The Boys' Claudia Doumit Shares Behind the Scenes Photos in Bed With Homelander

Is it getting hot in here or have we just been looking too long at photos of one handsome devil? Tom Ellis and the stars of Lucifer have entertained us for six seasons, and we're not alone, after the show's popularity surged on Netflix. How do they stay so fit? Read on for their get-well, stay-well secrets.

Tom Ellis played the title character on the show. He likes to weight train to stay in shape. Ellis shared this video on Instagram of himself doing overhead cable pull-downs at the gym. He captioned the post, “Nothing says ‘Saturday’ more than the old kneeling-over-head-narrow-grip-cable-pull down. According to @paolomascitti anyway.”

2. Kevin Alejandro

Kevin Alejandro played Dan Espinoza on the show. He talked about his workout routine to Men’s Journal. “I bought this thing called ‘The Rack,’ and I basically set up a little gym in my trailer,” Alejandro says. “It’s an all-in-one thing, so I use it as a dip bar, for pushups, curls—everything. I have dumbbells in there and a stability ball, so I can do any type of workout when I have time. I usually will do a full-body workout of some kind, a solid 30 minutes with no rest, that really gets things going. I’ll do it during lunch, and that will satisfy my mind and my body for that day—knowing I was able to get something in.”

DB Woodside played Amenadiel Canaan. He talked about finding acting in college with the University of Albany magazine. “What I loved about theater was that I loved everyone there. These were people who may have felt like an outsider in every other part of their lives – so many cultures, so many ways to live your life – but here they had a home. It became like a second family to me.”

4. Lesley-Ann Brandt

Lesley-Ann Brandt played Mazikeen Smith on the show. She tells Shape Magazine that she is plant-based and likes to try new things. "I'll be honest, I do love an Impossible Burger, but I honestly just fell in love with trying different cuisines, new recipes, and finding new ways to fuel my body and keep me energized."

5. Tricia Helfer

Tricia Helfer played Goddess on the show. She shared her favorite workouts with SELF Magazine. “If I could only do one workout, I'd run or hike (I'm a heavy-duty hiker) with some calisthenics as well -- you have to tone up, too. But there always has to be some cardio involved. You gotta get your heart rate going. [To keep things fresh] I mix up my workouts: One day [I'll do] yoga, one day's running and weights, one day I'm doing Pilates, one day's hiking.”

6. Tom Welling

Tom Welling played Cain on the show’s third season. He also played Clark Kent on Smallville, and talked about the impact the role had to Nerds & Beyond. “This is a horrible answer, but I don’t miss him. It’s not something I would lose sleep over, wanting to go back and do it again. In fact, to be completely egotistical, when I watch it, I’m like, ‘I did a pretty good job for having zero experience.’ And I mean that with respect. I don’t mean that I didn’t like it — I actually enjoy watching it now. I don’t think I could have watched it 10 years ago and enjoyed it. But I’m older, I have kids now … my little boys have seen me on TV. I wouldn’t have had that 10 years ago, so I’m really enjoying it now.”

7. Aimee Garcia

Aimee Garcia played Ella Lopez on the show. She told Glamour that she wants to represent the Latina community with her roles. “I feel a big responsibility to represent what it means to be a Latina to a global audience. I'll never forget when a group of young girls [Latinas] came up to me and said, 'Oh my God, we love Veronica on the George Lopez show! She's so funny and stylish, and we love that she's a Latina millionaire.' And I thought, Wow, the roles that I pick aren't just to pay rent but they're also to represent my community. It's bigger than me.

8. Rachael Harris

Rachael Harris played Dr. Linda Martin on the show. She works with trainer Paolo Mascitti to help her stay in shape. "She told me she wanted to train like the boys," Mascitti said to Shape. "Her goals weren't aesthetic-based. She just wanted to feel strong…We usually focus on a certain muscle group. One day we might do the chest, back and shoulders and another day we might focus on the glutes, quads and hamstrings."

9. Lindsey Gort

Lindsey Gort played Candy Fletcher on the show. She talked about finding self-confidence to Marie Claire. “It took a while for me to figure out that everyone has imperfections and nothing is worse than someone that constantly points out what they hate about themselves. Loving yourself overshadows any lumps and bumps you think you have.”

