Movie Stars Are Just Like Us – Part I
7 Comments June 24, 2009 / Posted in UncategorizedMaybe you’ve occasionally thought, heard, or even read somewhere that celebrities have it easier when it comes to working out, eating right, and maintaining their Hollywood body. But, celebrities really are just like us when it comes to keeping their bodies looking good. If anything, it’s often even harder for the celebs to get in their workouts and make good decisions when it comes to their diet. Shooting films on location with schedules that are anything but convenient, can make getting your workout quite a challenge. And, have you ever been near a Craft Service Table? Talk about temptation!!
My client Rachel Nichols (star the new Star Trek, and the upcoming G.I. Joe movie) is currently in Catskill, New York, shooting the independent film, Meskada. While it’s true that sometimes on big budget movies there are trainers and chefs, more often than not, it’s up to the actors themselves to keep fit. Often, they work long hours with food temptations everywhere. Rachel offered to give us a behind the scenes look at what it’s really like to keep fit while making a movie…
Here we have the fancy movie star lodging:
Of course, no movie set would be complete without healthy, gourmet snacks to maintain a bikini worthy body:
This is part of the Kraft Service table…there were donuts earlier, but they were taunting me so I walked away and by the time I came back they had disappeared. Now, let’s see, I had breakfast at 6:30am and am definitely wanting a snack, but, for some reason, the apples don’t look as appealing as the Peanut M&Ms. Why is that? Bah. I’ll grab a water instead… – Rach, Xxx!
–Good job, Rach! Love, Val
And don’t forget to take a peek at the luxurious, well equipped workout area:
For anyone worried about having enough space to do a full workout…just show them this picture! It has been raining here, so I’ve had to workout on the floor in my tiny cabin…and it hasn’t been an issue. The booties (for the Valslide) have been a lifesaver as well. Thankfully I have a TV so I can put it on in the background to keep me company since I don’t have you! -Rach, Xxx!
–Thank goodness for Valslides!! The booties allow you to convert your Valslides for use on hardwood or tile floors.
I love this! I really have no excuse for eating junk….just need to say no like Rachel did. I’m stronger than the lure of the M&Ms. Or will be!
The workout area is the funniest. You really can get a workout in anywhere….
Motivation +++
Thank you
This was totally awesome! I love these photos. I can see how it would be a lot harder sometimes for them. I mean checkout the luxe amenities! I can imagine what Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber while they were filming Defiance on location in winter in such a small town!! Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do! Love ya Val! Keep these coming.
What are the booties used for?? I’ve never seen those or heard anything about them.
Thanks Grainne!
Thanks Marylin!
Erin, the booties are covers for the Valslides that allow you to use them on hardwood or tile floors!
Hugs,
Val
