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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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
Shutterstock
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.”

"True Detective," HBO's critically acclaimed anthology crime drama (back for a fourth season next year, featuring Jodie Foster), has captivated audiences with its gripping narratives and stellar cast, including heavyweights like Matthew McConaughey and Rachel McAdams. Each season unfolds a new, dark mystery with a fresh set of characters, ranging from the haunting landscapes of Louisiana to the complex urban sprawl of California. Here we explore the fitness and wellness secrets of the show's celebrated actors. Discover how these stars, who have brilliantly navigated the intense emotional and physical demands of their roles, maintain their health and vitality. From McConaughey's unique workout routines to McAdams' organic diet, get a glimpse into the personal health regimes that keep these actors at the top of their game. 
1. Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey played Detective Rust Cole in the first season. He shared some of his workout tips in an interview. “Like any mammal, we’re always gonna make it back home. I like to run 20 minutes out, turn around, and drop and do 20 pushups 10 times during the run back.”
2. Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams played Detective Ani Bezzerides in the second season. She shared with Trainforher.com that she is conscious of what she puts in her body. “I eat organic and I eat a lot of greens and seeds. I’ve always been conscious of what I put in my body and I’m finding it so much easier now to eat healthily on the go. I think there are a lot more tasty options.”
3. Michelle Monaghan
Shutterstock
Michelle Monaghan played Maggie Hart on the first season. She shared her fitness secrets with Shape Magazine. "I hike in the morning if I can, after I drop the kids off at school. If not, I'll go for a run. Typically, I'll do 30 minutes, which is a three-mile run for me. I started doing Pilates, too, and it's really challenging. I find that it's a good balance for my running, which makes my muscles tight. Pilates loosens me up. I also love SoulCycle. I played a Spin instructor in a movie, and at the time I thought, There's no way I'm getting on a bike. But SoulCycle had just opened in L.A., so I went with friends. The lights were off, candles were burning, and we were hooked. It's like church!”
4. Alexandra Daddario

Alexandra Daddario played Lisa Tragnetti on the first season. She works with trainer Patrick Murphy to help her stay in shape. “Working out with Patrick makes me feel more confident in everyday life. I feel stronger and healthier — even more so than I did in my 20s,” Daddario told Women’s Health. “My back doesn’t hurt anymore, my posture is better — his approach is to keep you feeling good and your joints working. Looking stronger is just a bonus.”
5. Lili Simmons

Lili Simmons played the recurring role of Beth in the show’s first season. She shared her fitness secrets with Coveteur. “I have a trainer. I do weight-lifting mixed with a little bit of cardio. He kicks my ass. I love it! I couldn’t imagine life without it. I think women are scared of looking too muscular and I think that’s some bullshit. You still have a woman’s body. Muscle is muscle, and it’s good to be strong. I think it’s the fountain of youth to be honest.”
6. Colin Farrell
Shutterstock
Colin Farrell played Detective Ray Velcoro on the second season. He talked about his sobriety to Variety. “I had suspicions, before I got sober, of how painful life could be. But I had no ability to hold that without being self-destructive and without living in it. I don’t live in that now. I feel these things that we’re talking about, at times. And I consider life greatly at times. And other times, I’m as frivolous as I was when I was 6 years old on a good day.”
7. Vince Vaughn

Vince Vaughn played Frank Seymon on the show’s second season. He talked about working in Hollywood to Drafthouse.com. “Nowadays it feels easier to make these comedies – people are more supportive in allowing it. Because you’re dealing with subject matter and topics that are adult-driven, you want to have that freedom to think and act like adults too.”
8. Kelly Reilly
Shutterstock
Kelly Reilly played Jordan Seymon in the show’s second season. She did a “Day On A Plate” interview with The Telegraph. “We have a huge vegetable garden and I love working on it when I've got time off. Pick out a butternut squash for dinner. Roast the squash with salt and pepper (it doesn't need anything else), and have it with roast chicken and veggies.”
9. Taylor Kitsch
Shutterstock
Taylor Kitsch played Officer Paul Woodrugh on the second season. He shared his training secrets in an interview. “Day to day, it’s just maintenance. When I’m busy, I’ll try to work out in the morning, just fit what I can in. I keep it high-intensity with training and weights – no rest, I’ll just fuckin’ bang it out. I try to do it hard and fast. Right now I’ve changed it all, I’m doing a lot of bodyweight stuff. But a lot of what your body looks like comes down to what you eat when you can’t work out as much as you’d like.”
10. Carmen Ejogo

