Selling Sunset's Jason Oppenheim doesn't just play a high-end realtor on TV. Between running one of Los Angeles' top-rated real estate brokerages and producing and starring in one of Netflixs top-rated reality serieswhile also filming a spinoffalongside his twin brother, life is pretty busy. That means some things have fallen by the wayside, like cooking. But hitting the gym and hitting the town? Those are non-negotiable.
With Season 5 of Selling Sunset now streaming on Netflix (and the show officially renewed for seasons 6 and 7), GQ spoke with the self-proclaimed strongest Oppenheim twin to discuss how he manages to squeeze in a workouts, the quality of his Postmates game, and why there's always room for ice cream.
GQ: How does a typical day begin?
Jason Oppenheim: The first thing is I feed my dogs and then I get myself a coffee. I dont do much before my coffee. Then I catch up on phone calls and emails. I try and get out of the house and into the office by 10. Im in the office usually most of the dayrunning the meetings or listing appointments. I take about an hour for lunch with my staff. Every day is different but its a mix of meeting with clients, listing appointments, showings, and then Im on my computer a lot working out of the office.
I try and hit the gym around five. Equinox is about 100 feet from my office, so every day I just walk right over and get a quick workout in and come back to the office. I try to wrap up around 6, go home and Ill usually work from home on and off throughout the night. Ill watch some TV and Ill order Postmates pretty much every night. Ill say five nights out of the week, Ill order from Postmates. The other two nights, Ill go out. Unfortunately, I dont cook.
What are some of your go-tos on Postmates?
I love Din Tai Fung, which is a Chinese dumpling restaurantits one of my favorites. Theres another restaurant here called Pace and they have great pastas and pizzas and I order from them a lot. I order Sugarfish a lot when I want sushiand I order Magnum ice cream all the time.
You dont worry about the ice cream melting by the time it arrives to you?
It usually comes perfectly because by the time it gets to my house, you can just stick the spoon in it and its not too hard. I like it better when it softens up a little bit. I get ice cream about three to four nights a week. I only eat twice a day, so it allows me to eat ice cream like that.
And youre able to sustain your energy throughout the day?
I dont do breakfast. Ill just have a coffee in the morning and then lunch and dinner. Im not really hungry in the morning. Ill usually eat around noon for my first meal and then Ill have dinner around seven maybe, and then Ill have ice cream after that.
It sounds like you can eat whatever you want.
Im not super conscious, to be honest. I kind of eat whatever I want because Im only eating twice a day. Today, I had a chicken panini sandwich, but Ill have burgers, pasta, and pizza. I cant say that Im super healthy. For me, its more about eating an appropriate amount of calories. I dont stuff myself, but I pretty much eat whatever I want.
