The two-time Golden Globe nominee is certainly not afraid of putting herself out there, having recently posed completely nude for the latest cover of Women's Health UK, as part of their annual naked celebrities issue.

Speaking about maintaining her toned figure, she told the magazine: 'I'm not perfect. I'm not trying to represent myself as being some perfect girl, but I love myself, flaws and all. Everyone has their own things, and I have my own list.

'Right now, I feel physically in my best shape, and emotionally in my best place. I'm not the kind of person who would go to the gym.

'For me, working out has to be good for my mind too, and when I leave [spinning class SoulCycle], the endorphins are buzzing, I'm glowing and I feel like I can take on the world.'