Carmen Ejogo played Amelia Reardon on the third season. She opened up about working in Hollywood and dealing with stereotypes to The Guardian. “You can start feeling like you’re the representative of all kinds of things – woman, age bracket, race – and to be able to liberate myself from all those shackles from time to time and just do what feels exciting to me in any given moment is something I’ve promised myself to do more of.”
11. Abigail Spencer

Abigail Spencer had a recurring role as Gena Brune in the second season. She revealed to Well + Good that she uses natural products on her skin. “I've always been interested in the most natural approach to beauty,” says Spencer. “I want the cleanest products that are the kindest to the earth, but I also obviously want stuff that works. When I'm using the right natural products, I glow from the inside out.”

Jennifer Aniston plays one of the lead characters, Alex Levy. She shared how she stays motivated to workout with Byrdie. "Sometimes I just don't [work out]. And that's entirely okay. And then sometimes I say, Just do 10 minutes or 15 minutes. Then when I do those, when I really make myself, which is most of the time, you can do a 15-minute class, and then you're like, 'Okay, I feel pretty amazing. I'm going to do a different 15 minutes.' And then I do it. And then by the end of it, you realize you've done three, four classes, and you feel amazing."
2. Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon plays the other lead role, Bradley Jackson. She shared her skincare secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. “I believe just the importance of taking off your makeup every night, moisturizing your skin, and sunscreen! It really accumulates—what you do to your skin when you're 18 shows up on your face when you're 40.”
3. Mark Duplass

Mark Duplass, who plays Chip Black, shared his typical diet with Bon Appetit. “Breakfast is like my diet portion of the day, because I still have my self control about me. It's usually something like two hard-boiled eggs and yogurt, or a bowl of bran cereal with low-fat milk. It's the monk diet breakfast.”
4. Julianna Margulies

Julianna Margulies plays Laura Peterson. She shared her secrets for working out consistently with TODAY. “Some days it’s hard to get going. But it makes me feel better. It makes my mind feel calm and rested. The rest of my day is a piece of a cake if I’ve gone to the gym. Yesterday I took my dog for a two hour walk. I need to do that.”
5. Gugu Mbatha-Raw

Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays Hannah Shoenfeld. She talked about her approach to beauty in an interview with ELLE. “I definitely feel more comfortable with beauty now than when I was younger, maybe because I feel more confident in myself and more established in my career. As an actor I think beauty can be a bit of a double edged sword; I want to be able to play characters that are flawed and messy and human, you have to be unafraid to be not beautiful, you have to be bold enough to be real as well, and I think there's beauty in that authenticity. But, I also work in an industry that celebrates beauty and is, by its nature, a visual medium.”
6. Jon Hamm

In season three, Jon Hamm joined the cast as Paul Marks. He shared some of his favorite workouts with Men’s Journal. “I snowboard and ski and do all kinds of stupid shit. But I also don’t go crazy. When I ski, I’ll go into the moguls and immediately think, ‘Oh, yeah, there’s a reason I don’t do this. I’m bad at it.’”
7. Karen Pittman

Karen Pittman plays Mia Jordan on the show. She shared the changes she made to her fitness routine with New Beauty. “I think one of the things that I figured out during my work time was that I don’t love the big gym experience with the gym membership and tons of people and exercise machines all around. I switched to a much smaller workout gym in Los Angeles called SLAY Gym. I work with Eric Strangis, who’s my trainer. I also found that I really need yoga, and I love to sweat in hot yoga. Overall, I wanted a more curated experience as far as self-care is concerned. When I made my exercise experience smaller, special and more curated, it became a lot more enriching to me.”
8. Bel Powley