Explore the fitness routines of the actors from "Burn Notice," a thrilling TV series about Michael Weston, a former spy who finds himself 'burned' and cut off from his intelligence agency. The show follows Michael's endeavors to uncover why he's been burned while helping others with his espionage skills. Jeffrey Donovan, portraying Michael, enjoys diving for fitness. Gabrielle Anwar, as Fiona, practices yoga. Each cast member, including Bruce Campbell and Coby Bell, shares their unique approach to wellness, reflecting the diverse methods they use to maintain health amidst the physical and mental demands of acting in this action-packed series.

1. Jeffrey Donovan

Jeffrey Donovan played lead character, Michael Weston, on the show. In a 2011 interview with Men’s Health, he revealed that he loves to dive to stay in shape. "Diving is a very solitary, very insular, peaceful activity. At 100 feet there are no phones, and no one's bothering you—there's just a bunch of fish wondering what the hell you're doing in their backyard."

2. Gabrielle Anwar

Gabrielle Anwar played one of the main roles, Fiona Glenanne. In a 2010 interview with SELF, Anwar revealed that she practices yoga to stay in shape. “I love yoga because every muscle is being toned from the moment one spreads their toes on that mat. My goal is not to target the area that might be less toned than another, my goal is to feel that during each pose, I bring awareness into each muscle, each space around each muscle, each joint, each space around each joint, and so on and so on, so that I do not neglect a single part of my whole. I am less concerned about an area of 'imperfection,' because I am not a professional bodybuilder, model nor trainer. What I am is imperfect. Gleefully so.”

3. Bruce Campbell

Bruce Campbell played one of the main characters, Sam Axe, on the show. He talked about what he thinks makes a successful film or series with Artpublika Magazine. “Everybody involved in a project, in my opinion, has to let the material rule. If it’s a comedy, then liven up your game. If it’s a serious drama, ok, tone it down a little bit; keep the intensity. And, everybody has got to be in the same movie. Actors are not allowed to be in their own little sphere; they have to acknowledge the world around them.”

4. Coby Bell

Coby Bell played Jesse Porter, joining the main cast in season four. He also appeared in the 2017 FOX sci-fi series, The Gifted. Bell shared how the show incorporates social issues to Show Biz Junkies. “I guess it’s a way of talking about social issues without talking directly about them, you know? It makes it a little more palatable, a little less preachy. But at that same time, the message is getting across. It’s really cool. Starting with Star Trek, they were breaking some serious barriers but it’s in outer space so it’s fine. So, yes, I never thought about it. It’s cool.”

5. Tricia Helfer

Tricia Helfer played Carla Baxter in season two. She has amazing skin, and makes sure to take care of it. “I like to use Proactiv cleansers when I’m working, because they seem to deep clean the skin from all the set makeup,” she told Real Style Network. “When I’m not working, I use a Kiehl’s Rare Earth cleanser and cucumber toner. For toners, serums and moisturizers, I vary it between Nars, Kiehl’s, Prai and La Mer. When I was filming in New Mexico last fall, the climate is so insanely dry that the only thing that kept my skin from falling off was La Mer. It’s so expensive but it certainly did help with that crazy climate.”

6. Moon Bloodgood

Moon Bloodgood played Michelle Paxson in season three. She is an action star known for her roles in Falling Skies and Terminator Salvation. While promoting Falling Skies, Bloodgood revealed to CineSnob that she does a lot of her own stunts. “I did a lot of my own stunts in ‘Terminator Salvation.’ With this one, it’s not as physical because I play a doctor. I’m not out in the field battling with the aliens. At times it was physical, because doing a show of this kind of magnitude is crazy. There are crazy and demanding hours.”

7. Chris Vance

Chris Vance played the recurring role Mason Gilroy in season three. While promoting his show Transporter, Vance revealed the intense training he did to prepare for it. “I put in about three months of training before we start the shoot,” he told My Take On TV. “Before the first principle day of photography, I generally put in about three months of training. Just for stamina reasons; it’s not always to do with fighting. It’s a lot to do with stamina training, stretching, running and aerobic sort of training.”

