found that keeping my carbohydrate count to 50 or 30 grams a day or less, I feel great. But in order to do that, I have to eat a ton of fat. Then my body creates ketones, and my body is fueled off adipose tissue.”

In the galaxy of the Clone Wars, the voices behind the beloved characters hold remarkable stories of their own. From advocating for mental health to embracing self-care, these actors and actresses bring depth to both their on-screen roles and personal lives. Join us on a journey through the lives of the Clone Wars stars, where they share their passions, experiences, and insights that extend far beyond the Star Wars universe. From Ashley Eckstein's mental health advocacy to James Arnold Taylor's lifelong dream of voice acting, each slide unveils a unique facet of these talented individuals who have left an indelible mark on the Star Wars saga.

1. Ashley Eckstein

Ashley Eckstein plays Ahsoka Tano. She is also an advocate for mental health. “I think the biggest misconception is that only certain people have mental health challenges or issues or effects that some people think, ‘Oh, that doesn’t affect me,’” she says to Better.net. “I realized that I wanted to be a voice and an advocate for mental health, because I was one of those people that said, ‘Oh, I’m good. I don’t have any mental health challenges.’”

2. Catherine Taber

Rodin Eckenroth/WireImage

Catherine Taber played Padme Amidala in the series. She talked about her approach to the role with Comicbookmovie.com. “Sometimes a role matches up with you, and that's Padme for me. I love the character so much. It's been such an honor to play her and to get to do EK Johnston's books and all this stuff since then, where I get to continue her. But the best part about playing Padme is meeting all of these people throughout the world. Not only who cosplay as her, but there are also whole clubs and leagues of people who love her as much as I do. And that's the coolest thing cause she's such a great character to admire and idolize. We need some more Padme Amidala in the world, except, I always say, for her taste in men."

3. Anna Graves

Anna Graves plays Duchess Satine Kryze on the show. She loves spending time outside with her family. Graves shared this set of photos of herself and her family hiking and playing with animals on Instagram. She captioned the post, “THANKFUL for finding @ranchogrande_ojai 🐪 🐐 🐶 🐖 🦆 This was a Thanksgiving our family and friends will always remember!”

4. Olivia d’Abo

Shutterstock

Olivia d’Abo plays Luminara Unduli on the show. She tells the White Feather Foundation that she is an advocate for societal change. “I think societally in 2020 there’s been so much discomfort to contend with, you watch the news you get uncomfortable. It’s almost like psychologically we’re prone to accepting it because we have no choice. So, let’s get this in there while we’re all open to it! During the Me Too movement, my son was at college and told me that he didn’t look at girls the same way—he was shy and had a more cautious approach. But I think that’s good that there was discomfort because that’s how you affect change. If it doesn’t hurt enough, you don’t feel the deep-rooted feelings that need to be implemented. That’s how change happens in my opinion.”

5. Dawn-Lyen Gardner

Shutterstock

In addition to her role as Steela Gerrera, Dawn-Lyen Gardner also stars on Queen Sugar. She talked about working with Ava DuVernay and other female directors on that show on The Real. “Working with all women directors for five years of my life, it actually fully shifted just the definition of a director. Ava was the first woman director I ever worked with in television, and then it was sort of 34 women after that. It has really completely transformed what was possible even for myself, I think, on some level as an actor, just seeing who’s at the helm, seeing who’s in leadership — all of that informs, I guess, a permission that you give yourself to more fully embody yourself, to more fully embody the work, and your own dreams of perhaps one day doing that for yourself.”

6. Vanessa Marshall

Shutterstock

Vanessa Marshall plays Hera Syndella, and she shared how she relates to the character with Star Wars News Net. “I’ve said before that I practice martial arts and I feel like I’ve had a physical transformation since learning how I’m not a violent person, but I will protect my friends and family. And I’m grateful that I have the capacity and the know-how, so when Hera is in those different situations, I feel that I have a physical awareness of exactly what that would necessitate, and so my own spiritual journey on the planet of self-empowerment has luckily complimented where Hera organically lives. I tend to be a little bit more silly. I’m good friends with Theresa, she can attest to the fact that I’m kind of goofy and Hera is not. So there are elements of my personality that do not exist. I’m sure Hera doesn’t eat as many brussels sprouts as I do. I really do have a thing for brussels sprouts but I don’t know, you never know what she has a thing for.”

