Aquaman Star Indya Moore Shares Swimsuit Video "Off the Coast"

Indya Moore started their career as a model, working for Dior, Gucci, and appearing in Katy Perry’s “Swish Swish” video. They began acting in the hit series, Pose, and have appeared in Queen & Slim, Nimona, and in the upcoming Aquaman film. Moore shared a new highlight reel on Instagram this week. In it, they enjoyed a day at the beach and on a boat. Moore captioned the reel, “A peace of thick joy. Somewhere off the coast of the Sahara Desert.” How do they stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Indya Moore stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. They Want To Represent The Trans Community

In an interview with W Magazine, Moore talked about wanting to represent the trans community on television. “I definitely want to show other trans people, and also myself, that I can tell stories and that we’re capable of telling stories that have nothing to do with exploring what the experiences of trans people are. I think that’s what trans people are constantly used for, you know, just telling trans stories. I think Pose is unique in that it’s not just a trans story—it’s about family, it’s about love, it’s about friendship and acceptance and really deconstructing humanity, and the ethical side of that, with how we treat people who are different than us.”

2. They Eat Healthy

Moore talked about eating healthy in their W Magazine interview. “When I eat more healthy, I feel more healthy. I’m able to navigate how I feel better and my thoughts, being on that kind of routine. And also, what’s really affirming for the way that I see myself and my body, when I look in the mirror, is the way eating right affects how I show up in the mirror. I notice I feel better about the way I look, or what expectations are for me to show up as in society.”

3. They’ve Stopped Eating Meat

Moore revealed that they’ve stopped eating animals in their W Magazine interview. “I like to eat as well as I can. I made changes to my diet over time, for me, but also to affirm my empathetic responses to eating animals. I’ve always felt kind of weird about it, so I was like, Let me listen to myself. And also, I know it’s not healthy for me, so I cut that out of my diet.”

4. They Don’t Conform To Beauty Standards

Moore tells W Magazine that they don’t believe in beauty standards. “I notice that there seem to be recycled presets of how people are supposed to look. They’re recycled through mainstream media, magazines, you know, mainstream stuff and the things we’re exposed to the most. I think the biggest myth in beauty is that we have to copy something else to be beautiful, that we have to look like something else to be acknowledged or feel good about ourselves. That we have to be the things that we admire in other people. I feel like that’s not necessarily true! We deserve to be the things that we grow to admire about ourselves. Beauty is an ongoing journey, it’s not something that you emulate.”

5. They Got A Gym Membership

Moore revealed on social media that they got a gym membership. "It's been years since I can remember commiting to a regular & holistic self care routine. Finally got my Gym membership, just when I really needed it. Feeling better already. Feels real good. happy to be here. Thank you to my love for inspiring me, thank you to myself for commiting to me. I'm doing it girl I'm doing it."

1. Beauty Maven

Tamaki swears by specific beauty products for her gorgeous complexion. “Laneige lip sleeping mask- at all hours of the day,” she says. “Weleda Skin Food single handedly changed my skin. It’s very thick, so perfect for winter dryness. Supergoop glow screen SPF every day, but sometimes I use this as my foundation! There’s a little tint and shimmer to it. PawPaw ointment- for problem areas, I have had an ongoing feud with a dry patch under my nose for as long as I can remember. One of my makeup artists on manifest introduced me to pawpaw and I slather it on. I rarely wear makeup when home for the holidays, so my favorite beauty look is glowy skin! Sometimes my siblings line up and I do all of their skin care, too.”

2. Not Just a Love Interest

Tamaki is appreciative about playing a strong, complex character who isn’t just the romantic interest. “I love seeing women on TV who have more relationships than just romantic ones, and I think there can be something so dynamic and professional about female friendships and that’s kind of what we have been discovering throughout the season is the way that these two characters get along and learn from each other,” she says. “Drea comes in at the beginning and is just so infatuated with Mic and is trying to get Mic to warm up to her a little bit.”

3. Ocean Swimming

Tamaki went on a magical trip to Bali earlier in 2023 where she swam and snorkeled in the ocean. “To my Bali baddieeees- thank you for the trip of a lifetime. From spirituality and support, to morning bintangs and debauchery, I’d like to think that all of our little islands formed a perfect archipelago. Thank you @adawsss for bringing us all together. This insane jet lag was worth it,” she captioned an Instagram post detailing her adventures.

