Hollywood legend Michelle Pfeiffer proves that aging gracefully and staying radiant isn’t about complicated routines—it’s about one simple daily habit she refuses to skip.
The 67-year-old Oscar-nominated actress revealed her beauty secret in an interview with Fox News Digital for the new Paramount+ series “The Madison,” explaining that the real formula is a mix of good genetics, healthy habits and happiness.
“Oh my God,” Pfeiffer laughed when asked about her wellness regimen. “My genetics are really good. My mom, my sisters… look, I take good care of myself. I eat really well. I quit smoking early enough.”

“And I exercise. Exercise is really important, and I’m happy; I think it shows… it’s healthy.”
Pfeiffer’s co-star Kurt Russell, 74, laughed and said: “It can be done, I live with Goldie Hawn, I can promise you it can be done.”
When Fox News Digital asked Pfeiffer about her indisputable beauty rule, she said it’s just about keeping the momentum going; It’s a small but powerful habit that ignites her sparkle.

“Honestly, I think exercise is the best thing for your skin. It’s best for your brain, it’s the best thing for everything,” she said.
“I wish there was only one thing you could do that would make you look better – exercise. Sweat… Sanjay Gupta says everyone should sweat a little bit every day. I sweat a lot… It really helps with confusion.”

“I had a great time working with him on ‘Tequila Sunrise,’ and honestly we didn’t have many scenes together. I would have liked more because I enjoyed working with him so much. And there hasn’t been an opportunity like that until now.”
Admitting that sharing scenes with two Hollywood legends was a saddening moment, the reunion of the duo did not go unnoticed by their other co-stars.

“We’re just trying to find our feet. It’s so surreal working with Michelle and Kurt,” Elle Chapman said. “I mean, they’re both icons, but they’re both such down-to-earth and wonderful people; they’re so welcoming. But it’s hard to get used to it.”

“I’m still not used to it. They’re the best. I mean, they’re the best of the best,” Adams said. “They’re icons, yes, as you say, but they’re also completely uninterested in you approaching them with that attitude. They’re so dedicated to their craft. They love acting, they love the acting community.”
“They want to run the lines, and that’s a special situation,” Amiah Miller added.
Actors said watching Pfeiffer and Russell work offered a master class in acting.

“What unites them is just a sense of comfort,” Adams explained. “There’s no pressure at all. There’s no such thing as ‘I have to do this… I don’t do a lot of big acting’. I’m in the present; I’m in the moment. I’m reacting to the people around me. And it’s amazing how simple they make it look, like any true craftsman.”
