WHAT IS, YOUR PANTS, YOUR PANTS ARE LIKE, RIGHT DOWN HERE AND YOU GOT THIS THING GOING ON IT'S LIKE WHERE G.I. JOE SNAPS ON THE LEGS. DO YOU STILL HAVE THAT GOING ON? >> NO. >> Stephen: YOU SURE? >> THE DAY WE WRAPPED THE MOVIE, I JUST FELL OFF THE WAGON HARD. >> Stephen: HOW DID YOU GET ON THE WAGON THAT HARD, WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO TO LOOK LIKE THAT? >> MAGNUS. >> Stephen: MAGNUS THE TRAINER, THE ONLY NAME MORE SCANDINAVIAN THAN YOURS? >> MAGNUS, THE SWEDISH DUDE, REGULAR DUDE. >> Stephen: WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO?

THE FIRST PHASES WAS THREE MONTHS OF 7,000 CALORIES A DAY AND LOTS OF WEIGHT LIFTING TO GET BIGGER. >> Stephen: I'M ON THE 7,000 CALORIE THING. I'M WAITING TO GET TO THE WEIGHT LIFTING PART OF IT. >> BUT THE OTHER PART IS LESS EXCITING, SIX MEALS A DAY AND MORE CARDIO, TO GET RID OF THE FAT. >> Stephen: AND NO FUN I BET? >> NO FUN FOR EIGHT MONTHS. >> Stephen: DID YOU EVER HAVE A CHEAT-DAY? >> YES. IT TOOK ME FIVE MONTHS UNTIL I ALLOWED MYSELF OR MAGNUS GAVE ME A CHEAT-DAY. WE SHOT THE MOVIE IN LONDON, WE WERE AT THE GYM AND LIFTING WEIGHTS AND HE SAW THAT MY WILL TO LIVE WAS FADING. AND THEN IT'S BEEN FIVE MONTHS OF BROCCOLI, CHICKEN BREAST AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. AND HE WAS LIKE ALEX LET ME TAKE YOU TO LUNCH, PUT DOWN THE WEIGHTS AND HE TOOK ME TO AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT AND SAID, WHAT DO YOU WANT? I SAID WHAT DO YOU MEAN, CHICKEN BREAST OR SALMON? HE SAID NO, ANYTHING ON THE MENU, I GOT EAT PIZZA, PASTA, TIRAMISU. I GET EMOTIONAL JUST TALKING ABOUT IT.