Bel Powley played Claire Conway on the show’s first two seasons. She shared her skincare secrets with Vogue. “It’s nice to have a skincare routine in the morning. Even if I just cleanse my face and put on two different serums — or moisturiser and do a bit of gua sha — taking that time to look after yourself is comforting and grounding. In the same way, cooking for yourself can also be a form of self-care. I try to eat healthy stuff. Even if you just feel like making your favourite pasta dish, some homemade pesto can make you feel good. I like the ritualistic side to it.”
9. Nicole Beharie

Prior to playing Christine Hunter, Nicole Beharie starred on Sleepy Hollow. However, she had to leave the show because of an autoimmune disease and found herself blacklisted because of it. Beharie talked about this to The Los Angeles Times. "Healing takes time and I feel like I'm on the other side of it," she said. "I learned a lot. I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't wish it on anybody, though."
10. Greta Lee

Greta Lee joined the show as Stella Bak in the second season. She revealed to Grubstreet.com that she does things to improve her metabolism. “Lunch was a Shake Shack burger because I read somewhere that you have to shock your body’s metabolism with trans fats. I want Shake Shack to be In-n-Out, but it’s not. It’s the closest thing to that West Coast burger, though, so I go there. I have to reengineer it a little bit. I have to ask to make sure they put in pickles and raw onions.”
11. Natalie Morales

Natalie Morales, who plays Kate Danton, shared some of her favorite foods with TODAY.com. “Avocados! On toast or with lemon and cayenne, with eggs... Nothing is more satisfying than avocado and there is no shortage of it here in California. Also, during every morning prelive show, Kit and I get a kale green smoothie that has a ginger kick to it.”

