One Piece Star Celeste Loots Shares Swimsuit Photo as “The Pirates Are Coming”

One Piece star Celeste Loots is making some tongue-in-cheek references to the pirate show on her social media. Loots, who plays Kaya on the live-action adaptation of the popular manga, shared a very moody picture of herself wearing a light swimsuit while posing on a chair, looking out of a dark window. “Staring out the window because I’ve heard the pirates are coming 👀,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the actress takes care of herself.

1. Hiking Adventures

Loots loves to hike with her friends, especially at home in Cape Town, South Africa. “Like all forms of exercise, hiking is one of the best ways to lose weight and is a method of stabilizing cholesterol levels,” according to the American Hiking Society. “On average, you burn 100 calories for every mile you walk. Another way to look at it is in terms of how quickly you are walking. You burn about 200 to 250 calories per hour if you’re walking at a rate of 2.5 miles an hour.”

2. She Plays Guitar

Loots plays the guitar, which not only has therapeutic benefits, but is good for brain health too. “Picked up my guitar for the first time in months, and although we’re a little rusty I had to play my all time favorite Figures by Jessie Reyez (with brief backing vocals by one of my cats,” she captioned an Instagram video of herself playing.

3. Cat Mom

Loots loves her pet cats, who feature frequently on her social media. “[Animals are] so much more than pets,” says Molly Gross, CCLS, certified child life specialist and facility dog handler. “They become like a member of your family. The term ‘pet’ doesn’t encompass the meaning and the impact they have. Animals are part of the family and become your companion,” Gross notes. “But animals can help you be social, and feel less alone or isolated when you’re at home.”

4. Swimming Sessions

Loots enjoys the mental and physical benefits of swimming sessions. “As cardiovascular exercises go, swimming offers a little less wear and tear on the body than other options,” says exercise physiologist Christopher Travers, MS. “It’s a good choice for just about anyone… The buoyancy of the water takes the weight off [your joints]. It also adds resistance, but it’s low impact.”

5. Juice Please

Loots enjoys the occasional orange juice for a healthy snack. "Citrus fruits are notably rich in vitamin C," says registered dietitian Anna Nekrich. "This vitamin is needed to form and maintain healthy skin, bones, blood vessels and connective tissues. Vitamin C plays an important role in supporting the immune system and also acts as an antioxidant that might help protect your cells against the effects of free radicals and fight inflammation."

Manifest star Ellen Tamaki had a beautiful few months spent with friends and family, posting highlights on her social media. Tamaki, who plays Drea Mikami on the Netflix show, shared pictures of herself from video phone conversations, including a snap of her posing in a brown bikini in a beautiful little yard. “It’s been real,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Mikami lives her best life, and what she’s hoping for next career-wise.

1. Beauty Maven

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

2. Not Just a Love Interest

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

3. Ocean Swimming

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

4. Superhero Dreams

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

5. Love On Set

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

The Crown star Vanessa Kirby enjoyed a dreamy trip to Anguilla in September with friends and family. Kirby, 35, shared a series of pictures highlighting the trip, including ones of her looking stunning in a black and white swimsuit. “I’ve always loved the quote ‘put more friendship in your romance, and more romance in your friendships’. @belmond you did this for us. It was the most beautiful thing to be with oldest friends, celebrating two of them and their deep love for each other and commitment for life. Congratulations to you honeys 💍 @belmondcapjuluca you make the whole place so special and are some of the kindest people we’ve ever met - such joy and magic you create from the first minute to the end. You are all amazing 🤍,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the very busy actress takes care of her health and happiness.

1. Smoothie In the Morning

Kirby starts the day with a smoothie made of bananas, blueberries, lemons, oats, and almond milk. "I don't eat first thing in the morning," she says. "I used to. I always used to have a really early rye bread with avocado, but now I've gotten really into smoothies... I get really hangry, that is uncomfortable for the people around me. Super grumpy. I'll eat anything."

2. Learning To Fight

Kirby enjoyed the physicality of her role in Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw. “It’s the elbow move!” she says. “The stunt team realized quite early on that my punches would knock nobody out and so they were like, ‘how are we going to make this remotely believable?’ Instead of doing a straight punch, which I tried to do badly, you rotate from the hips and use your whole body. You can’t do a follow through; you’ve got to reverb! It’s also a great dance move!”

3. Female-Led Films

Kirby loves how many more female-led movies there are being developed. “I’m really excited by that,” she says. “There are so many stories about women that haven’t been told. And it’s not about putting a woman in a male role and her playing the equivalent of the masculine alpha. Which I also can’t identify with. I don’t feel like I recognise that person, this invincible woman. I want to see women who are humans. I want to see those really raw, big journeys that [female characters] used to have. I really feel that’s my mission, to play a part in bringing that back.”

4. Playing a Princess

Kirby is proud of her role as Princess Margaret on The Crown. “She’s this incredible mixture, this huge color palette,” she says. “She has this range, that’s what’s so fun to play. On a piano it’s all the scales. Those people are rare, especially on screen. I loved her for that. She was the strongest person, the most potent energy. Intense as hell. A major life force. Burn bright, live hard. And at the same time, underneath, like a scared little girl.”

5. Lucid Dreaming

Kirby compares acting, and the emotional impact of the craft, with lucid dreaming. “It’s almost like lucid dreaming,” she says. “Like when you wake up from a dream and it really stays with you. You’re not sure: did that really happen, or did you just imagine it? I’ve learned to understand it. And I know how to do it without making it risky. I have boundaries and I have tools. Once you know it’s happening you can handle it.”

