Showtime announced a reboot TV series starring Jon Bernthal, based on American Gigolo, the 1980 movie that made Richard Gere a star — but the OG Julian Kaye remains as sexy as ever, and here's how he does it. Gere — who went on to star in An Officer and a Gentleman and Pretty Woman — is in his 70s, but he’s still in great shape. Read on to see five ways Richard Gere stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. He Focuses on the Spiritual

Gere mantains his spiritual health as well as his physical fitness. After a visit to Nepal in the late 1970s, he began practicing Tibetan Buddhism, building on the Zen Buddhism he practiced prior to that for more than five years. "Spirituality has many definitions, but at its core spirituality helps to give your life context. It's not necessarily connected to a specific belief system or even religious worship. Instead, it arises from your connection with yourself and with others, the development of your personal value system, and your search for meaning in life," says the Mayo Clinic.
2. He Lives His Life

Gere believes in living life to the fullest. “None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an afterthought,” he said. “Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird.”
3. He’s A Vegetarian

Gere is a strict vegetarian and favors foods that are high in fiber and low in cholesterol and saturated fat to protect his heart. Such healthy choices give him energy and vigor.
4. He Chooses Fruit, Vegetables and Vitamins

Gere makes sure that his diet is packed with fresh fruit, leafy greens and vegetables filled with minerals and vitamins. His well-balanced diet includes foods rich in vitamins and nutrients, such as potassium, vitamin C and calcium.
5. He Meditates Daily

As a spiritual man, Gere adopted meditation techniques that help motivate him every day. Staying clear headed, relaxed and calm leads to better decision-making and a sharper mind. "Meditation has a history that goes back thousands of years, and many meditative techniques began in Eastern traditions. The term “meditation” refers to a variety of practices that focus on mind and body integration and are used to calm the mind and enhance overall well-being. Some types of meditation involve maintaining mental focus on a particular sensation, such as breathing, a sound, a visual image, or a mantra, which is a repeated word or phrase. Other forms of meditation include the practice of mindfulness, which involves maintaining attention or awareness on the present moment without making judgments," says the NIH.

Age is just a number, and these 20 remarkable individuals prove it. Madonna, Reba McEntire, Paula Abdul, Cher, Jane Fonda, and many more have graciously shared glimpses into their lifestyles, revealing the habits and routines that keep them looking and feeling their best.

These are the 20 amazing over-50 bodies that continue to inspire and challenge our perceptions of aging.

The Queen of Pop’s personal trainer, Craig Smith, spilled her diet and exercise secrets in an interview with Glamour. "Madonna does five to six workouts weekly that vary on a daily basis and focus on a variety of methods and training modalities. Her workouts include dance, resistance training, interval training, yoga, barre workouts, Pilates, aerobics, athletic conditioning, and circuit training."
2. Reba McEntire

The Queen of Country eats a healthy diet to keep herself in shape. She shared some of her favorite foods in an interview with WebMD. “I eat fruits and vegetables. I love salmon for my omega-3s. …Take supplements. I try to drink coconut water, which I love, and aloe vera juice.”
3. Paula Abdul

Paula Abdul tells Us Weekly that she has reached a place of self-love. “I am a fan of loving and accepting myself exactly how I am in this moment right now — not in a few months, a few years ago. That’s actually what helps me eat foods that nourish my body, keep me feeling good, add to my overall health and support my goals as a woman, a dancer and a performer.”
4. Cher

Pop icon Cher has amazing skin. And she spilled some of her secrets in an interview. “In the early ‘70s I developed what is called adult acne. With Dr. Arnold Klein in Beverly Hills I began using Retin-A to treat chronic cystic acne… But what I learned is what everyone else has discovered over the past couple years: that Retin-A also acts as a de-aging agent.”
5. Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda makes working out a priority. In an interview, she says that she makes sure to stay fit. “I have to keep moving, because when you get older, it's more critical than when you're young. You have to keep your body moving. For me, if I don't, not only does my body begin to deteriorate, but so does my mind, and I know that I need those endorphins."
6. Meredith Marks
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star shared her nighttime routine with Us Weekly. She says that getting enough sleep is important to her. “It’s hard for me to like settle down and it’s also hard for me to stay asleep during the night. So, I like to sleep with an eye mask because it forces me to keep my eyes closed. If I could open them, I’m going to open them and like start working on my phone or doing something. I’m a restless person. I’m wired. I usually have like a glass of wine too. That usually helps a little.”
7. Laverne Cox

Actress, host, and activist, Laverne Cox, makes sure to workout on a regular basis. She tells InStyle that she also wants other trans people to have a safe space to exercise. "I've talked to trans folks who haven't felt comfortable at a certain gym. They don't feel like [the gym is] inclusive or they're not supported, they're singled out, or harassed there. So having this space be inclusive for people of color or LGBTQ folks, is crucial."
8. Padma Lakshmi

