I was probably a little too big. I put on an uncomfortable amount of weight and it took me forever to shed it off,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I also noticed the more I trimmed down, the better I looked on camera and the better I looked next to other actors. \u2026 Even at this weight \u2026 at 6\u20194\u2033 [and] 240 pounds, next to your typical actor I look like a gorilla, and it\u2019s distracting.\u201d<\/p>\n Although he said he\u2019s not \u201cstarving himself,\u201d he struggles to maintain his weight.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll probably lose a few more pounds. I\u2019m basically killing myself to be this trim. I mean, I am training hard. My calories are pretty restricted,\u201d he admitted, revealing he only eats 2,500 calories a day, and does intermittent fasting. <\/p>\n He also doesn\u2019t allow himself to eat 3\u20134 hours before he goes to bed.