You star Tilly Keeper celebrated her birthday this year with a fun-filled trip to sunny Ibiza, Spain. Keeper, who plays Phoebe on the show, shared pictures from her celebratory trip, including ones of her enjoying food and drinks while wearing a variety of bikinis. “Took a brief hiatus from my binge-watch of Vanderpump Rules to go to Ibiza for my bday,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Keeper stays fit, and how she feels about playing Phoebe.

1. Running In the Park

Keeper focuses on staying active over spending hours at the gym. “I used to dance, but now I just do whatever I can whenever I feel like it,” she says. “I might run around the house, run around the park or do a few star jumps. I’m not rigorous with it – I don’t do it very often at all! I like to avoid fatty or sugary foods, but it’s not a priority –I cheat every day! My mum is really slim, so thank goodness that I inherited those genes.”

2. Beauty Essentials

Keeper has a few beauty essentials she can’t live without. “Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Éclat highlighter, because it makes me look more awake in the morning,” she says. “I also love my eyelash curlers. I curl them every morning – even if I’m up at 6am! A good red lipstick. My favorite is Chanel Rouge Coco because the color is flattering on my skin tone. It’s important to use make-up to highlight your beauty, rather than try to create something that’s not there. I have done it in the past and it looks terrible.”

3. Playing Phoebe

Keeper loves the complexity of her You character. “On first look, Phoebe comes across as vapid, a bit of an airhead, materialistic, superficial… and she can be all those things,” she says. “But the real core of this character is goodness, light and naivety. She has a lot of love to give – and she doesn't have a lot of love in her life, and I think that makes her quite a lonely individual. But it doesn't necessarily make her a jaded person. And I think that's really nice – she's very optimistic, despite the tone of the whole show.”

4. Rock and Roll Fashionista

Keeper describes her style as very edgy and rock and roll. “I own a lot of leather jackets,” she says. “I like the idea that it looks as if I’ve just rolled out of bed and put my outfit on, when actually I’ve very meticulously planned what I’m going to wear!”

5. EastEnders Star

Keeper started her career on the iconic British soap EastEnders. “It was my drama school!” she says. “I was there from 18 till 21 or 22 and I learned how to work with multiple directors. Not just over the years but over weeks because you have such a wide range of episodes to work across. It just taught me so many skills. It's a skill set that you can only learn by being on the kind of set where everything's fast paced and a huge ensemble. It was like a bootcamp – a really great learning experience and set me up so well.”

Grand Theft Auto V star Carolina Ravassa went on a magical trip to Trinidad with a best friend. Ravassa, who voices Taliana Martinez on the game, shared a very sweet reel of herself having a great time on the island, including a scene where she’s dancing on the beach in an orange bikini. “Thank you @aliasentertainmentexpo for the best experience in #Trinidad! What beautiful people, culture, food, music! Loved experiencing @djprivateryan in his home country!” she captioned the post. Here’s what Ravassa has to say about the video game industry, and her rise to the top.

1. Artistic Parents

Ravassa has been involved in entertainment since she was a child. “I was born and raised in Cali, Colombia and was lucky enough to have incredibly artistic parents who encouraged and nurtured our artistic side,” she says. “Me and my two sisters loved painting, acting, being crafty and doing things a little bit differently. Because of this, I started acting when I was five years old, and I’ve never stopped. I didn’t act professionally, but I knew it was what I was most passionate about so I kept auditioning for all the school plays and loved being a part of them. I like to say I didn’t choose acting, it chose me. I moved on to study theater at Boston College and started really understanding what it was all about. I then moved to NYC to continue my studies in film and TV, and ended up staying for ten years!”

2. Video Games Becoming Mainstream

Ravassa is thrilled at how videogames have become so popular worldwide. “Video games have expanded, they’ve become more mainstream: we have 30 million players all over the world thanks to the internet,” she says. “We are diverse, so people in the Middle East and Australia are playing the same game you guys are playing here. I think that because it’s become a world phenomenon, that’s why it’s blown up. This is my personal take on it — I haven’t done studies on gaming or anything, and I’m very new to the gaming industry — but we’re all [saying], how the heck did this happen? We didn’t expect any of this.”

3. Inspired By Robin Williams

Ravassa was inspired by legendary actors to go into voice work. “Since I was young I fell in love with Robin Williams because he did films and he also voiced animated characters,” she says. “The Genie and Batty Koda were my absolute favorites. Somewhere along the way I forgot about cartoons and was just pursuing theater and on-camera work. I love that video games brought me back to voice acting because all of a sudden this whole voice career opened up for me and I feel so grateful for it. I have a knack for badass chicks with guns, so I have played quite a few of them for video games and now I understand that world so much better!”

4. Overwatch Diversity

Ravassa is proud of the cast diversity in the game Overwatch. “A lot of the voice actors are very close to their characters in ethnicity, nationality, or race, so I think that because we feel these characters represent such a variety of people in the world, we feel very proud to be a part of this game,” she says. “I [also] think that as actors who are very interested in diversity and the importance of it in the media, we also have connected and shared this common goal.”

5. Making Her Own Luck

Ravassa believes all the luck in the world can’t replace hard work. “I’ve definitely been lucky to have met certain people along the way that have helped me or recommended me for future jobs,” she says. “But I also believe that luck has to be met with talent, hard work and timing. When these people have wanted to help me, I have a great voice demo to back up my talent, or it just happens to be the perfect time for that one role they were looking for. I think it’s about being open to the possibilities of what the universe can offer you, and rolling with the punches.”