TV host Padma Lakshmi tells Women’s Health that she had to pick up some new workouts. “I started going to Pilates a few years ago, because my chiropractor recommended it for my back. Pilates changed my body. It made me strong in places I didn’t know I needed to be. I have a butt now that I didn’t have during my modeling career!”
9. Lenny Kravitz
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic
Rock legend and actor Lenny Kravitz opened up about his diet to Men’s Health. Kravitz is vegan and makes sure to be conscious of what he eats. “I’m very careful about what I put into my body and how I take care of my body. It’s a combination of eating all these things and working out and keeping my muscles and my joints in shape, so that I can do what I do.”
10. Keanu Reeves

The John Wick star works with trainer, Patrick Murphy, to help him stay in shape. Murphy shared some of Reeves’ secrets with GQ, including what he does to recover. “KR possesses a serious commitment to ice baths, which I’m all for as well. One of the best recovery practices to do after all of the ground and pound stunt training is an ice bath.”
11. Jamie Foxx
Karwai Tang/WireImage
The actor and singer opened up about his workout routine in an interview with Men’s Health. He says that he keeps workout gear in his home, which helps him exercise on a regular basis. "I put a pull-up bar right near me in the bedroom. If you can manage to get 20 pull-ups a day…25 dips, 50 push-ups, 100 sit-ups…20 to 30 back extensions, you're done. I do that as soon as I get out of bed."
12. Wayne Brady
Phillip Faraone/FilmMagic
The actor and singer opened up about his struggle with depression in an interview with Verywell Mind. Brady revealed that his ex-wife, Mandie Taketa, inspired him to get help. "She was the one who said, 'Wayne, I love you, and our daughter loves you, and our family loves you. And this is the path you go down when you don't want to live. And we are concerned, and I cannot stand by and watch you ignore this.’ Like many people in the African American culture, I grew up thinking that therapy was a bad word or therapy's not for me—therapy's for white people, therapy's for crazy people. So it took a lot of work to open my eyes to see that asking for help is not a weakness. In fact, that's a strength, saying I need this. That's a superpower.”
13. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images
Actor and former wrestler, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson does a lot of strength training to stay in shape. He shared this video of himself doing bicep curls on Instagram. Johnson captioned the post, “Success at anything requires obsession — and I apply that obsession to everything I do. In the quiet of the night. Obsession fuels the passion. Passion fuels that fucking chip on my shoulder. That chip creates the mindset. Never. Full.”
14. Angela Bassett
Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images
Angela Bassett’s trainer, Corey Callait, opened up to People about how the actress got in shape for her role in the film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. "I like to set up circuits," he said. "You do each movement for 30 seconds, then you take a break, get the heart rate down to get it right back up. The reason why I like doing it so much is because it's the fastest and the most effective way to burn fat."
15. Halle Berry
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Actress and former pageant girl, Halle Berry, shared some of her diet and exercise tips in an interview with InStyle. “Over the past few years, I went from training for John Wick 3 to my upcoming film and directorial debut BRUISED. Some days I'd work on strength and cardio and others I'd do yoga and stretching, all while I did a few hours of martial arts training each day. For me, it's been important not to overstress my body. Taking cold hot showers has been a good recovery ritual.”
16. Kevin Bacon
John Lamparski/Getty Images
The Footloose star shared some of his favorite workouts in an interview with WebMD. He says that he does a variety of things to stay in shape. “I hike, I lift weights, I do calisthenics. Sometimes I work with a trainer. I don't work out for long periods of time because I'm just too bored by it. High-intensity, short periods of time are much more beneficial for me.”
17. Kevin Costner
Eduardo Parra/WireImage
In an interview, the Yellowstone and The Bodyguard star revealed what he does to stay in shape. Costner said that he spends a lot of time outside. “I love a little horseback riding, followed by taking the kids out to the tide pools and just running around looking for crabs. I’ve been real lucky about a lot of things in my life, but one of the things has been this ability to stay healthy. I think one of the big things that helps me is that I don’t sit it out. I move. I get out there and take the biggest bite out of life that’s possible.”
18. Tom Cruise
Jeff Spicer/Getty Images
When asked how he stays in shape for his many action movies, Tom Cruise said that he does a variety of things to stay in shape. “Sea-kayaking, caving... fencing, treadmill, weights... rock-climbing, hiking... I jog... I do so many different activities. For different films, whether it's an action movie or not, making a movie is very demanding. I'm constantly training for one thing or the other.”
19. Vin Diesel
Rich Fury/Getty Images
The Fast and The Furious and Guardians of The Galaxy star shares a lot of his favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing Diesel enjoys doing is weight training. According to the Mayo Clinic, weight training has a lot of benefits. “Your body fat percentage will increase over time if you don't do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose over time. Strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age.”
20. Ralph Macchio
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Karate Kid star, Ralph Macchio, seemingly hasn’t aged since then. Macchio shared some of his diet and exercise tips in an interview with Stack.com. “Eating right and exercising are a necessary part of life. I’ve learned, especially over the last 10 years, it’s easier to fall out of shape and things don’t ‘snap back’ as quickly as they did in those Karate Kid years. I want to keep on enjoying a healthy life, and that means sticking to good eating and exercise habits.”

