Dry Celebs
They say it’s always easier when you have a buddy join you to start your workout resolution, go on that diet or hit your 10,000 steps a day. In honor of Dry January, think of these celebs as your teetotaling buddies — they either are giving up booze for the month or are celebrating some major sobriety milestones. Some of these celebs even attribute not drinking to their six-pack abs, glowing skin and fountain-of-youth appearance. So we’ll have what they’re having, at least for the month of January.
Blake Lively
Unlike her alter ego Serena van der Woodsen, the real life Gossip Girl lays off the booze, and lays off the drugs. It’s never been her thing, and we really like her for it.
We always pictured J Lo waking up to Cristal every morning, but it’s certainly not so. Ms. Lopez has been quoted as saying alcohol ruins your skin, which clearly, hers is flawless so she is onto something.
Rob Lowe
We are aging ourselves, but we remember when Rob Lowe was a Hollywood bad boy. Fast forward several decades, a long-time marriage, grown up kids and a healthy regime including surfing, Rob is all about the clean lifestyle, which includes no alcohol.
Anthony Hopkins
One of the most talented actors in Hollywood, is always over 40 years sober. Now that’s a milestone to celebrate every day.
Natalie Portman
Harvard-educated Natalie Portman, shows she is more than book smarts. With an Oscar in hand and preternaturally youth, she still looks like the 12 year old who premiered in Leon, the Professional as a child assassin. We’re betting the no-booze has been a big part of her timelessness.
Brad Pitt & Bradley Cooper
It must be something about the Brads. These best buds share more in common than their award-winning performances. Both of them have embraced a clean living lifestyle, and Brad even attributes his sobriety to Bradley. Now that’s friendship.