7. Anthony Daniels

Anthony Daniels has played C-3PO for decades. He talked about what it has been like with Everything Zoomer. “I think I learned that I have more tenacity than I realized, that I kind of had to stick with it because I agreed to do it and then I agreed to do it again out of choice, knowing what was involved. I guess I stuck through the difficult bits, like everybody does — I’m not the only person — in whatever role, whatever job. But what I did write about was my particular experience of something that millions of people have experienced from a different angle … I’m part of something that you’ve seen on screen for so many years that maybe it just fills in some of the cracks, some of the missing segments. So maybe you have a more rounded picture of what it’s like to be C-3PO from the inside.”

8. Jaime King

Jaime King voices Aurra Sing in the series. In an interview with The Zoe Report, she says that self-care is something she values. “One thing that's really changed is that I'm much more intentional about self-care. Every morning, I literally ask myself, ‘How am I going to take care of myself today?’ I am a better human being and a better mother when I'm taking time for myself and when I ask for help—which is hard for me. I try to take it all on on my own because I have no family here, except for my spouse and my best friends (thank God!). Asking for backup so I can take an hour every day to do yoga—that's my thing— is so important. Every day, no matter what, I'm practicing.”

9. Rena Owen

One of Rena Owen’s many roles is as Taun We. She shared how she got into acting in an interview with Pop Culturist. “It happened during my childhood. Being creative is something that you’re born with. Every single one of us is born to be good at something. During our youth is when we discover what we like, what we’re made for, and what we don’t like. For me, personally, I was born to be dramatic. [laughs] I was hyperemotional and hypersensitive. Sensitivity is a quality you’ll find amongst most creators. That’s a quality you need in order to be a creative or an artist. That heightened sensitivity gives you empathy and insight.”

10. Matt Lanter

Matt Lanter plays Anakin Skywalker in the series. He shared some of his wellness secrets in an interview with Bowflex.com. “Firstly, I always try to make water a priority. Staying hydrated is key, especially here in dry Southern California. I've been using my BowFlex Max Trainer at least 4 times a week and have been really happy. I may try to go out and hike or do some other type of outdoor cardio once or twice a week as well. Also, I'm lifting weights around 4 times a week. I would like to do better about incorporating some more yoga type exercise so my muscles can stretch and not just build from weights.”

11. Corey Burton

Jean-Paul Aussenard/WireImage

In an interview with Collider, Corey Burton shares how he found the right voice to play Count Dooku. “I think of voices with all of these layers and components that go into it. Now, when I'm performing, that's a little different. But analytically, it's always broken down in my brain to various elements. And I'm often called to match voices. So I'm thinking, let's see, texture, light texture, but there's a little bit of a creak to it. There's a fog in it, whatever. And then, as I learned in workshop, vocal placement. Because now playing Count Dooku is a Shakespearean placement. Placement is where you actually, where the voice comes from physically in your body.”

12. James Arnold Taylor

James Arnold Taylor voices Obi-Wan Kanobi. He shared how he got into voice acting in an interview with LaughingPlace.com. “I have always wanted to be a voice actor. I started at the age of four years old realizing that there were people in little padded rooms talking on microphones, and I thought ‘I want to do that someday.’ So I’ve always had a desire to do it, and I pursued it throughout my career [and] my life. As a young kid I was looking to do stand-up comedy and get into radio because I knew that would lead me to a life of voice acting, which I’ve been very blessed that it has.”

13. Lacey Chabert

Lacey Chabert plays Aayla Secura. She shared how she stays motivated to workout in an interview with Thrive Global. “I typically am not excited to go work out. I think I, like most people, don’t actually like working out… until the workout is over. When it’s over, you have all the endorphins in your brain, and physically you just feel stronger and better. I just feel more focused, I feel more clear-headed, my anxiety is less. So even though I really dread getting to the gym or to the workout class, I drag myself there, I push myself to go and I feel so much better after. And I think when I start my day by putting on workout clothes, it feels like I’ve taken one step to getting to the workout.”