4. Superhero Dreams

Tamaki wants to explore more physically challenging roles in the future. “When I think into the future and the projects I want to work, I feel like I love and gravitate toward roles that are super grounded and driven and moral,” she says. “I’ve read some scripts recently that are really fascinating about incoming new Congresswomen who want to evoke change in the government. Or maybe even in the vein of a detective, but the scrappy detectives who figures out that there’s something wrong with the system and she goes on and tries to fix it. I’d love to work on something really physical. My training is in physical acting, and I once played Billie Jean King, the tennis player, and so I think that if there were something where I could use my physical acting training, maybe like a superhero that I would love to dive into.”

5. Love On Set

Tamaki genuinely loves her co-stars and enjoys spending time with them. “I mean, that’s the judicious answer, right? To be like ‘everyone’s amazing,’ but it’s true, this is one of the greatest shows I’ve worked on, cast and crew and you know everybody involved, but the person who actually came to mind is Parveen [Kaur], who plays Saanvi,” she says. “I ended up getting close to her hanging out in New York and we were able to have like a couple of days on set together, but we didn’t have to get to have a big story-arc. Our characters have two totally separate situations going on and they’re really complicated stories, but I think it would be really cool to work with her and to see how these two women could maybe start figuring stuff out together.”

1. Diving Training

Raymonde went through intense training for her role in Deep Blue Sea 3. “I got PADI certified before we flew out, then trained with the Frog Squad in Cape Town,” she says. “We rehearsed a lot of the diving sequences before we shot, especially the underwater fight scenes, some of which were pretty tricky (clearing a full face mask underwater isn’t easy). It was winter in South Africa, so the water was freezing. Some puppets were used, but mostly the ‘sharks’ on set were tennis balls on sticks.”

2. Shark Lover

Raymonde gained a real appreciation for sharks while staying in Cape Town. I made a bet with director John Pogue that we’d go cage diving in Cape Town before we started shooting (he agreed) but there was so much training involved before cameras rolled and I think there was a small concern I may get eaten before we started,” she says. “Climate change is killing sharks at a more accelerated rate than any other time in history. Their home like ours is under attack. This is a big deal!”

3. Los Angeles Native

Raymonde loves shopping and eating in her home town of Los Angeles. “I grew up in West LA,” she says. “I remember the old Santa Monica Place with nostalgia (they had an indoor waterfall in the food court) so I typically go to the mall and complain about how much nicer it used to be. Jonathan Adler has nice expensive things for the house, though! La Petite Porte is very romantic. I’m Corsican and I heard it’s owned by Corsicans although this may or may not be true. You can order a cheese plate at the bar and pretend you have a reservation.”

4. Improvisation Scenes

Raymonde says playing convicted killer Jodi Arias was a challenge, as they had to film while the actual trial was happening. “I kind of liked it. I do remember that we did some improvisation,” she says. “The trial parts were the parts that we had so much of almost exact footage to base it on. There was so much coverage and close ups of her on the stand, and some of the dialogue was word for word what she said when she was on the stand with the prosecutor. That wasn’t too tough. That was crazy, though. She’d be on TV every night and the next day, I’m sitting in the same courthouse wearing the same outfit saying the same line she said yesterday on live TV. It was a trip.”

5. Life In Corsica

Raymonde loves the lifestyle when she visits family in Corsica. “No day is complete without a stop at a café for a drink before dinner,” she says, showing a picture of a cocktail. “This one’s my favorite, it’s water flavored with Licorice and Mint, and it’s the prettiest color. My Mom’s miniature Schnauzer approves (though he might be color blind.) And finally, dinner — which starts late and ends very late. Some delicious cheeses to end the meal with fresh green tomato jelly, scraps for the family pup, and a beautiful view of the Place at night.”

1. Dealing With Shyness

Anderson credits acting with helping her to get over crippling shyness and anxiety as a child. “I was terrifyingly shy as a child to the point where my younger sister would ask questions for me,” she says. “I would actually tap her on the shoulder and get her to ask my questions for me. I was very, very nervous about talking to people in general. So for me, acting started at a young age. My parents put us in a local music festival. We did poetry, monologues, and Shakespeare from the time I was around ten. And I found that there was a freedom I experienced with acting and using someone else’s words that I hadn’t felt before. I found that it was liberating for me and it encouraged me to help me come out of my shell and take on different roles.”

2. Outdoorsy Canadian

Anderson loves the outdoors, having grown up on Vancouver Island. “It’s an incredibly idyllic place to grow up,” she says. “I grew up on a farm. It was a beautiful way to grow up. Then I moved to Toronto, and it was a totally different world. Yeah, I miss it. I definitely took it for granted and wish I would have explored more and everything, but that’s the beauty of being able to go home is that it’s there, and you can always go back and take it in. Yeah, it’s a remarkable place. It’s stunning, and the people are kind. There’s just beauty at every turn.”