Romantic comedy stars are not only incredibly funny and entertaining, but like most people in the industry, they maintain strong and toned physiques worthy of action stars. And it’s not easy, either—there’s plenty of sacrifice and discipline before those seemingly effortless abs. Just ask queen of romantic comedy Julia Roberts. "As I always say to my kids, 'You have to eat the good stuff to get the good stuff,'” she says. So how do they do it? Here’s how Reese Witherspoon, Jon Hamm, Sandra Bullock, and others stay in such good shape year after year.
1. Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts trains four times a week for at least an hour a time. "I don't love exercise, but I do love how I feel afterwards," she says. "Accomplishment, clarity, energy, strength, joy... these are all things I give myself through working out, and I can feel it in everything I do." Roberts also does Pilates and strength training. "We currently do 20 to 40 minutes of step aerobics and up to 40 minutes of body work — lunges, crunches, planks, push-ups — after,” says trainer Kathy Kaehler.
2. Reese Witherspoon
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Reese Witherspoon enjoys a balanced lifestyle with plenty of room for pasta and tequila, but makes sure those are treats and not the norm. “I didn't always have good eating habits, coming from a little town in Nashville, Tennessee," she says. "I didn't understand health or nutrition, I went completely off the rails. I was lucky enough to have people come in my life and say, 'look you're not going to be able to sustain energy for 12, 14, 15-hour days if you don't start eating right and exercising.' I exercise every day and eat right every day, no matter what is going on. If I'm working way into the night, I eat with frequency and I take care of my mind and spirit.”
3. Kate Hudson
Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images
Kate Hudson, 44, loves Pilates, yoga, and dance-based workouts such as the Tracy Anderson method. “When I'm doing that, my body kind of goes back to where it likes to be,” she says. “I know how my muscle memory works the best.” Hudson also does strength training and squats. “As you get older, building a little more muscle is nice,” she says. “They did all this research on leg strength and brain health. Actual strength in your legs is directly correlated to your brain health.”
4. Sandra Bullock
Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images
Sandra Bullock, 58, works out six days a week. "I do Pilates, kickboxing, weight training,” she says. “When I'm in Austin, I run or ride a bike. If I can work out every day, I will. At the end of every week I throw on a pair of jeans, take my hair down, and find someplace to just dance, even if it's by myself. That's my therapy.”
5. Emma Stone
Kevin Mazur/Getty Images
Emma Stone, 34, does cardio and weight training to stay fit and healthy. "It is, and always will be, the deadlift and variations of the deadlift," says trainer Jason Walsh, who worked with Stone for her role in La La Land. "It's a complex movement that incorporates every major muscle group working together. It's very important. Cardio is nothing if you don't move well. Staying strong supports the skeletal system, stabilizes joints, makes your cardio safer and more effective. If strength training is done right, you get plenty of cardio from lifting as well. Cardio comes secondary."
6. Katherine Heigl
Jim Spellman/WireImage
Katherine Heigl, 44, has previously used the Bikini Body Guide program by celebrity trainer Kayla Itsines. “I won’t lie, the workouts are real kickers but the progress I’ve made in only 5 short weeks has kept me motivated and inspired to keep going!” she said of her postpartum healthy journey. “I am so grateful I’ve had a full year to find those ab muscles and get my butt back up where it belongs and wasn’t forced by work to snap back into shape, but it is time to make the strength, fitness and overall health of my body a priority.”
7. Paul Rudd
Gregg DeGuire/Getty Images
Paul Rudd, 54, says the most important part of his training regimen is sleep. “Then diet. Then weights. Then cardio,” he says. “People ask me, ‘Can you send me your meal plan? How many times a week do you work out? Do you drink? Do you eat carbs? Do you have a cheat day?’ The most important part of training is sleep… I get up and I have a cup of coffee, and then I do cardio before I eat anything. I never would’ve done that before [Ant-Man]. I lift weights, hopefully at least three times a week. And I’ve learned so much about how my body reacts to foods, how it reacts to exercise, and where I’m happiest and how much it affects me mentally.”
8. George Clooney
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic
George Clooney, 62, gave up years of playing basketball for tennis matches instead. "It's nuts because I'd always said… I was 55, and I'd say, 'I'm going to be playing until I'm 80!' I played like a 25-year-old,” he says. “But it was one last, like, roll my ankle, get my tooth chipped, get my eye socket cracked with an elbow, and I was like, 'You know? I've had enough. I'll play tennis, and just switch it up.'"
9. Matthew McConaughey
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Matthew McConaughey, 53, worked hard for his abs-baring role in the Magic Mike movies. "We increased the lean protein sources and decreased the amount of carbs he was eating in the morning,” says trainer Chris Lockwood, PhD, CSCS. "Matthew was already reducing his carb intake as the day progressed, essentially cutting off starchy carbs after mid-day; and he was already eating a great lunch and dinner meal. I also added a low-glycemic lean mass gainer into his breakfast for a few extra carbs so he wouldn't get too flat.”
10. Jon Hamm
Cindy Ord/Getty Images
Jon Hamm loves juicing and fresh vegetables. “I try to eat as fresh as I can, and try to stay away from as much of the cheap stuff as I can, too,” he says. “I'm not above eating a packet of potato chips or something every now and again, but I do try to make those occasions more of a stand-alone rather than habitual. You know, for me, it’s really just about moderation. I like a nice juice. I like fresh fruit and vegetables. Those are the things that I kind of gravitate toward, just from a lifestyle standpoint, so the fact that they also happen to be healthy is great.”

