Well, being 6' 5', pull-ups are my nemesis. I have really long arms so I have to do twice the work of someone with short arms to get the weight up there.
I wake up at the same time every day to get to the gym.
I don’t think there’s any such thing as male objectification…I think that word exists only with women because there are societal pressures for them to behave a certain way and to look a certain way. Someone put it to me once: Women are sex objects and men are success objects. That was really interesting to me.

I train like a pro-athlete, not like an actor who's just trying to look pretty.
Well, if I hadn't have been an actor I would have gone on to play college sports.

Acting was my first love.