From yoga to dietary insights, join us in uncovering the healthy habits that empower these icons.
1. Alison Brie
Shutterstock
To get in shape for GLOW, Alison Brie worked with trainer Jason Walsh. He shared what it was like working with the actress with SELF. “She was deadlifting I think over 165 pounds for reps. She could have been doing more but that’s the last number I can remember off the top of my head. She can crank out 11 full-body hanging pull-ups. She was doing over 300 pounds on hip thrusts, and hundreds of pounds on the sled. She would do push-ups with 50 pounds of chains on her back.”
2. Sofia Vergara
Shutterstock
Sofia Vergara’s trainer, Jennifer Yates, shared the actress’ fitness secrets with Marie Claire. "Typically, if we have a good filming schedule where she has availability, we'll work out between 5-7 days, which is a lot. But she takes a lot of time off when she's busy. It's fine to give yourself a break—your body comes back stronger. You have to let your body rest, even if you're working out a few days during the week. That's why we rotate with Sofia. We have days in between when she rests. If you exhaust the muscles, you're more prone to getting injured."
3. Jennifer Aniston
Shutterstock
Jennifer Aniston opened up about how she improved her wellbeing to InStyle. “My level of anxiety has gone down by eliminating the unnecessary sort of fat in life that I had thought was necessary. Also realizing that you can't please everybody. And what good does that do if you're just little bits of yourself? Let's try to be the full all of who we are so we can come to the table. The way the media presents us folk in this business is like we're always trotting around the world, on beaches having fun. But there are a lot of other, less obvious things that go into it.”
4. Aubrey Plaza
Shutterstock
Aubrey Plaza shared her skincare secrets in an interview with The Cut. “It’s pretty simple, especially now that Peet Rivko exists. It’s cleanser, moisturizer, oil. Done. If I feel like I’m super hormonal or I’m having breakouts — a lot of times, because I’m an actor, I have so much makeup on my face and people are putting makeup on my face all day, and sometimes it irritates my skin — I’ll have to throw in an acne product or something like that to help me out a bit.”
5. Kaley Cuoco
Shutterstock
Kaley Cuoco works with trainer Ryan Sorensen to help her stay in shape. Sorensen talked about Cuoco’s workouts with Shape. "Her training regimen consisted of high-intensity circuit full-body training, like cardio, strength training, and lots of core twice a week. Hot yoga once a week, and a couple of days a week she would ride (cycling), which is a beast of a workout."
6. Courteney Cox
Shutterstock
Courteney Cox shared some of her skincare secrets with GetTheGloss. “I don’t think I even thought about a moisturiser or washing my face until I was in my 30s. Now I have such a regimen especially with cleaning my skin -  I use a hot towel to deep cleanse always. I would also say don’t over-pluck your eyebrows otherwise you may not have any left when you are older.”
7. Mindy Kaling
Shutterstock
Mindy Kaling shared some of her wellness secrets with TODAY. She says that walking is one of her favorite ways to stay in shape. “Sometimes I’ll be like, ‘Well, I have four different times today where I have 10 minutes so let’s just walk instead of sitting down and checking Instagram,'" she said. “So instead of it being like one chunk of exercise in the beginning of the day or none at all, I’m now just deciding that I’m going to be a more active person all the time.”
8. Ellie Kemper
Shutterstock
Ellie Kemper is all about finding time to relax. She tells Women’s Day that she likes to do this in the morning. "It usually involves just sipping coffee and breathing," she says. "Which sounds a little corny, but it is just breathing in, breathing out. It’s just having a moment of not reading anything, not going on my phone, letting my brain empty for a minute. That recharges me."
9. Cobie Smulders
Shutterstock
Cobie Smulders likes to do Pilates to help her stay in shape. She told StyleCaster, “I’m a big Pilates girl. And I’ve recently gotten back into dance. There’s this type of dance called PlyoJam. I like to do any exercise that has really loud music. I was Spinning for a while, but I’ve gotten back into this dance class and Pilates.”
10. Julie Bowen
Shutterstock
Julie Bowen likes to go outside. Specifically, she likes to run. She tells Women’s Day, "I just want to feel good, and I want my brain to feel good, and that means going outside. You don't need any equipment. You don't need anything other than this desire to take care of yourself."
11. Amy Poehler
Shutterstock
