Actress Elizabeth Banks, who stars in Man on the Ledge, and upcoming movies Hunger Games, and What to Expect When You’re Expecting, graces the March cover of Women’s Health, out on newsstands Tuesday, February 7th.

Banks spilled her secrets on filming her upcoming movies, the best career advice she ever received and how she stays healthy (and her splurges) to keep her healthy figure.

She also celebrating her 38th birthday on February 10th.

Highlights:

On the traits that make her popular with men…

“I can hang with the dudes because I love beef and baseball and driving fast and flirting. I understand where men are coming from and I’m interested in typically male endeavors. But I can also wear the short skirt and cheerlead.”

 Elizabeth on what she calls “awesome”…

“Prison rodeos. Google this shit! I’m dying to go!”

  On What makes her laugh…

“You’ll never see me in a T-shirt that has the body of a skinny lady wearing a bikini. But that fact that it exists really tickles me. And I think it’s hilarious when a fat lady wears it. Fat lady wearing it, hilarious. Guy in it, even funnier.”