8. Sonja Sohn

Sonja Sohn played Olivia Riley in season six. She shared how she stays in shape for roles to DailyActor. “My health and wellness regimen in general is more influenced by just the way I want to feel as a human being. But also, being an actress and being in front of the camera, you do have to be conscious of that, and so it’s more tied into just understanding the nature of my job. Iimage is a big part of the job. And how you are – and how the camera captures you is important. But like I said, it's more influenced by just my personal choice on what kind of shape I want to be in. I might want to be walking around 25 years from now, so I should be eating and exercising.”

9. Danny Pino

Danny Pino played Adam Scott in the fourth season. He shared his secrets to a successful marriage to Closer Weekly. “It takes work. So even on days you don’t necessarily feel like you want to follow through with things, it’s important to make the effort, to show that you’re there and you care, to try to understand what’s going on. Just like in acting, the most important thing in a relationship for me is listening. And we love to travel together!”

10. Patton Oswalt

Patton Oswalt had a recurring role as Calvin Schmidt in the sixth season. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Oswalt opened up about returning to comedy after the passing of his first wife. “I had this weird breakthrough onstage during a set down in Irvine last month, like, ‘Oh, this is just going to be uncomfortable. I’m going to have to make comedy out of it being uncomfortable.’ That set was the first one where I just embraced how awful it was.”

11. Garret Dillahunt

Garret Dillahunt played the villainous Simon Escher on the show. He talked about his career to Leo Edit. “I directed an episode of Raising Hope, and I enjoyed it very much. For a long time, I didn’t have any aspirations beyond that. I felt very fulfilled. I feel pretty lucky in the roles I’ve gotten to play as an actor. I know plenty of actors that can do what I do. I get flattered when people say, you can do anything, you do comedy, you do drama, you do whatever, because I feel like I know so many people that can do that and do it even better, but just weren’t given the opportunity. And I’ve been given those opportunities, and I love it and I never thought I would produce anything. But as you get older, you want to have a little more of a hand in things. If I’m not having fun, what’s the point? And so, if you think you can do better, why don’t you get your hands a little dirty? And I wish I’d done that a long time ago. Don’t wait until you think you deserve it or that you have all the knowledge, ’cause you’ll never feel that way.”

The cast of Riverdale not only brought to life the intriguing tales of the Archie Comics universe but also showcased enviable fitness, beauty, and wellness routines.

KJ Apa turned to trainer Alex Fine to get in shape for playing Archie Andrews Riverdale. Fine shared Apa’s workout routine to The New York Post, and he specifically did prison-style workouts with the actor. “With KJ, we did a lot of that, and weights with really high repetitions. We did a lot of chest and shoulders — with actors, you want to stick with chest and shoulders — since on-camera, it looks better.”

2. Lili Reinhart

Lili Reinhart, who played Betty Cooper, talked about how she embraces acne in an interview with Byrdie. “It's just a matter of telling myself that the only person who's bothered by this is me. Once you can embrace that and accept that, it's easier to just let go of it. I also obsess and can't stop looking in the mirror at my breakout, so when I convince myself to put my phone away, stop looking at my reflection, stop looking at a mirror, you forget about it."

3. Camila Mendes

Camila Mendes played Veronica Lodge on Riverdale. She shared some of her skincare tips in an interview with Glamour. Mendes says that she makes sure to remove all the makeup she wears on set. “I swear by Dr. Kay’s Wipe Away the Day Treatment Pads. They provide my skin with much needed exfoliation after a long day of wearing heavy makeup on set, and I’ll often follow that up with a soothing Loops mask like Night Shift. The Eminence Organics Stone Crop Hydrating Mist is also one of my recent favorites. I like to spray a few spritzes of that on a cotton pad and wipe my face with it after cleansing. Not only does it remove all the extra product residue on my skin, but it also smells incredible.”

4. Cole Sprouse

Cole Sprouse, who played Jughead Jones, took fitness advice from his co-star, KJ Apa. “It’s good being on a show with people like KJ who are monsters,” he said to People. “He’s ripped, he’s been ripped since he was like 10, so it’s nice going to the gym with dudes like that because I just mimic what they are doing and by proxy I get an exercise I never thought I would be able to get, which is one of the perks of being on a teen drama!”