In an interview with The Guardian, Amy Poehler opened up about her career. She says that vulnerability is something that helps her. “I think if you’re doing your job right, you should be feeling unsure and vulnerable because it means you’re pushing yourself to try new things. Doesn’t vulnerability find its way into everything? I’ll answer the opposite, which is I certainly don’t feel invulnerable in any way at all.”
12. Mary Louise Parker
Shutterstock
Mary Louise Parker shared some of her skincare secrets with The Bare Magazine. “I think a hefty percentage of good skin is keeping it as clean as possible,” she says. “I once heard Stevie Nicks say that no matter what else happened at night, even if she was stumbling down drunk, she made sure to clean her face. I have, more than once, forcibly pushed a friend staying the night into the bathroom to clean their face. I remember being at the Hotel Costes with my friend Nikk,i and its 4 AM, and we just got in and suddenly I became the complexion police. Now my daughter is the same way, and she’s like me in that she loves makeup but doesn’t wear a lot of it. I like Nars and Kevyn Aucoin. The Clairsonic helps a lot. I also like that Nuface device. I just started using it and I think it works. I like Skinceuticals products and Retrouve. Sunscreen I wear when it rains. I wear it every day. My mom never went in the sun. She and my sister are completely natural and to me, the most beautiful women on earth, along with my daughter of course!”
13. Jenna Fischer
Shutterstock
Jenna Fischer tells Good Housekeeping that she’s a big fan of yoga. "When I do yoga regularly, I feel so good," says Fischer. "It's my mind, body, and spirit cleanse. After a long weekend of play dates and sporting events and kid birthday parties, I can't tell you how much I crave my Monday morning yoga class.”
14. Mayim Bialik
Shutterstock
Mayim Bialik opened up about her struggles with body image and an eating disorder on her podcast. "I'm trying to release the pressure of being 15 pounds lighter, which is what I, quote, 'should be,' by Hollywood standards," Bialik said. "I'm trying to release the pressure of caring that I'm wearing the clothes that make me look like those other women, even though I'm not those other women."
15. Melissa Rauch
Shutterstock
In addition to being an actress, Melissa Rauch is also a chef, and has her own cookbook on healthy eating. She shared some of her favorite healthy foods in an interview with Parade. “Lots of whole grains, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Something that’s not in the book that I make a ton is stir-fries with tofu. That’s also quick and easy. It's tofu-based, but not necessarily tofu. Have you heard of Shirataki noodles? House Foods also makes them. They’re so great and kids think that they are eating spaghetti. It’s also got protein and is healthy for them. I love that.”
16. Terry Crews
Shutterstock
Terry Crews revealed his typical diet in an interview with Men’s Health. “When I wake up, the first thing I do is have a glass of water...and I put amino acid powder inside—I like to call it stardust. I drink that all morning and afternoon. And, then I’m off to the races.”
17. Rob Lowe
Shutterstock
Rob Lowe is open about his use of the Atkins program to help him eat healthy. "This is the way I've been eating anyway for 20 years,” he told E! Online. “Even before I started my relationship with Atkins. I've been eating the Atkins way anyway because we know that watching your carbs and watching your sugar is how most people should be eating."
18. Neil Patrick Harris
Shutterstock
Neil Patrick Harris likes to use the Tonal home gym to help him stay fit. He explained why to AskMen.com. "It's essentially a big flatscreen TV turned on its side, it has two arms that can adjust to different lengths and heights, and then it uses electromagnetism to increase and decrease the weight. It's very challenging yet very intuitive.”
19. John Krasinski
Shutterstock
To prep for his role in 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, John Krasinski made sure to get in shape. He shared the process in an interview with Men’s Health. "I gotta be honest: It was brutal at times. We did tons of metabolic work, dragging sleds and all this stuff I've seen NFL players do."
20. Joel McHale
Shutterstock
Joel McHale uses the 4-Hour Body Diet to help him eat healthy. He explained this in an interview with Men’s Journal. “It's a slow carb diet, so you can eat things like beans and lentils—which are carbohydrates, but they’re not the same as wheat or potatoes—and all the protein and vegetables you can. There’s also a Slow Carb App. The theory is your body goes into, not a starvation mode, but ‘Oh, we’re not getting a bunch of sugar any more,’  so we’re going to treat it accordingly. Then, once a week, you go nuts. You have a huge cheat day and that shocks your body into going ‘Oh, we’re gonna keep the metabolism going fast because this is how you eat, and we’ve gotta get all this stuff out of here.’ Then when you go right back to the slow carbs, your body is still keeping your metabolism going fast.”

