Blanca Blanco has been at the Cannes Film Festival in France this week where she hit the premiere of the Tom Cruise movie Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
The Washington native with a 26-inch waist also hit the beach in a new blue plaid string bikini that made the most of her slender figure.
The Finding Nicole actress also talked with DailyMail.com about how she keeps her curves even though she is constantly on airplanes and film sets.
Turns out she does a 20 minute exercise every day that helps keep her core strong and her waistline small.
‘I do this exercise without fail every day because it keeps my tummy flat,’ Blanca told DailyMail.com.
‘I usually do it as soon as I wake up to get it out of the way, that way it does not burden me. If I do first thing, it’s off my check list.’

Blanca lays on the floor and does 100 mini crunches. Then she does a plank position for five minutes and 50 lunges.
‘It’s so easy and I change it up, sometimes I do the plank first because it’s easier, then I go into the lunges and leave the crunches for last because they are painful, I will be honest,’ she said.
‘I do this to get a strong core and because I love having mini abs, it makes me feel good when I am in a bikini.’
Blanco is in a new film: Finding Nicole was released on Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime on May 6.
The beauty plays Katarina Lopez. Her costars are Sean Whalen and Richard Tyson.
Based on the true-life story of Nicole Beverly as seen on Inside Evil with Chris Cuomo, Til Death Do Us Part, and the top-selling book with the same title. Nicole and her children survive and overcome domestic violence.
In February Blanca told DailyMail.com about her diet that involves less carbs, more protein, with meals ending by 5 pm.
Turns out she eats carbs only once a week so that’s a no to pizza, pasta and bagels six days a week.

‘That shocks the body,’ said the cover girl.
‘My body is not used to having a ton of carbs but it is hard to completely cut them out. So if I have carbs once a week my body does not get used to them and can process fast. If you have carbs every day, your body doesn’t process them as well.’
This comes after Blanca told DailyMail.com that she would never use the diabetes drug Ozempic for weight loss as she would rather ‘sweat it out at the gym’ instead of rely on the drug.
‘I know Ozempic does wonders for people suffering from Diabetes, it is like a miracle drug for some, but I would not use it for weight loss,’ said Blanca.
‘I don’t judge people who do that, I know it’s incredibly challenging to lose weight. It’s just not for me because I feel I can diet and exercise to stay at the weight I want.

‘But I also have to admit that I am lucky, my metabolism is pretty fast, so I have it easier than a lot of people. Everyone has to do what is right for them and just be healthy first and foremost.’
Staying in shape is important to the actress as she tells DailyMail.com she has learned a new way to work out.
She does strength training instead of intense cardio – and she does it at home as well as the gym.
‘As we get older, we lose muscle mass; that’s called sarcopenia. So it is important to keep muscle mass up,’ she told DailyMail.com.

Sarcopenia is a condition that causes a progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and quality in older adults.
‘When you maintain muscle mass then you not only look better but you move better and your risk for injury is lower.’
She added: ‘So I have been focusing on mobility, strength, and stability. It is so easy to do, I keep free weights at home and at the gym I use the machines. It is a must for me now.’
She also lost 10lbs earlier this year by giving up meat and is instead eating fish and chicken.
‘I think it is has been really good for my waistline because my dresses are all loose now!’ she told DailyMail.com. ‘And I don’t miss the steaks which can be too heavy sometimes.’
