Paul Rudd

One of the most adorable actors on the block, Paul Rudd caught our attention after his performance in the smash hit movie, Clueless . For his Marvel superhero role in Ant ManPaul needed to get lean and fit. Paul said he never trained harder than he did for the role. He was indulged in heavy gymnastics exercises that also required a heavy change in his diet. He had to give up alcohol and high-carbohydrate foods. He admitted that giving up alcohol was particularly hard given that he has a pub in his basement! His training included a lot of flips and rolls. He said his routine was almost impossible to endure, but his role in the film motivated him. The actors really need to keep playing with their bodies depending on the role they’re playing. For This Is 40 , Paul needed to gain weight so it was easy for him to keep boozing around cupcakes. That sounds like a diet, doesn’t it?

Jake Gyllenhaal

For his world champion boxer role in the film SouthpawJake needed to build muscle. He gained a total of 30 pounds in body weight, including 15 pounds of muscle mass! No wonder he looks so bright and great now. In terms of his diet, he didn’t have to change much since he was doing intense and heavy workouts anyway. He stuck to carbohydrates during the day and proteins at night. When he started his fitness training, he completed almost three hours a day. In an interview with PEOPLE, Jake talks about how heaps increased his respect for boxers. He said that the amount of time you have to put in, the sacrifices you have to make for your body is not cake and you will not be eager to do it again! After two months he started exercising 6 hours a day. It included 3 hours of boxing during the day and 3 hours of toning and cardio at night. The film’s director said that Jake put so much dedication and hard work into justifying the role that it even caused problems and ended Jake’s relationship with Alyssa Miller. Jake also spoke about how roles that require physical fitness are the most difficult and nothing compared to what people out there in the real world are actually doing. Jake, you must be tired of working on your body, but we have to say you look delicious! that roles that require physical fitness are the most difficult and is nothing compared to what people out there are actually doing in the real world. Jake, you must be tired of working on your body, but we have to say you look delicious! that roles that require physical fitness are the most difficult and is nothing compared to what people out there are actually doing in the real world. Jake, you must be tired of working on your body, but we have to say you look delicious!

Adrien Brody

You may remember this actor from his role in King Kong where his physical appearance was rather thin. Before Adrien’s role in The Pianist , he was told to lose as much weight as possible, and it clearly paid off when he won the Best Actor Oscar for the role. He is the youngest actor to have achieved this privilege. Eight years later he had to gain weight and muscle to play his role in Predators . Then he gained 25 pounds of muscle. Basically, in six weeks he’d lost 30 pounds and gone from 160 pounds to 130 pounds for a movie and then gained 25 pounds of muscle for a movie in Predators. Just like in his role for The Pianist , Adrien gave full justice and devotion to his role in Predators (2010). In order to build muscle, Adrien gave up alcohol and sugar. Brody said he started lifting heavy weights to look like a mercenary in an alien action movie. He hadn’t lifted weights since he was in college! He followed a strict schedule in which he trained intensively six days a week. He even spent nights in the jungle to feel the role. During his role in The Pianist , Adrien had given up his cell phone, sold his car and scheduled himself in an apartment to take piano lessons. During this time, he lost his long-term relationship. For thePredators He gave up sex. Adrien admitted it completely devastated him. As much as we think it’s easy for the actors, we completely omit those details where they’re going through difficulties to do justice to their roles. Keep it up Adrien!

Gerard Butler

The sexy PS I Love You actor won the hearts of millions with his stunning physique in the movie, 300 . He went through an intense four months of development for his role. It certainly paid off as Gerard looked sexier than ever. He worked to completely transform his body and mind. For his role as King in 300Butler watched what he ate and made sure everything was fine every few hours to refuel. His training was intense and not for the faint of heart. He did 25 pull-ups, 50 push-ups, 50 jumps on a 24-inch box, 50 deadlifts with a 135-pound barbell, 50 one-arm presses with a 36-pound kettlebell, 50 floor sweeps, and then another 25 pull-ups without a break! phew For the finishing touches, he indulged in difficult exercises such as changing tires and gymnastics training. Gerard said the routine was difficult and difficult to manage, especially after filming wrapped. After the filming of the film, Butler completely gave up intensive training and apparently lost most of the muscles. He then tried to maintain his fitness, by eating a balanced diet and eating healthy and clean. Gerard said that he didn’t once regret putting on his cape and helmet during the film, working on his body when he felt like a lion. Well Gerard we have to say nobody could have done this role better.