Get ready to be amazed by the incredible bodies of Marvel TV show stars! From Emilia Clarke's health-first approach to Teyonah Parris' empowering perspective on women and race, these actors work hard to stay in shape for their iconic roles. Tatiana Maslany challenges societal physique standards, while Jameela Jamil finds balance with tiny bites during workouts. Each star, like Kathryn Hahn and Hailee Steinfeld, has their own fitness routines, proving there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Join us as we uncover the fitness and wellness secrets of 20 Marvel stars, revealing how they transform both their bodies and minds to bring these beloved characters to life.
1. Emilia Clarke
Shutterstock
Emilia Clarke stars in Marvel’s Secret Invasion. She works with trainer James Duigan to help her stay in shape. He shared some of Clarke’s secrets with Healthista. “What we have always done is focused on health first, which we have understood is the fastest way to get into shape. Any transformation that happens in the body happens in the mind first. It works unbelievably well and we have a great reputation in the industry for getting people looking and feeling amazing, better and faster than anyone else in the world.”
2. Teyonah Parris
Shutterstock
Teyonah Parris stars in the DisneyPlus series, WandaVision. She talked about how she approaches roles to Kinfolk.com. “Certainly, with every role, I ask what the character has to say. How does she add to the narrative of being a human, but more specifically a woman and a black woman? No matter what I do and what roles I choose, I’m going to be a black woman.”
3. Tatiana Maslany
Shutterstock
Tatiana Maslany plays the title character in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law. She opened up about why she wants the character to be viewed to Entertainment Tonight. "I think that there's a cultural obsession with the certain physique that goes along with these movies sometimes," she shared. "I certainly fell prey to that idea, and I definitely don't think it's a thing that we should be pursuing 'cause it's just these weird standards that none of us can actually keep up with unless we're going to the gym 1,000 times a week."
4. Jameela Jamil
Shutterstock
In order to stay in shape for her role in She-Hulk, Jameela Jamil works with trainer Al Jackson. He shared some of Jamil’s wellness secrets with Shape Magazine. “We make sure to have tiny bites on hand to sweeten the deal during tough workouts, without feeling uncomfortable," he says. "Many [people] don't feel great eating while training, but it works for her.” 
5. Kathryn Hahn
Shutterstock
WandaVision star, Kathryn Hahn, shared her favorite workout with TODAY. “I do like to break a sweat for my mental health. It’s good to move. I take a class called Pop Physique. It’s only an hour. It hits every part but not all at the same time. I like it. It’s like a meditation.”6. Hailee Steinfeld
Shutterstock
Hawkeye star Hailee Steinfeld shared some of her diet secrets with Women’s Health. “My relationship to food is rather simple,” she says. “I eat when I'm hungry. I eat so that I can train, I don't train so that I can eat. And I feel I can perform to the best of my ability if I have that mindset.”7. May Calamawy
Shutterstock
Moon Knight star, May Calamawy broke down her daily routine to Harper’s Bazaar. “I drink my matcha tea at 9:00 on days when I don’t work out, and at noon on days that I do. I love black tea and coffee but unfortunately they both give me bad headaches. On days when I’m working out, I usually start my routine around this time. I work out with weights three times a week and try to supplement that with restorative yoga to get me ‘in’ my body. I was always intimidated by weights but I love them so much now; it’s all about finding the right trainer who gets what you want.”8. Elizabeth Olsen
Shutterstock
Elizabeth Olsen makes sure to stay in shape to play the role of Scarlet Witch in different Marvel projects, specifically WandaVision. In 2015, she shared her fitness secrets with Allure. "I always work out. Five or six times a week. Ballet, boot camp, yoga. It actually did help, because it was a lot of dancing and moving around."
9. Hayley Atwell
Shutterstock
In addition to playing Peggy Carter in projects like Agent Carter, Hayley Atwell stars in the Mission Impossible franchise. In this video she posted on Instagram, she revealed that she loves to do Pilates to stay in shape to play these roles. Atwell captioned the post, “A glimpse of some of the training I do to prepare for stunts for @missionimpossible. Strength, mobility and injury prevention… @sameastwoodtraining and I have been working together for the movie and I continue to learn so much from her.”
10. Jon Bernthal
Shutterstock
Jon Bernthal plays the title role in the series, The Punisher. He shared his secrets for getting in shape with Men’s Journal. “Usually we’ll start with a little strength work, whether it is taking on squats or the bench press, doing five sets of three at the maximum weight. There’s a lot of supersetting, and bodybuilding weight practices. Then we work on a lot of MetCon [metabolic conditioning], doing as many rounds as we can, trying to get each movement just right. It will usually be about five or six full-body moves, like pull-ups or cleans. We’ll do that for somewhere around 20 minutes or so. Then in the afternoon we’ll do boxing or jiu jitsu workouts between scenes. I always want to box, but they really try to keep me working my whole body as much as possible. On top of that, learning the fights for the show or weapons training is almost a whole other workout on top of that. So it probably works out to three separate big, different workouts a day.”
11. Charlie Cox
Shutterstock
Charlie Cox shared how he got in shape to play the title character in Daredevil with Business Insider. "One of the difficulties for me is that I'm naturally very skinny, so the problem that I have is trying to keep weight on, put weight on. I have to eat six, seven times a day, and I have to have a lot of carbohydrates to try and fatten me up so I have something to turn into muscle."
12. Krysten Ritter
Shutterstock
Krysten Ritter played the title character on Netflix’s Jessica Jones. She shared her diet secrets in an interview with Train For HER. “I’m big on juicing – all greens. Luckily, I don’t have a sweet tooth, so I’m more into kale, cucumber, spinach, parsley and celery. I’ve also cut out gluten, dairy and fish for the most part, and I’ve felt so much healthier and better since. Jessica Jones was an eight-month shoot so I needed the energy and my health to be on point. Also, with this. I increased my clean proteins with the working out.”
13. Deborah Ann Woll
Shutterstock
Deborah Ann Woll talked about playing Karen Page in Daredevil to Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she has ideas about how to make the TV character differ from the comics. “I’m not a huge fan of her trajectory in the comic books. I think there's an old-fashioned idea that the way to make a female character interesting is to sexually compromise her, and I don't know that we have to go down that path any longer. What I don't mind is allowing Karen to make a lot of big mistakes. One of the conversations that I had with our new showrunner on Daredevil, Erik Oleson, was that if we ever do delve into Karen’s past, please don’t make it that she shot someone while saving a busload of children. You know? I wanted to encourage him to make this difficult, make it something hard for her to get over, and so we can hopefully pull off something pretty interesting. I like the idea of compromising the character in some way, but I just don't know that it has to be sexual, or that it has to be in a way that causes her to lose her strength.”
14. Tom Hiddleston
Shutterstock
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Tom Hiddleston talked about playing Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and what he wants people to take from it. “In my research into the character and the ancient stories, Loki’s identity has always been fluid in his gender and sexuality,” Hiddleston said. “It was a privilege to touch on it this time. I’m aware it’s a small step and there’s further to go, but I hope that people felt represented by it.”
15. Mike Colter
Shutterstock
Mike Colter talked about the process that earned him the role of Luke Cage to Muscle and Fitness. “As I got into the business, I realized that there is a niche for someone like me who is pretty, you know, capable, but can also play the bigger guys, and play an action role, because I wanted to diversify my resume. And, as luck would have it, when I started looking, to think about doing action films, I put on some weight, I started working out a little more, because I wanted to just change it up a bit. And, that’s kinda how I look at it. I try to stay within striking distance of being able to drop a little bit of weight, or put on a little weight, depending on what I’m gonna do.”
16. Adrienne Palicki

