1. She Works Out, Sometimes With Her Mom

“Working out with mama!” Purnell captioned a pic of the two in a gym. “Exercise and physical activity can be enjoyable. They give you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting,” says the Mayo Clinic. “So take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. Bored? Try something new, or do something with friends or family.”

2. She Trained for an Action Movie

For the movie Army of the Dead: “I went to the gym and did boxing lessons with my stepdad, but I’m just not that way inclined. I’ve got the upper-body strength of a spoon and I’m not very coordinated. I’d get told off because if I try to look cool, I’m doing something else weird with my limbs. When I was running, if I’m holding my gun with one hand, I’m doing gun hands with the other [laughs]. We spent time with these two nice ex-army dudes. They taught us how to shoot, move as a team and have each other’s backs,” she told Vogue.

3. Here are Sage Words About Mental Health

“I didn’t realise that with this support system that I’ve relied on to be there for me—my friends and family who love me and who I love—sometimes you have to tell them you love them. Now what I’m finding interesting is choosing how to spend my time and the people I surround myself with, and how that has a direct impact on my mental health. I had some big talks this year. I’ve got friends of 15 years and we haven’t had a deep conversation in five or six years. Time doesn’t stop like that very often and it won’t stop in the future, so it’s about taking that time out to do that,” she told Vogue.

4. This Was Her Comfort During the Early Days of the Pandemic

“White chocolate and raspberry muffins! [laughs] I was based in Los Angeles for the majority of lockdown. I was reading through my journal a couple of nights ago, and I was like, ‘Wow!’ I grew up. A lot of stuff went down in my personal life and I had to find hobbies. I’ve been working since I was nine years old. I feel like I was sort of deficient in other parts of my life. My relationships got stronger. I discovered that I love plants, painting and writing poetry. I went camping for a month in California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. I learned a lot about myself and overcame some demons,” she told Vogue.

5. Here’s Her Take on Jackie and Shauna’s Relationship

On Yellowjackets, Purnell’s character and ’s character has an intense relationship, sharing secrets but hiding others, supportive while also undermining. "I think Jackie and Shauna are in deep-friend love…. Maybe some of the dynamics between them are a little more complicated because there’s a lot of jealousy and possession and codependence. And that comes up a lot in female friendships."

1. Supporting Her Peers

Osment goes out of her way to support her fellow actors. “I find it is in my wheelhouse to suggest actors for things,” she says. “So that’s always fun when someone’s like, ‘Hey we have this role coming up in a couple episodes, do you know any actors that might be good for it?’ and I’m like [gasps] oh my god I do! It feels good to stand up for the rest of your team. I studied theater in college and the theater community that you have is so important, and I feel like in ‘Hollywood’ so to speak, it’s such a solitary individual career path sometimes you have and I don’t feel that in Los Angeles. I have so many friends that are actors that there is no competition and I feel like having the ability to suggest friends for things is such a wonderful aspect of my job. You can vouch for people and in return, they can vouch for you later. It feels good.”

2. Pulling the SAG Card

Osment is confident in her abilities after acting since she was a child. “I’ve been a SAG member for 23 years and that is something that’s nice to keep in my arsenal,” she says. “If anyone tries to mess with me I can pull that out. I don’t, but it’s nice to know that if things go awry I can say ‘Hey, I’ve been doing this a while and I know how things should go.”

3. Straight Man

Osment is happy to play the more low key roles and let others be silly. “I like [playing the] straight man,” she says. “I think it’s a little more fun and a little more challenging if you can’t fall back on physical comedy or an outrageous line or an outrageous performance. If you actually have to be funny without using all of your skills from previous comedy jobs, it’s more challenging, it’s more fun. I like that, and watching my fellow castmates shine and be ridiculous.”

4. No Time For Haters

Osment has learned to ignore critics. “There are always those people who say, ‘That’s not even you singing,’ or, ‘You didn’t even write that song,’ or ‘This lyric is about somebody.’ There are always going to be people who dislike,” she says. “But there are always going to be people who love, as well.”

