Candace Cameron Bure reveals how she plans to get into the ‘best shape of my life' at 50

New York Post26-05-2025
Candace Cameron Bure, who recently turned 49, plans to be in the 'best shape of my life' when she enters her 50s next year.
'That's what I'm working towards,' the Great American Family star told Fox News Digital. 'I've been filming a lot of movies, so I don't feel like I'm at my top right now because my fitness has to take a back seat while I'm filming movies, but I turned 49 this year and I have really big goals for myself just keeping active and healthy, but going into 50, I wanna be in best shape that I can possibly be in.'

Bure said she's been busy filming her Christmas movies for the network. She just wrapped a time-travel Christmas movie called 'Timeless Tidings of Joy,' and is heading into production for another one next week. She also stars in the new 'Ainsley McGregor Mysteries' series.
'So, my fitness game, once I finish this movie, at least in the gym, is gonna kick it up a notch,' she explained. 'But honestly, I feel really great.'
Bure said she's been working on her fitness since she was in her early 30s, 'and I'm in a groove, and I just want to approach life and aging as someone with grace, but also enthusiasm.'
'And leaning into all the things that I can do as I get older and preparing my body so that I can continue to do those things as I older,' the actress told Fox News Digital. 'Not so much from a vanity point of view, but like, you know, I wanna be able to open the peanut butter jar when I'm 80, and I need grip strength for that. But all that comes from using your muscles and lifting weights and just basic skills.'

She joked that she's not trying to age fast, 'but it's the preparation of just being in the best shape that I can be as I get older.'

As she's gotten older, Bure said her reasons for staying in shape have become less about 'vanity,' and more about wanting to be healthy for her family.
She asks herself: 'Why is fitness so important to me? Is it because I'm trying to fit into a certain size or look a certain way? Or is it because I wanna be able to go on walks with my husband or my kids or my grandchildren and take hikes and be healthy and not have trouble getting out of a seat as I get older? And so that's what I've learned about it, that I'm so appreciative that my body can move, and I can do all the things that I can.'

She continued, 'I have so much more of a gratitude mindset for my body instead of nitpicking it like I have for many, many years.'
4 Bure said her fitness has had to take a back seat recently because she has been busy shooting movies.

The 'Full House' alum noted that fitness doesn't always have to be in the gym.
'I do enjoy weightlifting, but it's like, 'Go out and do the things that are fun that get your body moving.' That's what fitness should be about: is body movement. So, go ride a bicycle, do handstands, do cartwheels, go skateboarding, go roller skating.'

She advised doing what you loved 'when you were young, as a kid, and what made you happy. Did you love riding your bike? Then go ride a bike. Like, you don't have to get on the stationary one. Go actually ride a bike.'
Her family loves a 'good game of pickleball. It's real competitive in the Bure house.'
4 Bure said her fitness trick is to do fun activities that get herself moving.

Aside from her many Christmas movies, Bure is also excited about her new mystery series on Great American Pure Flix.
'I love the genre so much. The cozy mysteries are so much fun,' Bure said.
'So, of course, I had a very successful franchise, the 'Aurora Teagarden Mysteries,' and I wanted to create another franchise of movies and one that felt fresh and new and new characters, new relationships,' she said of her new 'Ainsley McGregor Mysteries,' which are about a criminologist-turned-crafter.
The first, 'Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Winemaker,' came out last year.

'I'm so happy that the first one was really well-received, and we've got the newest Ainsley McGregor case, 'A Case for the Yarn Maker,' which is, you know, it's just another mystery,' she said.
The mysteries are 'fun' and 'safe' to watch with the family, Bure added. 'Nothing gory, nothing bloody, but it's like this great whodunit. And the 'Ainsley McGregors,' as we continue to make these movies, they're just getting elevated more and more with each one, and the dialogue is sharper, the dialogue is, you know, quick-witted, they're funny, but they're smart.'
'A Case for the Winemaker' brings back the main characters from the first film, which centers on McGregor's craft shop Bless Your Arts, where she interacts with other artists and customers in the town.
'You'll be familiar with them now, but you're going to learn a little more about each of them in each installment, each movie,' she explained. 'And in this one, you're going to learn a little bit more about Mrs. Whedon. And we kind of focus the story on her and her granddaughter because this mystery has a lot of ties to who she is.'

