After particularly being blue in Avatar, Zoe Saldana goes green for her latest role in Guardians of the Galaxy. While the James Cameron film did all her character’s effects in post-production, Guardians required many long days in the makeup chair. And as alien bounty hunter Gamora, her character was hard to shake during off-hours. “I would go home and soak myself in a tub of hot water and then all this green would just come out from my insides — I have no thought, like my pores were green, the pillow was green, my dog was green, the apartment that we were renting was green,” she told Live with Kelly and Michael this week.

With at least five more sci-fi sequels films on deck, we plotting we’d go through the distress of giving Zoe a sneak peek at what she’d look like in every shade of the rainbow — should the directors choose to go a different route. Delight in!

But how exactly does Zoe stay so sexy? Water, a good skin regimen, and hamburgers.
