Emily Rudd talked about playing Nami to Decider. “I have never wanted anything more in my entire life. To actually be able to live it is… I truly can’t put it into words. I feel like I’m done. What could possibly be next? If I had to stop here, I’d be like, ‘This is good enough for me.’ I’m really proud of the show we made. We made a nerd show — a good nerd show. A show made by nerds, for nerds.

2. Taz Skylar

Taz Skylar plays Sanji on the show. He talked about learning to cook and his relationship with food to Nuit Magazine. “My relationship with food and cooking is a nuanced one. I originally come from a Mediterranean country, so food is part of the culture in a very strong way. I always loved food and cooking. But through my early twenties I went through some pretty severe eating disorders. Anorexia and bulimia. And so I had to completely emotionally detach myself from food to get through it. For those who have had those disorders or even the ones going through it in some way now, you soon learn that it’s not something you can ever fully get rid of once you’ve had it… The best you can hope for is to manage it. And I do now. I’m proud of how far I’ve come in handling the demons that pushed me into the disorders in the first place. And now with Sanji I get to reconnect with food in a way that’s about finding the joy & pleasure in feeding others. Making sure that everyone is well fed. And finding new ways to even make the food I’ve been used to eating myself, taste and look better.”

3. Nicole Fortuin

Nicole Fortuin plays Ririka on the show, and she’s also a spokeswoman for different charities. “I recently did two PSA’s,” she told Sarafina Magazine. “One was for Brother’s For Life #RapeStopsWithMe. Everyone is aware of the violence that is happening across the world but in South Africa as well. I had always been really fascinated by what happens in people’s minds and in men’s minds especially because often I am really confused by how people operate and what makes it ok for them. I guess the throughline is my interest in other people but their campaign is about men and men making correct choices and being responsible.”

4. Chioma Umeala

In addition to starring as Nojiko in One Piece, Chioma Umeala also appeared in the 2022 film The Woman King. She talked about training for the role to Fifty Four Magazine. “We had strength and conditioning for an hour at the beginning of the day. We would then travel to stunt training for three hours a day, then we’d break for lunch, and the next two hours would be choreography and dance rehearsals because there are quite a few dances in the film. We also ate according to a meal plan and were very healthy.”

5. Jeff Ward

Jeff Ward plays Buggy The Clown on the show. He talked about how he became an actor to Men’s Fashion Post. “I did my first professional job when I was 14, I was in To Kill a Mockingbird, I played Jem at the Ford's Theater in Washington DC, and that was unfortunately cut short because it was in 2001 and 9/11 happened. So that was kind of crazy... I was in New York City on 9/11, rehearsing that play and then that obviously stopped and I ended up not acting for a while. When I was 16, I played Romeo in Romeo and Juliet and it was in an outdoor theater. And I remember during that performance, I was like, ‘Yeah, I think I want to do this. I think I want to make my life about this.’”

6. Vincent Regan

Vincent Regan plays Monkey D. Carp on the show. He talked about how he approaches roles in an interview with Channel 4. “A lot of times actors make choices where they want to be liked and it’s not necessarily the characters choice, it is the actor’s choice. It is important that actors take choices that don’t put their characters in a good light. What I like, as a member of the audience, is when you come across a character you don’t like, but as the drama continues, you realise it is just who they are, and you warm to them and you like them. I like characters who reveal themselves over the course of the drama.”

7. Peter Gadiot

Peter Gadiot plays the recurring role of Shanks. He talked about how he approaches playing a role to Monrowe Magazine. “I always think in that kind of detail and that’s why I’ve enjoyed playing as broad a range of characters and I possibly can—because of the different energies and the different tempos that a character has; how they relate to objects, how they touch things, how they walk, and how they relate to different people and situations.”

8. Langley Kirkwood

Langley Kirkwood plays Axe Hand Morgan on the show. In addition to being an actor, Kirkwood competes in triathlons. He shared some of his fitness secrets in an interview with Cape Town Guy. Kirkwood’s favorite workouts are, “Swimming in the ocean and running on the trails of Table Mountain.” He also says that he works out consistently. “Usually 6 days a week. Twice a day if I’m training for a race and if work allows.”

9. McKinley Belcher lll

McKinley Belcher lll plays the recurring role of Arlong. He also appeared in the PBS civil war drama, Mercy Street, as a free black man, Samuel Diggs. Belcher talked about the importance of the role and series to GardenandGun.com. “The Civil War was a pivotal point for our country, and it in many ways defines who we are. It’s one of those moments in our history where we made a concerted effort to discuss ‘who are we? And who do we want to be?’ Playing Samuel Diggs, I feel like he’s constantly in flux, up against how people perceive him. And as a black man in America, I think in 2016 that is something incredibly relevant—a lot of the conversations people are having around Black Lives Matter are about preconceived notions, and about how, particularly, young black men are perceived.”