Bradley Cooper

If you remember his role from the film A Crew, you must have noticed that Bradley had donned some lean muscles and looked dapper in the film as Templeton faceman Peck. He needed to get in shape and cut the fat. He gave up all the sugar, salt and flour for the roll. He eliminated sandwiches from his diet. As a substitute he would have grapes with almonds in between, Bradley said jokingly. His diet eventually helped him carve out a tighter midsection and eliminate fat completely. In terms of training, he spent about two hours a day with his personal trainer. He followed the 3-2-1 method, which included three cardio circuits, two strength-training exercises, and one core workout for about 10 minutes each! He also speed hiked up to the famous Vancouver track commonly known as “The Grind”. Otherwise, Bradley had to give up alcohol to be able to wake up and kick ass at the gym tomorrow. Giving up alcohol also made him feel more energized. Bradley said it’s the worst routine and it’s super difficult to keep up. Given his fondness for sandwiches, we hope you’ll eat Bradley again.

Steve Harvey

^{On his} 50thbirthday, Harvey’s son jokingly called him an “old man” and a call-in listener on his radio show called him “over the hill”. At that moment Steve realized he was out of shape. He said his arms looked like blocks of flesh just hanging there with no definition or curves. He got tired of looking at himself like that and decided it was time for a change. With his coaching buddy Lee Haney, Harvey launched the “50 and Fly” campaign to motivate men over 40 to get up, get in shape, and stop whining that they’re getting too old. In October 2010, Harvey decided to embark on the highly controversial “21 pounds in 21 days” detox program, which allowed no food to be eaten or chewed, and replacing it with a full liquid diet. He became more and more active and was always on his feet. He worked on the treadmill to build up his core stimulation. He also did some heavy lifts, rolls and laterals, some serious military dumbbell presses, side pulldowns, and frontal raise combos. He also did circuit training exercises like lunges and crunches. Harvey followed a strict rule throughout his fitness regime that he would eat for what he wanted to do, not what he had already done. He ate carbs before exercise and protein when he was about to settle down for a while. He also wanted to “stimulate, not crush,” meaning he would train to keep fit rather than completely wearing down his body. steve said that he’s neither a gym rat nor a bodybuilder, but for the shape he’s maintaining through age he seems to be in pretty good shape. Well done Steve!

Joe Manganiello

Joe got totally ripped and his gorgeous abs deserve a standing ovation. During his role in One Tree Hill as Owen Morello, Joe wasn’t exactly flimsy, but he always wanted a bigger, bulkier, and ripped body. Later for his role in True BloodHe had no better reason than to be fooled. Back then, he took fitness very seriously and there was no looking back at Joe. He was strict about his diet and continued to eat proteins like chicken, oatmeal, green beans, apples, protein bars, fish and almonds. He also followed a pattern at the gym. He did legs on Monday and Thursday, shoulders and biceps on Tuesday and Friday, and back and triceps on Wednesday and Saturday. He also has 45 minutes of cardio before breakfast every day. Joe remembers a time when a friend called him and said he got a cake with a picture of Joe on it for a girl at his friend’s office. He said that a year earlier he hadn’t really been involved with anyone and he felt really good about himself. It made him

Drew Carey

Everyone remembers this comedian because he’s fat, chubby and with thick black glasses. Drew lost 70 pounds in five months! During a conversation, Drew said he was sick of being fat and needed a change in his life. He has completely reduced all types of carbohydrates. No bread, crackers, pizza, corn and beans. Basically, he also cut off strength of all kinds. Instead, he ate protein, yogurt, fruit, lean meat, and plenty of water. Drew took advice from his trainer, but mostly worked alone. He followed a rigorous cardio regimen that included a lot of running. He was once discovered with type 2 diabetes. After his transformation, Carey said the disease had completely left his body. He admits he’s cheated on his diets a few times, but hey,

Christian Bale

For his stunning performance The Mechanic Christian had to portray a sleepless factory worker with a skeletal body. He had dropped from 180 pounds to 120 pounds. After that for his role as Batman in The Dark Knight he weighed up to 220 pounds again. For Mechanic Bale would hardly eat anything, like a tuna or an apple and nothing else! He was in full starvation mode, which admittedly isn’t very good for one’s body. After that, he needed to boost his metabolism, which was evidently wrecked in his starvation period for The Mechanic. He began heavy weight training, plyometric circuit training, and strength training. He added in martial arts, squats, pull ups, lots of sprints and lunges, and some high pulls. Going from 120 to 220 pounds through exercise and strength training is no joke. Not only is it harmful to the body, but it can also be deadly. Still, Bale looked like Batman and we adore him for that role. We would definitely give him a 10 out of 10 for his hard work, dedication and motivation. we love you bale
