1. Meghan Markle vowed to make more magic
When: on her lifestyle blog in 2016
"For this new year, the only thing I aim to do is to approach life playfully,” Meghan Markle explained. “To laugh and enjoy, to keep my standards high but my level of self-acceptance higher. My New Year’s resolution is to leave room for magic. To make my plans, and be okay if they sometimes break. To set my goals, but to be open to change.”
2. Rachel Bilson vowed to keep her friend sweet
When: to US Weekly in 2019
Rachel Bilson and screenwriter Josh Schwarz first worked together when he created the iconic noughties series The O.C., but the pair built a lasting bond. That is... until Bilson struggled to keep up with her book list: “My New Year’s resolution is to finish Looking For Alaska so Josh Schwartz doesn’t kill me." Luckily, it seems she kept her promise to read the book that inspired Schwarz's TV adaptation, as she revealed in an interview with Teen Vogue that she'd ticked it off her summer reading. Phew!
3. Ellie Kemper vowed to stop her night sweats
When: to US Weekly in 2019
“My New Year’s resolution is going to be not to eat so much sugar before bed, because I’m old now and my body can’t process it the same way. Then I wake up in the night in sweats, like I’m sweating … stop eating so much sugar before bed.” Wise words from The Office star!
4. Adam Devine vowed to look more like Zac Efron
When: to US Weekly in 2019
“I feel my New Year’s resolution is always the same, and it’s to have a jawline like Brad Pitt. Pretty successful, almost every year, so now, I’m going to have a droopier jawline [like] Zac Efron.” Here's hoping Efron doesn't challenge the Pitch Perfect star to a riff-off after hearing that subtle shade.