10. Aiden Scott

Aiden Scott plays Helmeppo on the show. He loves spending time outside. One thing Scott does to stay in shape is going on hikes. He shared this photo on Instagram of himself on a hike, captioning it, “Boy dog taken by girl dog.” Hiking is a great way to get vitamin D, and is a good cardiovascular exercise.

11. Celeste Loots

Celeste Loots plays the recurring role Kaya on the show. She loves doing a lot of outdoor activities and shares them on Instagram. Loots shared this photo of herself and a friend hiking. She captioned it, “Laughing at Meg, trying to see a whale or sniffing my armpit? Who cares, it’s pretty outside!!” She also posted this photo of herself swimming, captioning it, “Where do you summer.”

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.”

Star Trek stars have captivated audiences with their compelling performances and memorable characters (and pointy ears). Beyond the starships and interstellar adventures, these actors also share their personal journeys toward physical and emotional well-being. From Chris Pine's insights on healthy prepping for roles to Zachary Quinto's reflections on the evolving landscape for LGBTQ+ individuals, this article delves into the multifaceted lives of these talented individuals. Join us as we explore how actors like Karl Urban, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Michelle Yeoh strike a balance between maintaining incredible bodies, supporting charitable causes, and embracing their authentic selves in the ever-evolving realm of showbiz.

1. Chris Pine

Chris Pine opened up about his career in an interview with Men’s Journal. In it, he says that he avoids those calorie rich diets when prepping for roles. “You’ve got Thor, you’ve got Captain America. These guys are eating 5,000, 7,000 calories, waking up just to eat food, eating 15 meals a day. For your liver, I don’t think that’s healthy.”

2. Karl Urban

Karl Urban opened up about how he got in shape for his role in The Boys to Men’s Journal. “I made sure I was consistently putting work in the gym. I wanted to make sure I was meeting the requirements of what people had in their heads when they thought of him. There's also an importance on staying healthy when you're coming up on a big shoot like The Boys, because it can take a lot out of you. I put a program together based on a few other regimes I had built for other film projects and it worked. The goal was to add mass to all of the muscle groups, and hit them all. I wanted something that was just as much about fitness as it was about aesthetic.”

3. Zachary Quinto

Jon Kopaloff/WireImage

In an interview with Time, Zachary Quinto opened up about growing up as a gay man. “I feel grateful to have grown up at a time when all my experiences as a kid in learning to perform and growing up was based on the people that came before me. I spent a lot of time charting the journeys of the people who weren't allowed to be openly gay and had to live their lives in terrible self-oppression and torture and lies just to succeed. Kids today don't have to think about that, because so many of those people died. Now you can do what you want to do. That came at a cost. Honoring that cost is the only thing we owe each other.”

4. Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth’s stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton, opened up about the way he and the actor get in shape for roles to Page Six. “Chris says to me, ‘We want to be the strongest, healthiest versions of ourselves for this next “Thor.” We want to take it to the next level.’ As you know, every single ‘Thor’ and ‘Avengers,’ he’s always in incredible shape. For him to want to take it to that next level, it was another huge challenge.”

5. Jason Isaacs

Jason Isaacs shares his fitness secrets with GQ. "I have one of the many seven-minute workout apps. It’s star jumps; wall-sits; squats; crunches; push-ups with rotation; step-ups; planks; side planks as well. All the other actors and various crew members were initially interested, and one by all they’ve all dropped off. There’s a couple of die-hards that still do it with me but I am so much better at exercising when I’ve got a workout partner.”

6. Sonequa Martin-Green

Sonequa Martin Green is open about supporting cancer charities. “What appealed to me about Stand Up To Cancer was the unity,” she told WebMD. “There is something so powerful about community, to know there are so many people from so many different disciplines in science coming together, shedding their egos, and combining their research. They’re world-changers and they’re doing it all as one, and I’m so honored to support this work.”

7. Michelle Yeoh

Kevin Mazur/Getty Images

Michelle Yeoh’s trainer, Andy Le, talked about working with her in an interview with GQ. “Her extensive background in martial arts films definitely had a great impact on how we worked together. Michelle brings a presence when the cameras are on her. You can take anyone else and teach them the same choreography and they would never be able to do it like her, she brings an X factor to her performance.”