The Karate Kid star opened up about his life and career in an interview with The Guardian. Macchio says that he is grateful for the career he’s been able to have and that he is at peace with his life. “Pride, and privilege. It sounds like I’m feeding you bullshit, but I’m not. It’s been a unique experience. It’s been a unique existence. How healthy is it, at the age of 60, to sit in nostalgia so much? I don’t know. I just know I’m at peace with it.”
2. Ramona Singer

The Real Housewives star shared some of her favorite workouts with Us Weekly. She says that she likes to do a variety of different things. “I’m doing a lot of combinations. So I’m doing Exhale, which is all about Core Fusion. I do core training, I do tennis and I run — intermittently. I run for a mile on a treadmill. So it’s working.”
3. Julianne Moore

Actress Julianne Moore has amazing skin, which has kept her looking the same for decades. Moore shared her biggest skincare secret in an interview with The Sunday Times Style. “My mother has a lot to do with it because she wouldn’t let us go in the sun. She couldn’t be in the sun and I look just like her. I wear a sunscreen on my face every day and a hat too.”
4. Julia Louis-Dreyfuss

Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfuss opened up about how she recovered from breast cancer in a 2019 interview with TV Week.  “I’ve always been a healthy eater and an exerciser, but now I’m even more so,” she says. “I’m kind of hyper-vigilant about it; getting a certain amount of exercise in for certain a week and trying to live as clean a diet as I possibly can. I mean, you know, within moderation!”
5. Angela Bassett
Taylor Hill/FilmMagic
Angela Bassett shared her workout routine in an interview. The Oscar-winner says that she makes sure to be consistent with her exercise, and that her workouts are determined by her diet. “I go in the morning because my workout quotient will diminish as the day goes on. Maybe Monday, Tuesday, I’ll do cardio; Wednesday, Thursday, because I’m eating protein, I’ll do strength building; and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, when I’m eating all that fat, then it’s about deep breathing, a massage, yoga.”
6. Christie Brinkley

Christie Brinkley shared the secrets to her good looks in an interview with Byrdie. She says that skincare is very important to her. “I start every day by exfoliating my face. That’s something I’ve done for the past 40 years. I feel like it’s really contributed to my skin feeling fresh and smooth. Forty years ago, I read an article that said men always look five years younger than women who are their same age. They contributed that to them shaving every day, and the daily exfoliating with shaving their skin makes them look younger. I was like, I’m not going to let them get away with that! I use the Authentic Skin Care Closeup Instant Wrinkle Reducer & Treatment from my skincare line because it’s gentle. The whole line was modeled after the skincare ritual I already have.”
7. Michelle Yeoh

The Oscar winner shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview. She says that protecting her skin from the sun is very important to her. “I also used to suntan back in the ’80s when it was trendy to do so. But I noticed that doing so aged my skin, so I stopped and now, I never go anywhere without slapping on sunscreen first.”
8. Sheryl Crow
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Singer Sheryl Crow spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go to the lake and do water activities. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself going boating. Crow captioned the post, “Happy Sunday everybody!! And yes, I do have a life outside of being a Milwaukee Bucks fan!”
9. Demi Moore

Demi Moore has incredible skin, and shared some of her secrets in a 2019 interview with Harper’s Bazaar. In it, she uses a Georgia Louise Lift and a sculpting stone to evenly spread the products on her face, and Moore also says that there are other benefits to doing this.  ​​“You work through all the tension in your face. It activates the blood flow in your skin. When you’re over 50 and you feel like your skin is hitting the floor, this is an incredible uplift.”
10. Nia Vardalos

Nia Vardalos is open about her struggles with her weight and health. In a 2014 interview with OaklandCountyMoms.com, she talked about her typical diet. “What I try to do in our house is we try to do things that are whole grain, and also we use tomato sauces that don’t have any preservatives in them. We have to be real. Not everyone has time to be at home and have an apron on, and make a three course meal. So, it’s just very easy I think to make healthy choices.”
11. Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks has type 2 diabetes, which means he has to take care of his health. Hanks opened up about his approach in an interview on the Sooo Many White Guys podcast. “Part of it is because of my genes and part of it is because of the horrible lifestyle that I led of eating anything. So now the first thing that I do is I try to take care of that. “I try to get, every single day, one hour of activity. That can be anything from a treadmill or a walk or a hike with a dog but it has to be one hour every single day.”
12. Seal

