Making Exercise Fun

To get her sweat on, the star likes to hit up group classes with girlfriends. "I prefer classes where you sweat, you laugh, you can go with your friends – I love them – with really loud pop music so it’s fun for an hour,” she told Hello in 2012. “I also walk a lot when I’m traveling, exploring new cities. I'm not a gym-in-the-hotel girl, but if there's a pool I'll use that."

Keeping a Balanced Weight

She’s not crazy about crash dieting! Before filming The Beguiled with longtime collaborator Sofia Coppola, she refused the director’s suggestion that she slim down for the role. “It’s so much harder when you’re 35 and hate working out,” Dunst told Variety.

Being Gentle With Herself

The former childhood star has made it clear she plans to put her family over her career. "I'd almost rather just write screenplays, as directing is so much of your life," she said in 2017. "Also, I'm in a place now where I do want to direct, but I more want to have a family."