She said the writer, Robin Dunne, also plays her brother, Sheriff Ryan McGregor, in the series.

The series is directed by Martin Wood, 'who I've worked with for ages and directed many of the 'Aurora Teagardens' back in the day,' said Bure. 'And so we're excited. This is kind of a little dream team with the three of us producing these movies, writing them and working on them.'
'Stay glued,' she added when asked what viewers should expect from the second installment.

'Listen to the clues, listen to the dialogue because every little word, it's a little hint as to who could have done it. But my hope is that you don't figure it out in the first 10 minutes of the movie because you've got 90 more to go, and I hope you don't figure it until the very end,' she said, adding that there are always a few red herrings.
Bure also co-stars with her daughter, Natasha Bure, in the holiday film 'Timeless Tidings of Joy,' and shared some industry advice.
'What's most important for me as her mom and also someone that's been in this entertainment industry for 40 years is that, you know, I have wisdom that I'm happy and want to share with from all aspects of it,' she said. 'So, I do that often, and she's 26 years old. So she's at a place in her life where she very much respects it and asks me those questions. It's not like having a teenager when your kids think, like, you're dumb and you don't know anything. Like, we're past all of that. And so I have such a great relationship with all of my kids and I feel really blessed and honored that she comes to me and asks questions and wants advice, but she's so talented and doing such a great job, but as long as she knows I'm here, and her dad, we're here and we're for her, that's the most important thing for me.'
The second installment of 'Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A Case for the Winemaker' is now streaming on Great American Pure Flix.

Tom Cruise's former girlfriend admits what she really thinks of him four decades after their romance

Rebecca De Mornay has nothing but love for her "Risky Business" co-star and ex, Tom Cruise. The actress met Cruise on the set of their breakout film in 1982. They dated for nearly three years after the teen comedy was released in 1983. "I'm really proud of him," the 65-year-old recently told Page Six about her former flame. De Mornay described the 63-year-old as a "major chord" while she labeled herself "a minor chord." She said that Cruise had always been ambitious and eager to make his dreams a reality. "He's like, 'I am "Top Gun,"' and that's what America really wanted, and so he's fulfilled it," De Mornay gushed. "He is a brilliant, brilliant interpreter of what the zeitgeist is. I'm really, really proud of knowing him from when we were in the suburbs of Chicago [filming 'Risky Business'], and knowing what he wanted and where it is now." She added, "We started this together and look what he did with it." Fox News Digital reached out to Cruise for comment. One of De Mornay's latest appearances was in the thriller "Saint Claire," opposite Bella Thorne and Ryan Phillippe. It tells the tale of "an avenging serial killer [Thorne] who murders misbehaving men," Page Six reported. "It's very rare that I read scripts about a female serial killer who's obsessed with Joan of Arc, which I thought was just brilliant," De Mornay shared. In "Risky Business," Cruise plays Joel Goodsen, a high school student who stays home alone while his parents are on vacation. He goes on to meet a prostitute named Lana [De Mornay]. For the role, Cruise earned his first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Cruise went on to make his mark in blockbusters like "Top Gun" and the "Mission: Impossible" film franchise. De Mornay was just 24 years old when "Risky Business" skyrocketed her to fame. "It was personally jarring and thrilling and discombobulating to have become famous so quickly," she told TheWrap back in 2023. "Tom and I were together when the movie came out, and we had photographers jumping out of bushes, the pre-paparazzi days." "I was a more complicated, mysterious presence, innately, than Tom," she reflected at the time. "His presence is more like, I would say, a major chord, [thinking] in music terms, and I'm more of a minor chord… America really, really loves the major chords." After playing Lana, De Mornay was labeled a sex symbol. To avoid being typecast, she took on the grittier role of a railway worker for 1985's "Runaway Train." WATCH: TOM CRUISE CREDITED FOR TEACHER-TURNED-ACTOR'S JOB CHANGE "You reach people on many levels," she explained to the outlet about being a sex symbol. "You can reach people when they're sexually attracted to you. It doesn't have to be that it's all about sex, but when you touch someone on that level, it brings them in to perhaps other things about you." "I am an actress, and I could be a sex symbol, but I am an actress, first and foremost," she added. Over the years, De Mornay stepped away from glamorous roles and was selective about which projects to take on. As both an actress and mom to two daughters, she wanted to make sure her children weren't separated from their father. "I'm not quite sure how some of these very famous actresses with children, how they do it. Maybe they're good at multitasking? I'm not," she admitted to the outlet. "… [But] it's always been important to me to choose roles where there [is] some model of strength to women, regardless of what they do or how they do it," she added.

