Like many people in 2020, Evans has come to realize he can “go a very long time without human interaction,” he jokes.

The self-described “homebody,” 39, nevertheless had a busy schedule: He launched a bipartisan political engagement website, A Starting Point, and joined Instagram (where he quickly racked up more than 7 million followers). These days, the star is feeling hopeful about what lies ahead. “I try not to think too far into the future, because for me it can turn into worry, but I’d like a wife and kids,” he admits. “I like the idea of a very simple existence with simple pleasures.”

We kind of live behind closed doors like cavemen.”

Paul Mescal

In August, the Colombian singer-songwriter, 26, surprised fans with Papi Juancho, his fifth studio album, while the music video for his runaway hit “Hawái” has racked up more than 420 million views on YouTube. To stay zen in 2020, “I built a meditation room in my apartment in Miami,” says Maluma, who stars in the upcoming rom-com Marry Me. “It’s a way to block out the noise in your mind.”

Pedro Pascal

The Mandalorian actor, who is cloaked by a face shield and has TV’s cutest costar (Baby Yoda!), has gotten by lately with a little help from his friends. “What would have been a text turns into a three-hour conversation,” says Pascal, 45, of the way his relationships have deepened since the pandemic began. “I felt grateful all of these friendships were there.”

The comedian and recent star of Fargo, 55, used his time at home to learn to swim, and as a result, “my body’s in better shape than it’s ever been,” says Rock, who also cut sugar from his diet.

The former football running back turned actor, 36, got his action-hero fix this year starring in the thriller Tenet.

I’d also like to have a Bojangles food truck built into my backyard.”

Brad Pitt

The actor, 56, said he was “gobsmacked” when he won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar this year for his supporting role as stuntman Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time. in Hollywood. “I got friends, I got lovely kids, I like my coffee, I like my dogs,” said the actor. “I’ve got no complaints.”

Manny Jacinto

He played a lovable dummy of a character on NBC’s hit series The Good Place. Off-screen he has admitted, “I get a lot of comments on my cheekbones.” Next up? The Philippines native, 33, joins Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick.

Steve Kornacki

Never before have khakis and a striped tie gotten so many hot under the (Oxford) collar.