5. She’s Good At Lots of Things

Osment refuses to be pushed into a box, saying she loves to do many different things. “I’m capable of doing many things,” she says. “I’m a phenomenal golfer. I love to act. I can sing. I can play guitar. I write music. I can dance really well. I can cook. I do a lot of things. I do A LOT of things. And you just have to get to know me. I don’t judge a book by its cover. I don’t look at one person and go, ‘Oh, Justin Bieber is a musician.’ But he might also be a pro race car driver. I don’t know—I don’t know him. You can’t just put someone in one place…no one just does one thing.”

Em Sheldon is a well-known influencer. She does a lot of advertisements and traveling. Last month, Sheldon traveled to Los Angeles. She shared some of the activities she did on the trip in a reel. In it, she enjoyed food, the scenery, and went to the gym. She captioned the post, “Truth is I used to dislike Los Angeles then I visited with locals & people who’d grown up there and honestly it’s now one of my favourite places to visit in the US (apart from the fact people don’t walk anywhere).”

1. She Promotes Positivity

Sheldon is all about promoting positivity. She encouraged her followers to do so in the caption of this Instagram reel. “I didn’t actually want to be that girl but just a reminder that people aren’t posting their failures, tears cried or challenges they faced to get to where they are today. There are so many chapters people go through that we know nothing about. That said, I’m 100% here for people sharing the things that made them happy and gave them positivity - please share the positive things you did in the last year, shout about your achievements from the rooftops but if you are feeling as if you failed the last year or didn’t achieve enough, didn’t do enough then just a reminder that everyone has parts of the story they haven’t shared and I’m sure hurdles they faced.”

2. She Swims

In the previous reel, Sheldon is seen swimming in a natural pool. Better Health states that swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Swimming has many other benefits including: being a relaxing and peaceful form of exercise, alleviating stress, improving coordination, balance and posture, improving flexibility, providing good low-impact therapy for some injuries and conditions, providing a pleasant way to cool down on a hot day.”

3. She Skis

Sheldon is a big fan of skiing. She shared this reel on Instagram of herself enjoying a ski trip. Sheldon captioned the post, “Olympic skiing or Olympic race to see how much food & I can enjoy on a ski trip 🤭 In my defense, we clocked at least 5 hours skiing per day but tasting the local food is my favorite part of most trips and nowhere does it quite like France. The best way to round off a day skiing? Good food. I actually ski better when I’ve eaten well. Ski trips don’t sound so bad after all huh and Megeve is one of the best ski resorts I’ve been to for food.”

4. She Has The Right Friends

Sheldon makes sure to choose the right people to be friends with. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Friendships you don’t need a social battery for 🫶🏼 send this to the friends who fill your cup and recharge your batteries 💌 I’m so grateful to surround myself full of people who recharge me, I think it’s the biggest compliment when someone says they feel lifted after spending with with you or that you have good energy. Energy attracts energy so surround yourself with the radiators not the drain.”

5. She Savors The Small Things

Sheldon is all about savoring the small things. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram reel. “After all, the small things really are the big things ✨ I romanticise the small things in life like my morning coffee, my daily walk, even when it’s raining I try to tell myself how cosy it is. There’s beauty in the mundane / every day moments that pass us by.”

Osment worked with Michael Douglas on The Kominsky Method. She talked about the lessons he had taught her while filming. Osment says that she learned how to be relaxed when shooting a scene. “Relaxing is the best method of acting,” she told E! News. Here's a technique, from the Mayo Clinic: "Autogenic relaxation. Autogenic means something that comes from within you. In this relaxation technique, you use both visual imagery and body awareness to reduce stress. You repeat words or suggestions in your mind that may help you relax and reduce muscle tension. For example, you may imagine a peaceful setting and then focus on controlled, relaxing breathing, slowing your heart rate, or feeling different physical sensations, such as relaxing each arm or leg one by one."
