Milla Jovovich is a badass.

And she has so many roles to prove it.

We’re talking The Fifth Element, the Resident Evil movies, The Fourth Kind, and even soon to be Hellboy and Monster Hunter.

Oh, and add to the list that she’s not only a badass but also a total babe.

I used one of her modeling pictures for the picture to the right because I’m sure you’ve all seen her in her roles (which we’ll see more of below), but she has her fair share of modeling for her incredible physique as well.

Which is exactly what we’ll be trying to replicate.

Milla Jovovich Stats:

Height: 5’9

Weight: (approximate) 130 lbs

Age: 43 years old

Milla Jovovich is actually pretty damn tall.

Which is pretty weird because she has identical stats to Gwyneth Paltrow (which was our last female celeb).

Normally the average height we see for women is around 5’4-5’6 with ladies such as Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie, Olivia Munn, Alicia Vikander, Sophia Bush, Tatiana Maslany, Evangeline Lilly, and a ton of others.

But then there is also that taller range, and among the tallest (even taller than the 5’7-5’8), are ladies like Gwendoline Christie, Gal Gadot, and a few others – with Phoebe Tonkin, Gabrielle Union, Brie Larson, Nina Dobrev, Daisy Ridley, and so many more coming in around that 5’7-5’8 range.

And, let’s not forget the shorter ladies of SHJ like Ariana Grande, Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Emilia Clarke, Lucy Hale, Julianne Hough and a good handful of others.

But, either way, don’t worry.

I write these routines for anyone and everyone.

Milla Jovovich Diet and Nutrition

It may seem like Milla Jovovich has always had an amazingly slim physique, but she has yo-yo-ed a bit just like the rest of us.

Here’s a snippet from an interview she did about her pregnancy weight gain:

“Everything I ate suddenly made me gain loads of weight,” she said about her first pregnancy.

“I was taking down six eggs, with bacon and toast in one sitting. And that was just breakfast! It was like I was eating like the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk,” she added in an interview.

The second time around, she vowed to do things differently. But she suffered so much from morning sickness and was bed-ridden for the first two tri-mesters. When she recovered she tried to make up for it.

“Of course I gained a lot of weight and I found myself at the 30lb maximum around New Years and I still had three more months to go before the baby would be born,” she told mommy site Romy and the Bunnies.

From there she switched it up and found a sustainable way to drop the weight.

She even shares a typical day of eating:

• Breakfast: Kashi GoLean cereal with nonfat milk and tea
• Snack: 1 slice fat-free cheese, 1-2 apples and water
• Lunch: Thai chicken lettuce wraps (with a 2.5 oz. skinless breast), Food for Life’s no-flour tortilla, and water
• Snack: Turkey jerky, steamed veggies and water
• Dinner: Steamed salmon, whole grain pilaf, green tea or water

During her pregnancy she also tried to be more healthy than normal, sharing meals such as:

“a 3 berry smoothie, with spinach, kale and nonfat Greek yogurt” which she accompanies with “a cup of steel cut oats with two teaspoons of agave syrup for sweetness”.

But, she’s not ALWAYS healthy.  She knows it’s okay to cheat sometimes.

We have seen her posting some fun cheat meals to her Instagram, even including a pigs feet dish made by her co-star  “Actor JG”.

We see a lot of celebs opt for a sustainable approach like this.

That’s why our Academy Nutrition Classes (Monks, Minimalists, SuperHumans, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Greek Gods, Samurais) revolve around helping you find the specific diet that is right FOR YOU.

We’ve also seen a lot of celebs opt for specific restrictions. 

For example: Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.

And, that’s just to name a few celebs from each, by the way.

You can check out our Nutrition Pillars for more information and articles on all of the above and more.

Milla Jovovich Workout Routine Research

When it comes to Milla Jovovich’s training, we have a lot of fun sources.

She’s done a lot of interviews, played a ton of fun roles, and even shares a lot of information on her own.

Jovovich has a personal blog that she shares a great deal of information that I will start by sharing.

At her site, MillaJ.com, she also shares a section of Workout Videos. There are tons.

If you’re interested in training exactly like her post pregnancy (she worked her butt off to get her amazing physique back), then that is a great place to be.

We also have a ton of workout tips from Jovovich to use:

Training tip #1: High intensity cardio intervals three times a week coupled with at least two sessions of low intensity long duration cardio for recovery (60 minutes or more). James White is particularly partial to the rower for HIIT and accompanied Milla to long hikes over the weekend for recovery cardio.

Training tip #2: There is no need to lift extremely heavy weights, but resistance training with moderate loads is a time tested way to alter the shape and tone of the entire body without the fear of adding any unwanted bulk.

Training tip #3: Limit bread and sugars in your diet as much as you can. You should feel a mild discomfort yet ought to be able to keep your energy levels up throughout the day. Stay particularly wary of hidden, empty calories in dressings and sauces. Get used to the natural taste of vegetables and start cooking food in slow cookers as often as possible.

Which continues with:

Milla suffers from one major vice of smoking. However, she has made yoga and meditation a daily part of her routine and is determined to cut back on this one bad habit that she developed in her teens.

So don’t expect to see heavy weights, but do expect to see cardio, yoga, meditation and resistance training!