5. Madelaine Petsch

Madelaine Petsch played fan-favorite character, Cheryl Blossom, on Riverdale. She broke down her diet and exercise routine to People. Petsch says that she has a vegan diet. “I’ve been plant-based my whole life. Being vegan keeps my body fueled and running smoothly.”

6. Ashleigh Murray

Ashleigh Murray, who plays Josie McCoy, shared her skincare routine with POPSugar. “I'm not married to any serum. Whatever works. For my moisturizer, I sometimes use a combination of essential oils, like jojoba and coconut and a little bit of juniper sometimes, a little bit of lavender; definitely tea tree for that acne. And if not that, than just any yummy thing from Lush. I love Lush. And sunscreen from Murad. This is good for all the brown girls that don't want to get that horrible ghost face or anyone that doesn't want ghost face — it's called Murad Invisablur Perfecting Shield. It's a clear chemical sunscreen and it has mattifying properties too. It doubles as a primer. It's bomb.”

7. Charles Melton

Charles Melton, who played Reggie Mantle, opened up about his wellness to GQ. “I’ve just finished three months of not eating any red meat, after I spoke to a nutritionist. The plan he put me on has been life-changing and improved my relationship with food. It sounds like it could be tedious but I take pictures of everything I eat, creating a food diary on my phone. I have yet to have any KBBQ, but when I do it has to be the best red meat.”

8. Vanessa Morgan

Vanessa Morgan played Toni Topaz on Riverdale, and eventually became a larger character. She talked about her approach to skincare to WhoWhatWear. “It's key not to neglect your body. I always keep my face moist. The body moisturizer from Gold Bond is great for that because they have a lot of products that are good for dehydrated skin. So that's key when you're in the sun so even if I'm not the best with my sunscreen as long as my skin is moisturized, it doesn't flake or peel and I find I look young.”

9. Drew Ray Tanner

In addition to playing Fangs Fogarty on Riverdale, Drew Ray Tanner starred in the film Work It. He shared his training process in an interview with Men’s Health. "We called it a 21-Day No Days Off program," says Tanner. "Essentially it was cardio in the morning, then in the afternoon it would be strength and conditioning training. If there was a day off, it would be like a 15 mile run. Then I got to have a no run day the next day–but still did strength and conditioning."

10. Madchen Amick

In addition to playing Alice Cooper, Madchen Amick also has her own website. She opened up about her diet in this post. “I spend so much time and energy on eating clean. Organic, pesticide-free, non-GMO, non-hormone, etc. We have medial grade air-filters in our house to keep the air we breath as clean as possible. We not only filter our drinking water but also our bathing water. Carefully choose non-toxic and environmentally friendly cleaning products. Use alternative building products for our home, like toxic-free milk paint, wood stains and insulation. And the list goes on.”

11. Marisol Nichols

Marisol Nichols played Hermione Lodge, Veronica’s mother, on Riverdale. She tells Women’s Health that when it comes to her diet, she has to enjoy the food she eats. “My food philosophy is this: You’re not going to stick with any lifestyle change unless it tastes good. Otherwise it’s torture. And why would you do that to yourself?”

12. Mark Consuelos

Mark Consuelos played Hiram Lodge, Veronica’s criminal mastermind father on Riverdale. One thing he likes to do to keep himself in shape is swim.

13. Skeet Ulrich

My daughter is wisely vegan, and I’m trying hard to join her… I love to cook. My favorite meal to cook is vegan lasagna with sweet potatoes and mushrooms.”

14. Molly Ringwald

Shutterstock

Molly Ringwald, who played Mary Andrews, wrote an essay in Marie Claire about her beauty mark and what it taught her. “I like to imagine you were teaching me a lesson: Here is beauty, but don't get too attached. And that goes for all of it. One day, the same breasts whose arrival is first heralded with bewilderment, shyness, and excitement will grow and then shrink after babies. They'll become something else. Not bad, just different. Everything that's big will become smaller, and what we want to remain small will grow bigger. Even our ears will grow. Fingers will begin to become crooked from multiple injuries, and the arches in our feet will fall. Everything that we ever found beautiful about ourselves in the mirror, no matter how long we manage to delay it, will eventually go under the category of a ‘different kind of beauty.’ Every day I practice being OK with that.”