Singer Seal opened up about his diet in an interview with GourmetTraveler.com. “I'm vegan with pescatarian tendencies. My reason for veganism isn't to avoid eating meat, though, so if I felt like having a steak, then I'd go and have a great steak. I just haven't felt like it in the past year.”
13. Bono

The U2 frontman and humanitarian opened up about what he wants people to take away from the band’s songs in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. “Even before U2 had a record deal, we played an anti-apartheid show. We were insufferable from a very early age. (laughs) This is the arrogance of great songwriting. John Fogerty had it. Bob Dylan, Kendrick Lamar, John Lennon, Bob Marley … If U2 communicated anything, outside of the personal conversations of our songs, I hope it was: The world is more malleable than you think. These immovable objects are not immovable.”

The boxer notably came out of retirement in 2020 to fight Mike Tyson. Holyfield also shares a bunch of workout videos on social media. In them, he is seen lifting weights with a trainer. The Mayo Clinic states that weight training has many benefits. “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age. Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, obesity, heart disease, depression and diabetes.”

Kevin Costner isn’t just an outdoors guy when he’s on the set of Yellowstone. He told GQ that he spends a lot of time outside, and makes sure to stay active on a regular basis. "I love a little horseback riding, followed by taking the kids out to the tide pools and just running around looking for crabs. I've been real lucky about a lot of things in my life, but one of the things has been this ability to stay healthy. I think one of the big things that helps me is that I don't sit it out. I move. I get out there and take the biggest bite out of life that's possible."
16. Lou Diamond Phillips

Actor and singer Lou Diamond Phillips shared some of his favorite wellness and lifestyle products in an interview with New York Magazine. He says that he likes to take relaxing baths to help with his wellbeing, particularly with oils. “It wasn't until I was working on location as a director rather than an actor that I started really appreciating those things. Directing is infinitely more stressful than acting, because you’re being asked a dozen questions every hour and having to pay attention to the minutiae. There’s no rest. And at the end of the day, man, a therapeutic bath prepares me to actually get some sleep. This specific one comes from Germany and was developed by a priest who used water therapy to heal people. The movie Water Healer is about his life. He was a holistic doctor long, long before it was hip. I’ll sometimes combine it with Epsom salts, but this alone is very relaxing.”
17. Matthew Broderick

Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker opened up about their relationship in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Parker says that her husband is an avid cyclist, and Broderick followed that up by talking about what it’s like to bike in New York City. “There are so many bike lanes now, and they’re safer — you’re not in traffic the way you were, so you’re not fighting for your life — the feeling is a little different. And I’m now one of the curmudgeons who doesn’t like the aggressive cyclists. Sometimes I’m aggressive. I’m in a transitional period.”
18. Antonio Banderas

Actor Antonio Banderas notably had a heart attack in 2017. Not long after that, he opened up about his recovery in an interview with EverythingZoomer.com. “Well, to follow all the prescriptions the doctors give and the advice they give. I was a smoker, and it was gone like this [snaps fingers]. Cold turkey, stop. That’s rule No. 1. Then, exercise for me is very important. Don’t be in situations of stress — that’s very important. That’s more complicated for me. I live in situations of stress practically all the time. Take your Aspirin every morning, so as to have your blood a little bit more liquid. If you follow all of those things, you do every six months your stress test, you’re going to be fine. But you have to do it. And drinking — not too much. If you drink a little bit of red wine a day, fine. But that’s it.”
19. Jon Bon Jovi

Singer and Bon Jovi frontman, Jon Bon Jovi, shared some of his favorite workouts in this video on Instagram. Bon Jovi does a variety of things to stay in shape. In it, he is seen going on a run, lifting weights, doing sit-ups, and enjoying a pool day with his family. Bon Jovi is also a charitable person, as the Instagram post is advertising donating to World Central Kitchen.

Singer and actress, Gloria Estefan, shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Parade. “Exercise is crucial for me,” she says. “I have hardware in my back (my band called me Robo-pop), so it’s very important for me to keep active. I do an hour on the elliptical or some other kind of cardio. And I do strength training with rubber bands. My muscles will bulk up a lot, so I like to keep them long and limber. Like most women, I am really trying to stay in top shape. And especially at this decade, it gets a little more difficult.”

