So, he\u2019s trying to outrun his destructive thoughts. It was purposeful to ugly run. You got nothing on me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then opened up about working out and having to play a hockey player on the hit show. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the longest time, I think I was afraid of working out too much. And now, this year in particular, my whole outlook on it kind of changed. I was like, I want to look like I\u2019ve never read a book. For like a brief moment in time, I achieved that&lt;&#8221; the actor said. &#8220;When they asked me to play a hockey player, well, first of all, I thought I need to skate properly and stop and skate backwards and in circles. And uh and also I knew there was a lot of nudity involved and I wanted to just look like a professional athlete. I knew I was never going to have the thighs of a a professional hockey player because they have tree trunks. But I sure did try.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Further in the video, <strong>Fran\u00e7ois<\/strong> talked about those \u201cwatery ass\u201d smoothies in <em>Heated Rivalry<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fran\u00e7ois Arnaud Shows Off His Heated Rivalry Workout | Train Like | Men&#039;s Health\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jiaXqlep9hc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of criticism for the way this smoothie looked on the show. They\u2019re watery ass smoothies. I only had to take a sip or two and pretend they were delicious. And I was picked to do that and I did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for skating training, he noted that none of the main three actors \u2013 him, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/tags\/connor-storrie\/\" title=\"Connor Storrie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Connor Storrie<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/tags\/hudson-williams\/\" title=\"Hudson Williams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Hudson Williams<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 had any prior training, and he even suffered an injury, which freaked out producers!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of the three of us was a good skater before the show. I think I did pretty well. We had an incredible trainer, <strong>Cam Fergus<\/strong>. He\u2019s a stunt coordinator and former pro hockey player. And so we really started from the very beginning,\u201d <strong>Fran\u00e7ois<\/strong> revealed. \u201cI did really well until my very last day, the very last scene of the very last day where I sliced my hand in half during the the scene where I win the the cup. So, I was gloveless and helmetless. Passing the cup to my teammate, the cup was so heavy. I just made sure that he had a good handle on it. And obviously, he\u2019s a pro hockey player. I should have like just trusted him. But he left and I just lost my balance and fell on my hand.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was pretty gnarly. Producers just like gasped, saw my muscle. It was like a chicken wing is what it looked like. And then it just like started gushing blood,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey wanted to take a break and I said no. They gave me some sort of bandage and so we took about 20 minutes and then did my last shot and flew home. That was my last shot on the last day. But otherwise the the hockey training went well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, the goal was not to become a pro hockey player. I mean you see these guys, they just they\u2019re incredible. We had incredible doubles that would score the goal for Scott Hunter and then it cuts to me celebrating with my teammates,\u201d he said, adding, \u201c<strong>Connor<\/strong> kind of skates like an Olympian, and <strong>Hudson<\/strong> skates hockey-style, and I just wing it, like with everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fran\u00e7ois<\/strong> also talked about social media, which if you recall, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/01\/18\/heated-rivalrys-francois-arnaud-unfollows-cast-again-now-only-follows-1-account-as-promised\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he unfollowed everyone on Instagram<\/a> recently, including his co-stars!<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[I&#8217;m] trying to log off. It\u2019s getting a bit crazy. I blocked Twitter from my phone. I don\u2019t want to know what people are saying in that cesspool. And Instagram, I just get distracted. It\u2019s really brain rot and stops me from achieving anything I want to in life,\u201d he shared. \u201cI think the main reason for wanting to log off is seeing how <em>Heated Rivalry<\/em> has become a a mass psychosis event.