3. Hawaiian Lifestyle

Anderson takes full advantage of the gorgeous Hawaiian landscape and lifestyle. “We’re both getting into surfing here, so I think we’re both trying to figure it out,” she says. “It’s a big shift from Toronto, but we’re making the most out of it. Hiking, surfing, I think we maybe might take a sailing class here or there. But, yeah, just trying to embrace it. The water is so beautiful, and the surfing is unreal. We went to the North Shore last year for the surf competitions and watched these surfers from all over the world, and lots from Hawaii just go on these waves. You have to have just an insane amount of respect for them. It’s a pretty wild place to see.”

Anderson would love the chance to do her own stunts. “I’m like a daredevil — well, I say that but I haven’t done a lot of crazy things,” she says. “But the thing is they won’t let us. I want to do the skydiving and all that stuff, but they won’t let [me]. I’ll have to do it behind their backs, secretly, maybe.”

5. Hallmark Christmas Star

Anderson is also a big Hallmark Christmas star, and watches the movies every year. “So I’m in my PJs with a cup of coffee, and it’s a morning thing,” she says. “My mother-in-law and my sister-in-law are huge, huge Hallmark fans and so they’ve always sort of recorded it from the night before, and then we wake up in the morning, and we’ll watch a Hallmark movie. We’re all kind of settling down and have had our breakfasts and are just sort of mellowing out on a Sunday or something and watching it. It’s sort of that kind of cozy vibe.”

How I Met Your Mother star Morena Baccarin spent September chasing the sun at the gorgeous St. Regis Kanai Resort, Riviera Maya, Mexico. Baccarin, 44, shared a selfie where she’s posing in a swimsuit by a beautiful pool, against a background of palm trees and blue skies. “Thank you @stregiskanairesort for the amazing stay. The only [part] I didn’t like was leaving,” she captioned the post. “Have a lovely vacation amazing Morena!” a fan commented. Baccarin works hard while raising her family—here’s what her health and beauty routine looks like.

1. She Loves To Swim

Baccarin is a big fan of swimming and Pilates. “I love swimming laps,” she says. “That’s my main go-to for exercise. I’ll go to the YMCA and swim whenever I can. Sometimes that takes a little more time than I have, so walking or running somewhere—as opposed to taking a quick Uber—is always a really good alternative if you don’t mind showing up sweaty or in leggings. I also love Pilates, and I do a combo of that and training with a personal trainer when I have time. Lately, it’s just been a very sporadic mix!”

2. Beauty Experiments

Baccarin loves to experiment with makeup. “I love trying beauty products,” she says. “I’m always very curious about them. When I do photo shoots or glam for an event, I’m always asking my makeup artist ‘What’s that?’ I’m into a few things at the moment: My facialist Joanna Czech has a new line that just came out and it is phenomenal. I’m very much into her cream, specifically. I love it because it’s a one-stop shop. I wash my face, I put that on, and I’m done.”

3. Skincare First

Baccarin is diligent about keeping her skin clean and healthy. “I have to wash my makeup off,” she says. “That has to come off, all that heavy stuff, whether you put on a lot or a little. I don’t feel good until I’ve completely scrubbed my face, and I have to use makeup remover and facial wash. I like something that is soapy, not oily—I don’t like that texture, and it’s something that I feel like I have to put all over my face, including my eyes. I just scrub it all and splash water on it, and all of it comes off at once. When I’m in a pinch, Koh Gen Do has this Cleansing Spa Water, which is a makeup remover and face refresher that does remove everything really quickly. So if it’s 3 in the morning and I’ve just gotten off work, I wipe the makeup off in my van and moisturize when I get home.”

4. Self-Care Needs

Baccarin’s ideal self-care is going to a retreat. “I find it frustrating when I’m in the city and I go to the Baccarat Hotel, an amazing spa,” she says. “I go there, I spend 3-4 hours, I get a massage, I get a facial, whatever it is, and I come home and I feel like all of the effects fade so quickly the minute I walk through the door. [Laughs.] So my ideal spa would be a retreat in Arizona or wine country where I can luxuriate in the spa and then go to my hotel room, lay in bed, and watch a movie.”

5. Staying Down-To-Earth

Baccarin says her family keeps her grounded. “Kids show you quickly what life is all about,” she says. “It’s been great for me. I had my first kid in my 30s, and now I have had my third, and it all comes back to them. Watching these little people mature, grow, learn, and looking at the world through their eyes is so magical. It puts everything into perspective. When you are at work and you are feeling glamorous and then you come home and you instantly have throw up on you, you are changing a diaper, or there is screaming happening and you are trying to get everyone to sleep (laughs). They have a way of keeping you real.”
