Henry Cavill may have just landed the role of a character that doesn’t need to do a thing to stay fit, but in reality he’s just as human as the rest of us!
Though, the rest of us don’t have to bulk up with 5k calories a day! Whoa!
“I’m on 5000 calories a day… You’ve got to eat protein first, then a little bit of carbs…you’ve gotta keep your hunger levels going,” he told the magazine. “I’m training two and a half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.”
“It’s going to be a different kind of shape. When you see the Immortals shape you’ll see what I mean,” he told the site. “We obviously haven’t had the final brief yet, it’s going to adapt and change as far as when Mark sees my body adapting to the training he’ll go, ‘Okay, Henry can do this,’ or ‘Henry can’t do this,’ or ‘His body will look better like that.’ It’ll be fine-tuned and tweaked as we go along. But I think it’s going to be a different sort of shape from ‘Immortals.'”
For us normal not-playing-the-man-of-steel folk, there is no way we’d need 5,000 calories and 2.5 hours of training a day!
The things actors do for their roles — this shows a ton of commitment, and we can’t wait to see Henry as Superman!
