You've seen her whip around in sports cars in the Fast & Furious movies, but did you know Jordana Brewster didn't know how to drive before she got the role as Mia back in 2009? We caught up with the actress, who has also appeared in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story and Secrets and Lies, to learn more about how she stays so fit for action role after action role—including her latest as Maureen Cahill in the action-comedy show Lethal Weapon and the upcoming addition to the Fast & Furious franchise, Furious 7. To put it simply, she got it from her mama. Other than that, Brewster has been preparing since she was 15.
Her mom, former model Maria João, actually used to sneak her into Equinox when she as. "She would work out every single day, and she would just taught me the importance of to work out every day," Brewster tells Allure. Her mother even taught her some skin-loving habits like eating well and getting enough sleep. (We couldn't agree more.) Oh, and did we mention her mom was on the cover of one of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit editions in the '70s?