Britney Spears has been dancing all her life, and she’s still doing so. Spears is known for posting videos on Instagram of herself dancing at home. Dance has a lot of benefits. Prudential reports, “Dancing requires lots of fast movement and good posture, which can help you gain better control of your body. Moreover, there are 3 primary planes of motion; unlike simple movements such as walking and cycling, which only involve the sagittal plane of your body, dancing works your body from all planes, which means ALL your muscles are involved, not just some.”
3. Christina Aguilera
Aaron J. Thornton/WireImage
Christina Aguilera shared some of her wellness and beauty secrets in an interview with Marie Claire. She says that she’s all about self-care and relaxation. “I live for my epsom salts and my baths. I have so many different scents that I carry with me–everyone makes fun of me. I’ll go for rose for calming and lavender for sleep to moisturizing coconut to heavy duty menthol. If I’m congested, I’ll reach for eucalyptus—I’m across the board. I need them in my life; I’m obsessed with them. I also like different scented oils. They’re mentally refreshing. I’ll do little spritzes of rose oil.”
4. Lisa Rinna
Unique Nicole/FilmMagic
Actress and reality star, Lisa Rinna, opened up about her favorite workouts on her website. She says that she loves to walk to stay in shape. “The thing that keeps it interesting for me is I don’t always have ‘normal’ weeks. When I am traveling, I like to walk. I can walk and walk and walk for miles. Sometimes, I will use the gym in my hotel but if I am in a big city like NYC, I just walk. The time flies by because there is always something exciting going on around me and before you know it, I’ve covered five miles.”
5. Jennifer Lopez
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic
Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez is known for her impressive body and beauty. She also has a high level of confidence in herself. "I think the idea of being curvaceous, being a little bit bigger than normal or smaller than normal, all of that is okay,” she told Heat Magazine. “As long as it’s healthy. I embrace who I am. I feel sexy, I feel youthful, I feel pretty!"
6. Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawfod is one of the most successful and gorgeous supermodels of all time, and she still  looks amazing today. “My go-to workout would be 20 minutes of cardio then weights,” she said in 2017 to The Cut. “Sometimes the cardio is jumping on a trampoline, using a treadmill or elliptical or running. We have stairs going down to the beach from our house. I put on an audiobook or music while I run the stairs at my house for 20 minutes.” 
7. Robert Downey Jr.
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic
The Iron Man star is open about his struggles with being in the public eye. In an interview on Off Camera, Downey Jr. talked about how he manages to move on from a project without too much mental struggles. “First thing you learn in theater arts: Aesthetic distance. I am not this play I’m doing. I’m not a character in ‘The Fantasticks.’ I’m not Will from ‘Oklahoma.’ Aesthetic distance. It’s job one. I’m not my work. I’m not what I did with that studio. I’m not that period of time that I spent playing this character. And it sucks because the kid in all of us wants to be like, ‘No! It’s always gonna be summer camp and we’re all holding hands and singing kumbaya. Isn’t it?’ It’s like, ‘no! Snap out of it.'”
8. Jessica Simpson

One of the secrets to Jessica Simpson’s good looks is her skincare. She shared her tips in an interview with Shape. “During this pandemic, I've gone down a skin-care rabbit hole, and I've been using a red-light therapy mask too," she says. "I'm obsessed with doing red-light therapy treatments at home. I place the anti-inflammatory device everywhere on my body, including my scalp, stomach, and boobs. I have fewer wrinkles at 40 than I did at 38!"
9. Vanessa Lachey
Arturo Holmes/WireImage
The Love Is Blind host tells Us Weekly that she and her family turn to portion control as a way to help her eat healthy. “I think portion control is always the biggest thing that people can do, because it’s impossible to say, ‘Change the way you eat.’ I have three kids, like, I’m gonna constantly be eating whatever’s on their plate. That’s just how it is. Nick will tell you, he was a kid where his parents were from the Depression era. So we were from the clean plate era. You had to clean your plate, so it’s still instilled within us. I think just portion control for anybody. They’ll see a difference.”
10. Jimmy Kimmel
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic
The talk show host opened up about his diet in an interview with Men’s Journal. “My new thing — something I've been doing for a couple of years now, actually — is starving myself two days a week. People call it the 5:2 diet, but I've been doing it since before it had a name. On Monday and Thursday, I eat fewer than 500 calories a day, then I eat like a pig for the other five days.”
11. Teresa Guidice
Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images
The Real Housewives star recently got married, and opened up about her wedding preparation to CNN. "Leading up to my wedding, I  was getting to the gym as much as I could. And I was doing a lot of walking, like in my development, Louie and I would walk together. You know, walking is really important. I would do like 3 to 4 miles a day. Sometimes I put ankle weights on; I like the red Bala bands."
12. AJ McLean
Scott Eisen/Getty Images
While appearing on Dancing with The Stars, the Backstreet Boy worked with a trainer to help him stay in shape. McLean opened up about the process on Instagram. “Blood, sweat, tears. Rinse and Repeat. Thank you @bobbystrom for helping find my body and piece of mind again! This is an ongoing journey that I will never stop working on. Never felt better and more confident about my mind, body and spirit as I do today.”
13. Terry Crews

Prior to starring on shows like Everybody Hates Chris and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Terry Crews was a former football player, and he’s still looking the same today. He opened up about his diet to 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.”
14. Andy Samberg

