Chris' wife, Elsa Pataky, revealed in May that a 'strict' intermittent-fasting diet was the secret behind Leonie's age-defying appearance.
'Intermittent fasting' refers to an eating pattern that cycles between periods of voluntary fasting and eating, and is commonly used as a weight-loss strategy.
Speaking to Body + Soul, the Spanish actress explained: 'The first person we knew who started [intermittent fasting] really strict was Chris' mum, actually.'
'She just looks amazing! She's 60...and every year looks even better,' she added.
Elsa explained that Leonie had started with one day of fasting per week, before gradually building up the frequency and length of her fasting periods.
