nice able slides
I seem to be able to just sort of sink and slide under the radar, which is nice.
book fighting thinking
Well in the comic book world, I think the Hulk is the strongest, but I think I'd give him a heck of a fight!
hard-work thinking keys
People always talk about how diet is such a massive part of training, but they think that if they cheat all the time they can somehow out-do the damage in the gym. The key is to keep it balanced and stay on the diet and do the hard work, and when you push through your body will really start to respond.
thinking people body
I think people get intimidated, and they think results should happen right away. Like I said earlier, the body can only change so fast, and so when you're doing it right you just have to keep at it and keep up with a balanced program.
cheating thinking long
I think it's easy to forget just how massive the muscles in the legs are, and how much testosterone is released in your body when you make sure you work your legs hard. Some people's bodies just take a long time to grow, and if you're naturally thin there's no cheating. It takes time. Your body will only grow muscle at a certain rate for your genetics, so take your time and keep at it.
sports fighting law
When things could've gone really bad, rugby caught my interest and I really stuck with it. The sport brought me, maybe off the streets where we'd be fighting, into putting in a good effort in the rugby field where you're kind of rewarded for that rough behaviour instead of in trouble with the law.
workout exercise large-groups
It's tough, you know, when you're thin and you don't put on muscle mass that easily. What you've got to remember is that you really have to eat a lot and you have to work your body out with basic exercises like deadlifts and squats and the bench press - the workouts that are basic in form but work a large group of muscles.
character play mind
I don't mind what the role is at all; I just want to play cool characters.
libido knows
I know what it's like to have an inflated libido.
thinking guy facts
I like the fact that I can do stunts, but I don't think of myself as a stunt guy. Those guys are really good at what they do.
two training sticks
I eat pretty clean, but the training is tiring. When you're training two times a day it can be really draining, so I'd rather stick with the diet.
drama school high-school
I started drama in high school.
film
I would love to work on a Bond film.
character artist work-out
I really tried to work out hard to emulate the look and feel of the character, and did my best to represent the great artists that created him. At the same time, as an actor you have to find what you relate to in the character and make it your own, and hopefully people respond to it.