15. Robin Givens

Robin Givens talked about playing Sierra McCoy in an interview with TooFab. "I think it is unbelievably important that people who look like me are represented on television," Givens said. "I used to be competitive in academics and there wasn't really division, but [racial division] is considered to be okay in this industry and I think it's important that everyone feels they are included and represented. I'm very proud to be a part of a show that represents diversity and America in every way."

3. Diane Lane

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Diane Lane shared her approach to skincare with The New York Times. “What I do now, I create a mantle when I go to sleep. When I wake up, all I do is spray some Lavender Hydrasol by Arcona and go with my own natural facial oils that I generate through the night. When it comes to choosing which skin-care products I use, I keep going back to the women I actually have a whole lot of respect for. They are facialists who have their own product lines. I throw in some other stuff, too, but in general they are my tried and true.”

4. Amy Adams

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

In 2013, while promoting her movie Man of Steel, Amy Adams gave an interview to Allure. In it, she talked about her approach to body image. "Some of these actresses or public personas who are very public about their disciplined diets, more power to them. I just don't see the point. Do you know, the people I love as actresses, I've never, ever sought out pictures of them to see what they look like in a swimsuit."

5. Nicole Kidman

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

In 2014, Nicole Kidman talked about her favorite exercises to the Los Angeles Times. "Variety is the best way I’ve found. If you think you are going to wake up and run five miles every morning for the rest of your life, you’ll get bored and hit the snooze button after a week. So I try and mix it up with sports, running, yoga, and even just going for a walk with my husband and the kids.”

6. Maribel Verdú

Maribel Verdú shared some of her favorite workouts with Women’s Health. “What I want, what I try, what I aspire to is to be in my best 49, 50 and 51 and those that fall. Part of my physique is due to genetics, but I have been practicing yoga for many years. I walk as if there was no tomorrow, and twice a week I do functional strength training: fitball, rubber bands, TRX ... Wherever I am.”

7. Sasha Calle

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Sasha Calle opened up about playing Supergirl to the Dallas Observer. "With Supergirl, it really felt as if it were written in the stars and I think the universe knew what it was doing. So it felt very natural for me. Of course, it was overwhelming and so many things are happening but I walked in with an open heart and ready to play this character."

8. Amber Heard

Amber Heard shared a lot of the workouts she did to prepare for Aquaman on Instagram. One thing she did is practice yoga. Heard shared this video of herself doing poses on her head and feet. She captioned the post, “Queen of yog-Atlantis?”

9. Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie worked with trainer Andie Hecker to get in shape for her role as Harley Quinn. Hecker opened up about what Robbie did in a 2015 interview with People. “We did a lot of heavy-weighted, low reps of arabesque pulls hooked up to resistance pulleys, as well as arabesque lifts with heavy ankle weights in order to build and lift the butt. We also did a tonne of side-series outer thigh work, targeting outer glutes with high reps and low weights, to pull her muscles in and creative a beautiful line from the waist to the upper thigh."

10. Diane Guerrero

Diane Guerrero opened up about her self-care approach to Well + Good. “Certainly now that my mental health is better, the treatment toward my body has been a lot better,” she explained. “That's the one thing that I've noticed that has been so good and so amazing. I'm not saying, ‘Hey, self care is just taking a bath or a shower….’ Generally, I kind of just stay clean. And I try to remember everything that I have, like stuff that makes me feel better.”

11. Melissa Benoist

Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images

Melissa Benoist opened up about how she got in shape to play Supergirl on The CW series to TrainForHer.com. “I do a lot of boxing, Pilates and then some strength training. There is a lot of core work and it’s quite ab-centric. Core strength is a big thing with this role, as there’s a lot of wirework so you need to be able to carry your whole bodyweight when you’re up in the air.”

12. Emily Bett Rickards

Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

After starring on Arrow, Emily Bett Rickards told Collider in 2019 that she wanted to change some things in her life. “I think I’m going to take a break for awhile, and do a little bit of theater, coming up in New York (Reborning at the SoHo Playhouse from July 5th through August 3rd). And then, after that, I’m hoping to continue doing theater for a little bit longer. My friends are a bunch of creative geniuses, so no matter what, that’s the way I’m going right now. I’ll never say no to doing TV again. For now, life has changed dramatically, already.”