Billionaire David Geffen Sued By Estranged Husband

David Geffen, the billionaire record executive and co-founder of DreamWorks Pictures, filed for divorce in April from estranged husband Donovan Michaels, who has now sued Geffen for breach of an oral contract between the two, accusing him of reneging on promised financial support and coercing him with drugs and alcohol. David Geffen previously filed for divorce from Donovan Michaels. (Photo by Stephane Cardinale - ... More Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images) Corbis via Getty Images Michaels, 32, sued Geffen, 82, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleging Geffen breached an oral contract the two had made under which 'Geffen would support Michaels financially for life' if he acted as Geffen's life partner, caretaker and travel companion. After Geffen filed for divorce from Michaels in April, Michaels alleges in the new lawsuit Geffen breached their contract by cutting off financial support and demanding he vacate Geffen's New York home, which effectively left him homeless. In the lawsuit, Michaels alleges Geffen exploited him as a 'vulnerable, marginalized young gay Black man,' stating Geffen was a 'wealthy, powerful white gay billionaire who believed himself untouchable.' Michaels claims Geffen demanded he get 'painful laser treatments and dental treatments' and subjected him to verbal 'insults and put-downs,' while also demanding Michaels provide 'sexual access at will, including acts Michaels found degrading.' Michaels alleges Geffen filed for divorce after Michaels began seeking treatment for addiction and told the billionaire he wanted to develop 'an independent identity that he could be proud of, not one solely tied to Geffen and his singular approval.' Forbes reached out to lawyers representing both Geffen and Michaels for comment, though Geffen's lawyer Patty Glaser called the lawsuit is 'pathetic' and 'false,' stating there 'was no contract — express, written, oral, or implied — that has ever existed,' according to the The Los Angeles Times. Court documents indicate the couple did not sign a prenup upon getting married in 2023. San Francisco-based family law attorney Samantha Bley DeJean told the New York Times Michaels would be entitled to half of what Geffen earned through his 'time, skill and effort' during their marriage, but Michaels would not be entitled to income Geffens earned passively, like residuals or dividends from his film or music ventures. Geffen's divorce filing says he intends to pay spousal support, the Times reported, and DeJean told the Times that Geffen is so wealthy 'any spousal support that he'd be ordered to pay probably will not make a dent for him.' Forbes Valuation Geffen is worth an estimated $8.8 billion as of Wednesday, according to Forbes estimates. Geffen amassed a significant fortune as a successful music record executive and film producer, co-founding Asylum Records in 1971 and Geffen Records in 1980. Musicians who have released albums under his labels have included Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, John Lennon, the Eagles and Nirvana. Geffen founded the Geffen Film Company in 1982, under which he produced films including 'Risky Business' (1983), 'Little Shop of Horrors' (1986) and 'Beetlejuice' (1988), and he co-founded DreamWorks Pictures with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg in 1994. Geffen came out as gay in 1992, but was previously known for his relationship with Cher in the 1970s. Further Reading Without a Prenup, David Geffen's Divorce Could Get Interesting (New York Times)
