When you think of an actress preparing for a lead role in a highly popular video game adaptation, you might assume she follows a rigorous workout plan. Surprisingly, this isn’t the case for Ella Purnell, the 29-year-old star of Prime Video’s *Fallout*, now in its second season.
In a conversation with *Women’s Health*, Ella shared, “I’ve never had to do a workout routine for a role before. I feel very lucky—I know a lot of people have faced a lot of pressure to do that.”
That said, Ella admits she has faced intense workouts in her past. “I did try reformer Pilates once, and let me tell you, it was no joke. I will not be doing that again.”
Despite the absence of a formal workout regimen for her roles, Ella emphasizes the importance of regular movement in her daily routine. She points out, “We need four things: eight hours of sleep, plenty of water, consistent exercise, and three healthy meals each day. It’s tough to manage all of these.”
When Ella feels low on energy, she checks in with herself to determine which of these areas needs attention. “It’s about going back to basics,” she notes.
