Whether you know her from Inglorious Bastards as the British spy who survived the infamous shootout scene, or from Troy as runaway queen Helen, Diane Kruger's made a name for herself for her acting skills and an elegance that reminds you of old Hollywood.
With each role and every passing year, she just looks better and better. Thankfully, the star's finally letting us in on her secrets, as part of an in-depth interview with Coveteur.
1. She Takes Time For Herself.
Kruger's all about self-care Saturdays (or whatever day it happens to fall on). She really prioritizes being able to take a day for herself to decompress. "I try to not do anything but get a manicure or pedicure — just be by myself, go see a movie by myself, not really hang out with anyone," she told the website.
2. She Sticks To The Tried-And-True.
No $1,000 facials for this starlet. Instead she opts for Cetaphil and a nice face cream to lock in moisture and protect her skin.
3. She Goes The F*ck To Sleep.
It's widely known that not getting enough sleep can cause weight gain, increase your blood pressure, and leave you feeling crabby (hello, frown lines). Kruger gets that. "I do the best, truly, when I get enough sleep," she said. "I don't know why, but I'm really not good on no sleep."
She tries to gets 9 hours of sleep, which is the recommended amount of sleep for an adult between the ages of 24 and 65.
4. She Skips Those Trendy Cleanses.
The craziest new cleanse or 10-day diet may give you short-term results, but everything we do is really about being happy. Kruger preached this among other things about staying in shape. "I don't believe in all those juicing [crazes]," she said. "I believe I should be able to eat everything I love in moderation, and I kind of do."
5. She Hits The Gym 4 to 5 Times A Week.
After having to gain weight for a film, Kruger was enthusiastic to get back to her natural size. But after some time passed without dropping the pounds, Kruger realized that she was going to have to work for it. "I do Pilates, I do Xtend Barre. I just love it, and it makes me feel strong, and I feel confident," she said.
6. She Avoids Takeout.
"I feel like when you make food for yourself, there's sort of a satisfactory thing about making good food that's actually good for you," Kruger said. We hear that. Nothing's better than a delicious, healthy meal made by yourself, for yourself (with a little of our help, of course).