In a 2015 interview with Nylon, the Saturday Night Live and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star opened up about how he approaches his career. Samberg says that he focuses on doing what makes him happy, rather than what’ll be successful. “Making a movie is super-fucking-hard work and no one wants to put out a movie and have it not make a gajillion dollars, but I genuinely feel like I’ve reached a point where, when I’m old and I’m going to die, I really made the shit that I personally thought was funny.”
15. Gwyneth Paltrow

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has learned to embrace her body as she’s gotten older. “My body knows what it's doing and has some muscle memory, some strength, and some flexibility," Paltrow told Shape. "But it's important to have some grace around the aging of your body, to be forgiving. Okay, well, maybe my skin or my muscle won't bounce back here the way it used to, and that's okay. You have to recalibrate."
16. Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon has been a public figure for almost two decades. He opened up about how he deals with criticism on an episode of Fresh Air. “I don't care what anyone says,” he said. “I think everyone's - I think they're - no. If I needed people to write for my show, I would have them write for my show. I'm not going to change who I am because of them. It's just the world changing.”
17. Channing Tatum
Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images
Channing Tatum is known for his good looks, as you could see in the Magic Mike film series. However, he revealed on The Kelly Clarkson Show that he isn’t a fan of doing the intense workouts he had to do for the films everyday. Tatum opts for a more natural look and a more realistic approach. “Trust me. That might be the reason I didn't want to do a third one is because I have to look like that. Even if you do workout, to be that kind of in shape is not natural. That's not even healthy—you have to starve yourself. I don't know how people who work a 9-to-5 actually stay in shape because it's my full-time job and I can barely do it. You work out twice a day. You have to eat completely right at a certain time."
18. Ryan Reynolds

To get in shape for Deadpool, Reynolds worked with trainer Don Saladino. “I’ve been working with Ryan for over a decade,” Saladino told Men’s Health. “Every movie he got ready for I prepped him for. He’s an incredible human being. He’s very talented, athletic and humble. I can’t take full credit because he has such a drive.”
19. Paul Rudd
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Paul Rudd has done a lot in his career, with Ant-Man: Quantumania being his most recent film. He opened up about his preparation for the role in an interview with Men’s Health. “I get up and I have a cup of coffee, and then I do cardio before I eat anything. I never would’ve done that before [Ant-Man]. I lift weights, hopefully at least three times a week. And I’ve learned so much about how my body reacts to foods, how it reacts to exercise, and where I’m happiest and how much it affects me mentally…If I’m in this suit, running around playing a character who’s supposed to be a superhero, I just feel better. And I feel less like an imposter.”
20. Nick Lachey

Nick Lachey and his wife, Vanessa, recently moved to Hawaii, to accommodate Vanessa’s role on NCIS: Hawaii. He also spent time in Panama filming Netflix’s Perfect Match. Lachey and their kids like to do a lot of outdoor activities in all these tropical locations. Naturally, Lachey spends a lot of time at the beach, and shared this video of him walking in the ocean on Instagram. He captioned the post, “Not a bad day at the office!” Augustine Recovery reports that spending time at the beach has a lot of mental health benefits. “Surrounding yourself with nature has a calming effect that can reduce your stress levels. The beach also provides soothing sensory input from the sound of ocean waves meeting the shore and the feel of warm sand beneath your feet. Spending time at the beach can lessen nervous system arousal – something that contributes to your excess anxiety.”

The 2000s introduced us to a wave of talented stars who captured our hearts with their music, acting, and overall charisma. Over a decade later, these celebrities continue to shine, not only with their remarkable careers but also with their youthful and fit appearances. In this article, we take a closer look at 11 iconic stars from the 2000s who have managed to maintain their stunning looks and prioritize their well-being.

1. Kesha

Kesha first made waves in 2009, with her song “Tik Tok.” Ten years later, the singer has a vastly different image. She notably sued Dr. Luke for sexual assault and rights to her own music in 2016, making her a public advocate for the #MeToo movement. Today, Kesha is about to release her album, Gag Order. She opened up about it in an interview with NME.com. “Making this album has allowed me to fall back in love with music, and it’s absolutely more vital than it ever has been for me,” she says. “I’m not talking about selling albums at all, I don’t care about that, just emotionally speaking. It’s the place where I get to go and… sort my shit out with myself. That’s where me and myself go to fight it out.”
2. Lady Gaga
Mike Coppola/Getty Images
The singer and actress is open about her personal struggles. Lady Gaga talked about how she takes care of her mental health in an episode of The Me You Can't See. “You know why it’s not good to self-harm? Because it makes you feel worse. You think you’re going to feel better because you’re showing someone, 'Hey, look, I’m in pain,' (but) it doesn’t help. I always tell people, tell somebody, don’t show somebody.”
3. Hilary Duff
Jerod Harris/FilmMagic
Disney star Hilary Duff makes sure to eat healthy. In an interview with Shape, Duff revealed some of her favorite healthy meals. “I love to roast vegetables like squash and broccoli,” she says. “I’ll make chicken thighs, tacos with cassava flour, arugula salads with whatever kind of fruits or vegetables I have in my fridge, and Israeli quinoa. My friend Gaby [Dalkin] is a chef and taught me how to reverse sear a steak — you cook it really slow in the oven first, and then once it's almost cooked, you throw it on a really hot grill — it’s my favorite thing ever.”
4. Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks became the youngest winner of American Idol in 2007. In an interview with BlackDoctors.org, she opened up about her fitness journey and weight loss. “I changed the way I thought about food and exercising,” she says. “I listen to my body to tell me that I’m full…I’m good with my thighs touching.