8. Terry Farrell

Terry Farrell opened up about working on Star Trek and what she’s learned in a 2015 interview with Woman At Warp. “I think that living in the moment is important – for myself, I strive to live in the moment, challenge myself to be a better person, and challenge myself to be my authentic self. And hopefully, whenever I get the feeling that I’m a little scared to deal with something, that instead I think ‘that’s how being brave feels’ and that motivates me to deal with it and confront it. I’ve had a lot of practice this year.”

9. Gates McFadden

Gates McFadden opened up about her diet in this Tweet. “My diet does not include dairy or gluten. There are terrific crackers that are gf, most bread sucks so I bake biscuits that taste great. tofu salads, I occasionally eat fish, and am currently craving and scarfing down mochi that are made with coconut milk and are dairy & gf!”

10. Zoe Saldana

In 2016, Zoe Saldana talked to Coveteur about getting in shape for Star Trek: Beyond. “The physical side of [filming] wasn’t demanding at all for me—I asked if it was okay for me to not try to be a hero in this installment of the films. I have my sons who are six months old. But with that being said I still have a fighting scene, and I’m so happy about it. I was already in my process of slowly getting back to my normal routine with my body, so I just started doing some power yoga and a lot of floor work—breathing has been helping me a great deal. I just love it, so that’s what I was doing in my spare time.”

11. Alison Pill

Alison Pill opened up about the impact of Star Trek: Picard to Inverse.com. “I think we definitely all understand that humans are social animals and many animals are social,” Pill says. “So how do we organize ourselves by these principles that don't put us in these individual black and white boxes and get stuck in the binary way of thinking? Of good vs. bad? Or with us or against us? How, how could we operate in society if those weren't the only options? That’s what our show is about.”

12. Rebecca Romijn

Rebecca Romijn is all about self-acceptance. She talked about this in an interview with People. “I think life is a whole game of acceptance. I think when you, especially as you get older, you just have to accept certain things and accepting your looks to a certain extent is part of that, just growing up, maturity.”

13. Anson Mount

John Phillips/Getty Images

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Anson Mount opened up about the impact of the Star Trek franchise, and honoring it in Strange New Worlds. “To me, it’s super important because I grew up watching the original series when it was in syndication. That is how I discovered Star Trek. And that was the only Star Trek I had until The Next Generation. So, for me, that’s everything. And that is what we really wanted to do, something that was a throwback and homage to the original series. And almost everything we do, that consideration goes into it.”

14. Jack Quaid

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Jack Quaid opened up about his life and career to GQ. He says that he wants to respect the people he works with. “I very much have a sorry to bother you attitude in my life. I don’t want to involve anyone else. But whatever people's processes are, as long as you're not actively hurting anyone, I think it's okay.”

15. Ella Purnell

Ella Purnell talked about how she plays characters in an interview with TheFace.com. “It doesn’t matter to me if the character is likeable or not likeable. What matters to me is compelling storytelling. And if you lose the audience at episode three or four because your character is annoying, they’re not going to give a shit if you [PLOT DETAIL REDACTED] in episode 10.”

16. Wil Wheaton

Wil Wheaton talked about the changes he was making to his diet in this 2016 post on his website. In it, he talked about how he was eating healthy and approaching food. “My only vice left is ice cream, and I have ice cream almost every night. I’m not going to feel bad or apologize for it, or make any excuses. All my other meals are really good, and we are cooking our own food at least three nights a week. I track my calories in and out, and I’m staying right around 1300 calories every day, which I guess is good for a guy my age and activity level and all that stuff.”

17. Christina Chong

Christina Chong revealed in this interview that she likes to meditate. According to the Mayo Clinic, meditation has a lot of benefits. “During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress. This process may result in enhanced physical and emotional well-being.”

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

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

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

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.”

1. Jordana Brewster

Jordana Brewster has played Mia Toretto since the first film. She shared some of her favorite healthy meals with OK! Magazine. “[I’ll] steam tons of vegetables and add avocado. And then I have soup with chicken or salmon for at least one of my meals. And then I’m getting all my vegetables in one meal, and I don’t really have to worry about it after that.”

2. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joined the franchise as Luke Hobbes in Fast Five. He’d later get his own spinoff film, Hobbes & Shaw. He talked about wanting to stay motivated to stay in shape to Muscle & Fitness. “It occurred to me that all of the men I knew who had achieved success were all men of great physical stature,” Johnson said. “And I knew that they all got that way through sweat equity—putting callouses on their hands. So in my mind, the key was simple: I’d continue going to the gym and work harder than before, and then I’d follow their path to greatness.”

