Angelina Jolie has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. Her dermatologist, Rhonda Rand, told Refinery29 that the actress lets her skin breathe when she’s not working. "The thing about [Jolie] is she never wears makeup unless she’s working — it’s probably another reason her skin looks good. She’s also good about removing makeup. I know her makeup artist is super careful about what she puts on her skin and takes good care of it when she's working.”

2. Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek and Jolie worked on the Marvel film Eternals together. Since then, the two have developed a friendship. Hayek talked about having to work hard to achieve her career to NPR. "I have had to fight, very, very hard for every little mediocre part I ever got. They told me: You'll never work. I got to work. Then they said: It's going to be over at 35. And I'm 50. ... I take so much pleasure in proving everyone wrong. It's such a great satisfaction."

3. Ellen Pompeo

Jolie is close friends with Ellen Pompeo. The Grey’s Anatomy star told People that she and her family went on a vegan diet together. “I don’t think it’s tricky at all — it’s actually easier because meat you have to cook it before it goes bad. Grains and lentils and rice and beans, everything’s in the pantry already. You just have to get vegetables, but vegetables stay good for a week — and I think we all feel better.”

4. Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani is one of Jolie’s close friends. She’s known for having amazing skin, and shared some of her secrets in an interview with LVR Magazine. “Besides exercise and eating right, one skincare secret is hydration. I like my skin to look super dewy. It helps give your skin a youthful, moist glow.”

Jack Black worked with Jolie on the Kung Fu Panda franchise. They also spend Easters together. Black revealed on Twitter that he decided to cut out red meat for environmental reasons. “#MyEcoResolution is to stop eating red meat! I’m doing this to help limit catastrophic climate change and to support my mental health. What pledge will you take for our planet?”

Like their characters in the film Eternals, Don Lee and Jolie have a close friendship. Lee talked about his approach to fitness in an interview with Men’s Health. “At times, I’d ask myself why our family was so poor,” he says. “That is when my workouts helped me release my stress and anger. It was the only thing that I looked forward to and really enjoyed.”

7. Lauren Ridloff

Lauren Ridloff worked with Jolie in the film Eternals. The actress is an avid runner and even trained for the New York City Marathon. "It's just like getting up to brush my teeth," Ridloff told Shape. "You're not motivated to brush your teeth. It's just drilled into me...So, now that's [how I feel] about running. I get out of bed and I go for a run. It's just one of those things that I just have to do."

8. Seth Rogen

Seth Rogen worked with Jolie on the Kung Fu Panda franchise. In an interview with GQ, Rogen revealed that he cut back his drinking. “Like, why am I getting blackout drunk at these things and hating myself the next day? And I think I realised I had been lied to about alcohol and that it held a place in society for the wrong reasons.”

9. Elle Fanning

Elle Fanning worked with Jolie in the live-action Maleficent films. She shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with Vogue. “I’m very pale so every day I wear a lot of sunscreen to stop me from burning. I wash my face morning and night, and some evenings I take a soothing salt bath. It’s a nice decompressor at the end of a long day.”

10. Gemma Chan

Gemma Chan is another of Jolie’s Eternals co-stars. Chan talked about her beauty routine to Allure. "I swear by Boots No. 7 for their skin creams. I use their Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum as well as their Early Defence Day Cream. It has UPF [Editor’s note: UPF means Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is how the Brits refer to what we call SPF], but is still a lighter formula. I use their Protect and Perfect Night Cream as well. It’s effective, super affordable. I also use the Simple Micellar Wipes. They’re great because they don’t leave an oily residue on my skin, which I can’t stand."

11. Lucy Liu

Lucy Liu is another of Jolie’s Kung Fu Panda co-stars. She talked about wanting to prevent anti-Asian racism in the media to Women’s Health. “This proves, without a doubt, that words matter,” she says. “It clarifies that when violence happens, [it’s because] the seed has been planted through thoughts and words that give people permission to act out their frustrations and anger. People who use [racist] words, or who don't use their words to protect other people, are complicit—regardless of what side or color you represent in the political atmosphere.”

Angelina Jolie is an eternal beauty. So it’s no surprise she’s starring in the new movie, Eternals.

1. She Has Worked Out Like This

Jolie’s one time personal trailer has said that "he gets more intensity out of his clients when he has them do three different machines for 15 minutes, rather than the same machine for the same 45 minutes." Says the Mayo Clinic: “High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is not just for the young and healthy. Researchers have found that HIIT can improve health and fitness for just about everyone and has even bigger benefits for older adults. The concept of ‘HIIT’ is pretty simple. You can do anything for 30 seconds or even a couple of minutes. And then, given a chance to catch your breath, you'll be able to do it again. During a HIIT workout, you alternate between exerting a high and low level effort of exercise.”

2. She Has Embraced Early Menopause

“I actually love being in menopause,” Jolie told the Daily Telegraph when she was 40 years old. “I haven’t had a terrible reaction to it, so I’m very fortunate. I feel older, and I feel settled being older. I feel happy that I’ve grown up. I don’t want to be young again.” At the time, she said of then-husband Brad Pitt: “[He] made it very, very clear to me that what he loved and what was a woman to him was somebody who was smart, and capable, and cared about her family, that it’s not about your physical body,” she said. “So I knew through the surgeries that this wasn’t going to be something that made me feel like less of a woman, because my husband wouldn’t let that happen.”

3. She Wrote About Having a Mastectomy

Jolie has the BRCA1 genetic mutation. "The decision to have a mastectomy was not easy," Jolie wrote in the first New York Times essay explaining her decision. "But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer."

4. She Has Done a Mixture of Krav Maga and Muay Thai

Trainer Gunnar Peterson got Jolie ready for some of her action films. "We got her learning a combination of Muay Thai and Krav Maga very early on. We would then pick the moves she was best at and combine them into a sequence," Peterson told SELF. “Krav Maga helps you focus your senses and be more aware of the environment around you. Once you begin training, you’ll learn to tune into your surroundings and be able to evaluate threatening situations. With this newfound perception, you can remove yourself from a potentially hostile situation before it escalates,” says Billy Macagnone, owner of Body Evolution.

5. She Reportedly Has Eaten Ancient Grains

“All types of grains are good sources of complex carbohydrates and some key vitamins and minerals, but whole grains — the healthiest kinds of grains — in particular are an important part of a healthy diet. Grains are naturally high in fiber, helping you feel full and satisfied — which makes it easier to maintain a healthy body weight. Whole grains are also linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers and other health problems,” says the Mayo Clinic.
