Here are some photos of Robin Wright last Thursday at the party for her Los Angeles Confidential magazine cover. The cover is the issue dedicated to “Women of Influence.” Robin’s got a new career lease ever since House of Cards, which is great for her. I wish more actresses would realize that better parts (and better money) are in TV rather than film. At the event, Robin spoke to People Mag about how happy she is these days and, much like her recent Botox confessions, Robin was honest about her diet and what she does to stay in shape. None of this “I eat French fries all the time!” nonsense.
She’s starring on a hit television show. She’s planning her wedding to fiancé Ben Foster. She’s the proud mother of two. And somehow, in between it all, actress Robin Wright, 48, manages to stay in amazing shape. So, what’s her secret? “I have Spanx on,” Wright told PEOPLE at the Los Angeles Confidential party celebrating her cover issue this week in Hollywood. “Always! I have to wear them all the time!”
Yes, Wright uses Spanx “to hold the bakery in”, as she jokes, but (of course!) she doesn’t rely solely on the support garment. “I ran on the beach this morning,” Wright said. “Running gets everything done, doesn’t it? Covers it all.”
And with the new season of House of Cards getting ready to start filming and an upcoming wedding to plan, Wright is focusing on her figure more than ever. “I’m trying to do the paleo diet. No carbs. I’ve got to get thin for the show,” explained Wright.
But of course, the key to looking so radiant doesn’t lie entirely in supportive undergarments or a strict diet — being happy goes a long way. “I love my life,” Wright told PEOPLE. “What are you going to say? I love my life right now.”
Ah, the Paleo Diet. A fancier version of Atkins. The Paleo Diet is the no-carb one, emphasis on “no grains.” Lots of fruits and vegetables, and decent portions of meat. I was just wondering the other day if the no-carb craze was going to die down in my lifetime, whether dieticians and food experts would claim, a decade from now, that oh wait carbs are fine and it’s something else entirely that we should avoid. But kudos to Robin for running – that really does keep people in shape. I don’t run! Bedhead runs. I walk. Walking keeps you in decent shape too. And it’s easier on the knees.
Anyway, I just like how happy Robin sounds these days. I think her happiness with Ben Foster is probably one of the big reasons why Sean Penn is so “happy” with Charlize Theron. I really do think that it’s tit-for-tat with Robin and Sean, at least in his mind. I think Robin is over it though.
