Ali Larter, 49, shows off her jaw-dropping figure in tiny red string bikini
Ali Larter stunned in a new bikini-clad selfie shared to Instagram on Monday. The 49-year-old Landman actress — who was spotted out with Freddie Prinze Jr. earlier this month — bared her washboard abs in a stringy red two-piece, laying out her health routine. Larter portrays Angela Norris, the sex-crazed ex-wife of Billy Bob Thornton's Tommy Norris, in the Paramount+ show. Engaging her audience of 907,000 followers, the blonde beauty wrote, 'I had to shoot a bikini scene for my show last week. Playing a character that is so comfortable in her body drives me.' She then detailed 'how I prep and what I eat for a day on set.' Engaging her audience of 907,000 followers, the blonde beauty wrote, 'I had to shoot a bikini scene for my show last week. Playing a character that is so comfortable in her body drives me' Ali revealed she's in bed by 11pm 'and I take magnesium and gaba, wake at 5:30am. Celery juice and coffee and hit the gym by 6'; pictured June 8 Ali revealed she's in bed by 11pm 'and I take magnesium and gaba, wake at 5:30am. Celery juice and coffee and hit the gym by 6.' For her workouts, she said, 'I do a 30 minute intervals run and 10 minutes of core.' Next, she wrote, 'Shower, dunk my face in ice water, slather with oil cause of my spray tan.' And then she's off to film her hit series, which was renewed for a second season in March, with production kicking off in April. Larter continued, 'Leave for work at 7am. Go through the works and blend out my tan. Another coffee, lemon water, eggs and Turkey bacon.' She mentioned the particular piece of jewelry that's essential to her television character — '[I] put on Angela's diamond cross which is my suit of armor for this woman.' Her swimsuit photo was snapped in her trailer, and the special pendant was dutifully draped around her neck, falling at the center of her tan cleavage. Finally, the star noted, '10 minutes of deep breathing to break down the BS I tell myself and redirect my energy to a calm, confident, and creative state while I look over my material. And then go walk the walk!' She urged her social media followers to 'let me know how you build yourself up to look and feel your best.' In character as Angela, Ali often films scantily clad in lingerie or a bathing suit, and has even gone topless for a sex scene on the hit program. In an interview with Good Morning America last year the actress talked about her role in the West Texas oil boom series. 'I get to work with an incredible cast and the entire crew is so gifted and talented that I just feel like I'm playing at the top of the game and so that's really exciting,' she gushed. 'And now to see the fans really love these characters and love the story that's unfolding is very exciting, because you never know when you're making something if it's gonna connect with an audience and this show obviously has,' she added. She also praised the show's creator Taylor Sheridan: 'I just think he's an incredible storyteller and he loves to write these dynamic women and that's very very fun to play.'