13. Katie Cassidy

While starring on Arrow, Katie Cassidy talked to InStyle about her diet. “It’s a lot of protein, vegetables, greens and skipping the red meat. I’ve been like that for a very long time; it’s just a personal preference. Always do the same breakfast: smoked salmon, poached eggs, avocado, multi-grain toast, grapefruit juice, and coffee.”

14. Candice Patton

Steve Granitz/FilmMagic

Candice Patton talked about her wellness routine in an interview with BlackDoctor.org. “I force myself to make time. I love my job, but being on set all day sometimes gets tiring, but either working out before or after or even during break. I also try to eat healthy, like substitute kale chips for potato chips and try to stay away from fatty foods.”

15. Chyler Leigh

In 2019, Chyler Leigh revealed that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She talked about this in an interview with Prevention. “I was so terrified because of my past,” she says. “I was so worried about turning into all of the things I hated when I was growing up, but it was life or death. I was going to make a change, or I wouldn’t be here anymore.”

16. Danielle Panabaker

Danielle Panabaker talked about playing the role of Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost on The Flash to Comic Book Resources, and expressed her gratitude. “I feel so lucky. Everything about this show is uncommon. It's uncommon to do 184 episodes. It's uncommon to get to play so many characters over that time. It keeps it exciting. It's a lot of fun.”

17. Ciara Renee

Bruce Glikas/Getty Images

In addition to her role on Legends of Tomorrow, Ciara Renee is also a Broadway star. She opened up about how she stays fit during shows to FitForBroadway.com. “There'll be times when I do yoga 3-5 times a week, run once or twice, see my personal trainer for strength training, and take a cycling class on the side. But there are definitely other weeks where I get busy and end up only doing the 7-Minute workout app every day, and just let that and the show be my workout. I try to be active everyday, unless I've decided I really need a recovery day. Those days usually consist of a massage (because duh), a lot of food, a good nap, and a TON of water.”

18. Tala Ashe

John Lamparski/Getty Images

Tala Ashe opened up about playing Zari on Legends of Tomorrow to Comicbook.com. "I was really nervous about it coming into the world," Ashe admitted. "I felt like I had a really good time filming it. It was the kind of experience I like to have, which is, I'm overwhelmed and I'm challenged in a wonderful way. And I had a lot of support from the writers and from the director, Ben Bray, who I really collaborated well with. But after that, I don't remember exactly how many months it was we had to wait until it was in the world. It happens often as an actor, where when you're doing something it's very different than what you end up seeing. And I'm particularly hard on myself. Maybe they sent me a cut like a week before or something, but I hadn't really seen it until about the time that the public did, so I was nervous and it was an enormous relief [when the episode aired]."

19. Juliana Harkavy

Juliana Harkavy talked about starring on Arrow to Marie Claire. “Playing Dinah has made me a healthier, happier person. Because she is so strong and skilled, I eat cleaner, workout more, and take time to breathe and meditate so I can do her justice.”

20. Gal Gadot

In order to play Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot has to be in great shape. She turns to trainer Magnus Lygdback to help her. Lygdback talked about Gadot’s process for getting in shape for Wonder Woman 1984 to The Hollywood Reporter. “We weren’t going for the most muscle mass possible. We wanted to build a strong foundation, focus on keeping Gal mobile and uninjured.”

Anna Torv played Tess on the show. She talked about how she got into acting with The Sydney Morning Herald.

He also worked on Terminator: Dark Fate, and shared how he got in shape for the film to Blackfilm.com. “It wasn't until I really started training with the trainer they provided me and the nutritionist that I was able to see the gains and to see my body change. It was really interesting because Josephine was my first trainer, and she comes from a bit of a CrossFit background in power lifting. So she helped me shed a lot of body weight and to start to strengthen my skeletal muscles and build lean muscle. Then in Madrid, I had a trainer named Rafa and he was also a bit of a CrossFit guy, but as a male, he also was a bit of a heavier lifter, so he started to get my body lifting heavier weights. Then of course, in Budapest, I had Adam. He comes from a bodybuilding background.”