Adrianne Palicki has had several notable roles over the years. One of them is her role as Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. In 2013, Palicki shared some of her wellness secrets with Cosmopolitan. "Diet wise, I have celiac disease so I have a severe gluton allergy so my diet is already restricted, so I suppose that helped."
17. Anson Mount

Anson Mount has played Black Bolt on the series Inhumans. He also starred on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Mount talked about working on the series to Esquire. “I'm really happy. I love our creative team and Paramount has treated us exceptionally well. As you know, we've taken some big swings on this show already. I've just been gobsmacked at how many times the network has gotten it. Even just something like the comedy. Comedy is a risk!”
18. Mahershala Ali

Mahershala Ali plays Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes in the series Luke Cage. He talked about his approach to diet in a 2016 interview with WebMD. "I don't eat a lot of red meat, but I do eat a lot of fish and chicken once or twice a week. I don't do too much dairy. Sometimes, I'll go vegetarian for a month."
19. Rosario Dawson
Shutterstock
Rosario Dawson, who plays Claire Temple in different Marvel TV shows, shared her wellness routine with Us Weekly. “I walk everywhere. I drink a lot of water. I try to get as much sleep as possible. Everything else about my schedule and routine is inconsistent, so if those types of things I can do, they’re really important… I can always take the stairs rather than use the elevator or the escalator.”
20. Kat Dennings
Shutterstock
Kat Dennings plays Darcy Lewis in different Marvel projects, like WandaVision. In 2015, she opened up about changes she made to her diet on Instagram.  "To explain, I realize as I've grown older (28 cough cough) that I still eat like a teenager. Candy when I'm bored at work, stress eating, snacking at night, etc, and that's completely allowed and a natural part of being a human BUT I want to start making more of an effort to put health on the front burner as I coast into the eventual dark abyss/exciting new world of my 30s."

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

            
                She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

            
                She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

            
                She Loves Bananas

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

            
                She Loves Cottage Cheese

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity. 

            
                She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

            
                She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

“My bigger challenge is sleep. I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective," she told TODAY.

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention. She specifically loves P.Volve workouts, a functional fitness that helps you “function throughout the day” and “work out your essential muscle groups to keep your body strong,” she says. “So you can live a long, healthy, strong life.”

            
                She Hydrates

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

            
                She Does Pilates, Spinning, Elliptical, and Running Workouts

“I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love. But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it,” she recently told InStyle. “I'm going back to my 15-15-15, which is a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run. And then just old school: I can chase myself around a gym. I need some kind of movement, even if it's just 10 minutes a day on a trampoline.”