5. Paris Hilton

I love products that help people demystify their health through incredible science and technology.”
6. America Ferrera

Ugly Betty and The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants star, America Ferrera talked about her approach to working out in an interview with TODAY Parents. “My relationship with working out used to be about fixing flaws. For years, I was in a cycle of beating myself up. It took me a lot of work to transform that relationship into one that is based in deep gratitude for the ability to move my body in ways that make me feel strong, joyful and alive.” 7. Chad Michael Murray
Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images
One Tree Hill and Freaky Friday star, Chad Michael Murray, shared some of his favorite workouts in an interview with GQ. “I wanted to make sure that five to six days a week I was taking care of myself mentally, physically, spiritually every day. We happen to be in a really good location where we live, where we can get hikes in. And we have a pool and the weather was beautiful.”8. Jesse McCartney

9. Adam Brody
Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagic
Adam Brody starred in some of the 2000s pop culture staples, including The O.C. and Jennifer’s Body. He currently stars on Fleishman Is In Trouble and in Shazam!: Fury of The Gods. In an interview with The A.V. Club, Brody talked about how he has changed since the 2000s. I haven’t always been on the right side of history. This is a little off-topic, but like you’ve got the Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape. And it was bad at the time. It was bad when you heard it in 2016, but I remember hearing it last year, and I hadn’t heard it in three years. I hadn’t heard it since, like, pre-#MeToo and it’s way worse [hearing it now]. It like feels even like a much bigger transgression than it felt like at the time—I’m always speaking for me, obviously. It made plenty of people want to puke at the time. It made me want to, too. I can tell I’ve even changed since. I think we’re going through a cultural revolution and it’s fucking exciting. and I think we’re going to end up at such a better place for everyone.”
10. Ben McKenzie

Ben McKenzie is best known for playing the lead on the 2000s teen drama, The O.C. He also starred in the FOX superhero series, Gotham. McKenzie likes to run to stay in shape. McKenzie is also an activist, speaking out against crypto and encouraging others to vote. He talked about both of these things in the caption of this Instagram post. “Woke up this morning feeling a little down. Went for a jog to the place I like to visit when I get the blues. And here’s what I feel now: resolve. We are better than this. We are not perfect, our democracy is not perfect, but we do still live in one if we fight for it and that means that if we try hard enough, if we all do our part, we can fix what is broken. It’s up to us. It’s up to you.”
11. Orlando Bloom
Dominique Charriau/WireImage
Orlando Bloom is best known for appearing in the Pirates of The Caribbean and Lord of The Rings franchises. He opened up about his fitness journey in an interview with Men’s Journal. “I was a skinny kid with a fast metabolism growing up. I broke a few bones early on in life from being a bit reckless. The final straw was when I broke my back in my early 20s after falling from three stories. I was lucky to survive. Since then, I’ve focused on lifting heavy to strengthen my skeletal structure. That kind of training has evolved into an interest in gaining muscle mass and putting on a little more size. I’m six feet [tall] and comfortably weighing around 175 pounds right now, but lately I’ve worked to put on a bit more for a few roles coming up.”

Alice De Bortoli doesn’t just light up Instagram with her stunning fashion and effortless style—she also shares the secrets behind her enviable beach-ready physique. The Italian influencer keeps her followers in the loop when it comes to fitness, beauty, and wellness, proving that looking and feeling great is all about consistency. From skincare rituals to core-sculpting workouts, De Bortoli’s daily habits make it clear that staying in shape is about more than just hitting the gym. Whether she’s cooking up homemade meals, breaking a sweat, or showing off a fresh new look, she’s all about feeling her best from the inside out. Here are five of her go-to habits for maintaining a strong, confident, and glowing presence all year long.

            
                She Takes Care Of Her Skin
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
De Bortoli has impressive skin. Naturally, she takes care of it on a regular basis. De Bortoli shared this video on Instagram sharing her skincare routine. She captioned it, “The secret to perfect skin? Here is my step by step routine! ✨💦🎀 What product can you absolutely not live without?”

            
                She Changed Her Hair Color
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

            
                She Cooks
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

            
                She Works Her Abs
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

            
                She Works Out With Others
            
            
        Alice De Bortoli/Instagram
In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

            
                She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”
