Actress Elizabeth Hurley pines to 'fall in love with someone wonderful'

Even though she has found lasting success as an actress and swimwear designer, Elizabeth Hurley revealed in an interview with Red magazine that, 'It would be fantastic to fall in love with someone wonderful.' Hurely admits to having great relationships with all of her exes, her most famous being actor Hugh Grant, but their breakups made her realize what she really wants in a partner.

Elizabeth Hurley is spilling her secrets on how she stays in such incredible shape at age 53.

“I think we have to stay active, whether it’s formal exercise or just moving around a lot,” the British model recently told Closer Weekly. ‘I think we have to watch what we eat. We all know that. Everybody tells us that, but we have to watch what we eat.”

Hurley revealed that while she’s not a fan of fad diets, the star loves to pile on the vegetables, which she said has made an incredible difference over the years.

“I eat meat and fish, but I also eat a lot of vegetables, and I’ve been really trying in the last year that 50 percent of the foods I eat are vegetables,” she told the outlet. “It’s not easy but I’m trying — and I think it really makes a difference actually.”

This isn’t the first time the British bombshell has spoken out about how she manages her incredible physique. Back in 2017, Hurley told The Cut that she tries to break a sweat as much as possible by pursuing fitness routines she can actually stick to.

“I don’t do any regulated exercise, but I’m very active,” she told the outlet at the time. “On the weekends, I go for long hikes with my dogs. I try and stretch every day. I do the occasional yoga or Pilates class, but mostly it’s just self-exercise at home. I might do some stomach exercises or some bottom or arm exercises, but because I trained for a dancer when I was young, I sort of know all the exercises. I find it very hard for my schedule to regularly go anywhere else. It works very well for me.”

Hurley also insisted it’s just as important to take care of your skin as it is to maintain a healthy diet and a regular workout routine to both look and feel good.

“People often ask me how you can look good as you age, and for me, it’s a couple of things,” the mom of one explained. “You need to look after your skin, that’s important. I feel very blessed because I’ve worked with the Estee Lauder companies for 22 years, so I have great products. You also have to look after your health. You can’t look good if you’re not healthy, and diet plays a big part. You can’t smoke and have too much alcohol. We all get hard knocks in life, but it’s important to stay positive and stay engaged, and not be angry. Anger doesn’t seem to go hand in hand with wellness.”

As for Hurley’s approach to nutrition, the cover girl also stressed the importance of savoring clean, fresh foods that are found locally.

“I like simple, natural, easy good,” said Hurley to the outlet. “I don’t really like food with a lot of chemicals or additives. When I’m at home in the country, I always try and eat food that’s grown locally. That goes for meats and vegetables. Not only do I like things grown in England, I like things grown in Hertfordshire, which is the part of England that I live in. If I can grow it myself, I’m even happier. All through summer we eat fruit and vegetables from my own garden. I used to have a small organic farm, and all the meat my son ate was from the farm. Obviously, that’s not possible for most people, but supporting local farmers wherever you live is a good thing.”

Hurley, who is frequently spotted on social media rocking a skimpy swimsuit, launched a London-based swimwear line named Elizabeth Hurley Beach in 2005 which she happily models for fans.

“I decided to venture into beachwear not only because I’ve always been obsessed with vacation clothes, but also because it’s an area where women, regardless of shape or size, can either look amazing or really get it wrong. I wanted to develop resort collections, which make women feel fabulous at any age,” she announced on the company’s site.

She previously told Closer Weekly that being a mom inspired her to launch the brand. She previously took a break from Hollywood to focus on motherhood but found herself wanting to do something new professionally.

“It allowed me to be more flexible with my time and work when Damian was at school,” she said. “I love my life. I love change and I love new experiences.”
