This Is Us Star Janet Montgomery Shares Swimsuit Photo From Antigua

1. She’s a Boxer

Montgomery loves boxing, even though sometimes the workouts are almost too intense. “I started boxing a few months after I gave birth back in 2019,” she says. “My husband and I started together and it was purely so I could get back in shape: after a few months my body was back to its usual size and I stopped. I started training again in April of this year but this time it had nothing to do with aesthetics and more to do with wanting to feel strong. I felt trampled on in certain areas of my life and weak. Honestly I was probably a little depressed and was struggling to see a way out of it. I hated that my daughter saw Daddy as the strong one so I started working with my trainer to build up my overall stamina and strength. Looking back now I think I was feeling powerless in so many areas of my life. I knew that if I started training again I could regain some of that power back.”

2. Working With Trainer

Montgomery’s trainer knows how to bring the best out of her. “I am someone that needs help in order to reach my full potential,” she says. “I need to be pushed beyond my comfort level and I also need encouragement because I get self conscious easily. My trainer Henry DeLeon never goes easy on me: even when I turn on the water works! He just won’t let me give up on myself. I would say I have a love hate relationship with him because when I am not in the middle of a session I love him and love the strength he is helping me build in my body and my mind. But if you asked me in the middle of one of our sessions I would tell you that I absolutely hate the guy. Which honestly makes it a lot easier (and enjoyable) to throw punches at him.”

3. Made In Jersey

Montgomery is proud of her Made In Jersey character. “I actually just hired an assistant who is from New Jersey who has been giving me the low down in details,” she says. “She is like Italian New Jersey, so she is just perfect for me to really get a feel for exactly like the lifestyle, because I just need to really submerge myself in this role. They do get a bad rap, but then I think coming from a place like England where there is so much classism and like people from Manchester get a bad rap or people from New Cockney get a bad rap ... My eyes are open to that kind of ignorance.”

4. Making Lists

Montgomery likes to prepare for the next day by making to-do lists. “Most nights I write down a list of things I need to do the next day,” she says. “I store it in my notes on my phone. I will nearly always make the list too long but it means I have a whole checklist that keeps me on schedule because I am someone who can easily get distracted.”

5. Simple Style

Montgomery likes a low-key, simple style for everyday wear. “My personal style has always been unfussy,” she says. “I wear minimal jewelry, rarely wear heels and I am usually wearing at least one item of denim. Online shopping can be dangerous for me because I think I use it as a distraction from my thoughts. I can sit on Net-a-Porter for hours just scrolling and end up buying nothing! I hate the pressure actresses are put under to be ‘fashionable’ because it kills a lot of one's own personal style. With so much fashion influence at the touch of a screen it can be difficult to know the difference between what you like and what you are being told to like.”

Demi Moore, at 58, is as body confident as ever, posing in a swimsuit with her daughters in a new campaign for Andie swimwear. “LDW ready, with @andieswim,” she captioned the photo on Instagram, referring to the long weekend.

1. She’s Happy to Be Where She Is

Demi's approach to life? "It's about embracing and no longer looking for what's wrong and really being in acceptance of everything. Gravity is going in directions that I'm not so fond of. I can look in the mirror occasionally and say 'you're lying, I don't look like that.' but the reality is the comfort I feel in my skin is the greatest gift. I wouldn't trade it. I'm just happy to be where I am," she told InStyle.

2. She Knows Things Change

“Things do change,” Demi told W Magazine not too long ago. “The biggest difference, I think, is that I’m not in nearly as good shape physically as I have been before, and I have skin going in a direction that I would prefer it not go. There are things that just come with getting older. But I think my big mantra for this year is about acceptance. I was reading this book that was written around 1919, if I am remembering correctly, and it was very of its day. It was discussing all the ‘female’ concerns. There were some horrific suggestions on how to take care of yourself, including putting some kind of acid on your skin. But there was one thing I took away, because I think it’s true—the author said not to frown because at a certain point it will stick. And what speaks to me here is that I do believe that when we hold upset, anger, hurt, pain or bitterness, it ages us and we wear it. That isn’t to say we are always going to feel happy. But it’s important not to hold on to things.”

3. She Was Once a Workout Obsessive

When getting ready for certain revealing scenes in movies, “I cut out carbs, I ran, and I biked, and I worked out on every machine imaginable. I didn’t feel like I could stop exercising,” she wrote in her book. “It was my job to fit into that unforgiving military uniform I’d be wearing in two months in A Few Good Men. Getting in shape for that movie launched the obsession with working out that would consume me over the next five years. I never dared let up.”

4. She’s Used the Mirror

Now Demi is more likely to use the Mirror, the workout device that is an actual mirror on your wall, with built-in videos that play on it. "15 min at level 1 that’s doable … right? I am stalling!" Demi wrote once in a post. "This is going to be my next jam. Okay, here I go, wish me luck."

5. She Loves Andie Swimwear

"Demi was an early investor," Andie's founder and CEO, Melanie Travis, told InStyle. "We've always talked about what would make sense to do together, and then back in December of 2020 — in anticipation of a successful vaccine rollout and then what would hopefully be a great summer of friends and family, being able to travel, and get together again, across the United States — we felt like this could be the perfect summer to do a campaign together."