3. Michelle Rodriguez

Michelle Rodriguez plays Letty Ortiz. She shared her diet in an interview with OK! Magazine. “I eat a lot of free-range chicken. I eat a lot of salads. I gravitate towards broccoli, spinach, beets — beets are great. As far as sustenance goes, I feel I need that protein like fish or chicken to give me the boost."

4. Tyrese Gibson

Tyrese Gibson joined the franchise in 2 Fast 2 Furious, playing Roman Pearce. He shared to Men’s Journal that his mindset is important when it comes to wellness. “I struggled for years with my focus. I got lazy and started enjoying the fruits of my labor too much. When I changed my mind, it helped me change my life—and how I look.”

5. Gal Gadot

Gal Gadot is known for her action roles. She plays Gisele Yashar in the film series. Gadot talked about her fitness routine to Good Housekeeping. “I incorporated pilates into my workout routine, because I feel like there's something so holistic about pilates, and opening your rib cage and actually focusing on breathing."

6. Brie Larson

Brie Larson played Tess in Fast X. She shared her skincare secrets in an interview with Allure. “My skin-care routine has become how I begin and end my day. I am much more regimented about it than I ever was before because it's like, ‘Okay, the day has begun. I'm going to wash my face. I'm going to moisturize.’”

7. Nathalie Emmanuel

Nathalie Emmanuel plays Ramsey, and joined the franchise in Furious 7. She shared her approach to fitness with OK! Magazine. “I’m not working out to be a certain weight or size,” she said. “I’m a goal-oriented person. My fitness goals at the moment are to do pullups and a Pincha Mayurasana, which is a forearm stand in yoga.”

8. Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron has appeared in three films as the villain Cipher. She shared her diet secrets with OK! Magazine. “I have juices and kale and green salads every day. When I’m eating healthily, getting enough sleep and not drinking alcohol, that’s when I look my best. That’s when I’m happiest, and I think it shows.”

9. Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa played Dante Reyes in Fast X. His trainer, Damien Viera, shared his secrets with Men’s Journal. “Jason couldn’t do something like a ketogenic diet, because he needs readily charged energy from carbs to be explosive. And when I say carbs, I’m not talking about breads and pastas—those are long gone. I’m talking about cruciferous vegetables and fruits. You can’t train the way we do with fat for fuel; you need the carbs for explosive movements.”

10. Jason Statham

Jason Statham plays Deckard Shaw in the franchise, and its spinoff film, Hobbes & Shaw. Statham talked about working with trainer Logan Hood to Men’s Journal. "Everything he asks me to do, he can do. I had met a couple of Hollywood trainers, but when I met Hood, I was hooked. He's like a machine."

11. Daniela Melchior

Daniela Melchior plays Isabel Neves in Fast X. She shared some of her favorite skin products with Byrdie. “In the morning, I do toner, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid—but only when my skin needs it because sometimes it [makes me] break out. After hyaluronic acid, I put on moisturizer, eye cream. And sunscreen all the time—even if I stay home—because it's so important."

12. Alan Ritchson

Alan Ritchson played Aimes in Fast X. He opened up about his approach to diet and exercise to Men’s Health. He says that since he works out a lot, he can indulge from time to time. “If your lifestyle is one of health and fitness, every day can become a cheat day,” Ritchson said. “You don't have to go on these insane calorie deficit sprees and punish yourself in the gym. I work out 30 to 45 minutes a day. I get it in, get a little pump [and then] I might have a slice of pizza for lunch because I feel like it and I earned it.”

13. John Cena

John Cena plays Jakob Toretto. He talked about his fitness routine in an interview with GQ. “My training has switched a lot because I’m old,” Cena says. “I started lifting weights in a dedicated fashion when I was 12 years old. If you do the math, I’m coming up on 35 years of that. That’s a long time. The biggest shift when I was in the WWE is, every day, I tried to be the strongest version I can be that day. Now, I’m trying to be able to lift weights when I’m 80, so I need to take a little bit more care of myself for the long term. I have a 40,000-foot perspective. It’s a lot more work on flexibility and a lot more warming up.”

Nathalie Kelley played Neela in The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift. She shared some of her favorite foods with The Cut. “I try to have a hot water and lemon juice in the morning and something fermented. Then I’ll have broccoli cooked in beef lard or some kind of animal fat for breakfast. I kind of try not to have grains at all in my life, although they are my weakness. I try to eat a lot of animal fats and vegetables together.”

Lynda Boyd played Ms. Boswell in The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift. She loves to spend time outside, and shares a lot of outdoor photos on Instagram. In this one, Boyd and a friend are seen on a walk. She captioned the post, “I spent a lovely afternoon with @lunaferguson in the beautiful Queens Elizabeth park… She is a kindred spirit… XO.”
