Paul Rudd recently revealed the arduous and stringent diet he underwent to prepare for his role in the Ant-Man series, describing it as \u201chorrible\u201d and \u201crestrictive.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a conversation on the Off Menu podcast, where guests discuss their dream menu, Rudd humorously shared that during his rigorous training for the Ant-Man movie, his reward for sticking to the strict diet was sparkling water. He jokingly mentioned that the severity of the diet made sparkling water feel like a luxury: \u201cThat\u2019s how horrible that diet was. I was like, \u2018Alright, I\u2019m gonna have some sparkling water now, I\u2019ve earned it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor explained that while working out extensively, he would treat himself with \u201ca lot of sparkling water,\u201d emphasizing that it was the unflavored variety and not anything extravagant.<\/p>\n
Rudd acknowledged that following such a disciplined diet and workout routine was standard practice for all his Marvel movies. He noted that once he immersed himself in the routine, it didn\u2019t feel too challenging, and the benefits included waking up with high energy levels despite consuming \u201creally boring food, every time, over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Rudd admitted that despite his dedication to training and adhering to a strict diet, he often felt like he didn\u2019t achieve the same impressive physique as some of his Marvel co-stars. Comparing his efforts to the likes of Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Rudd humorously expressed his disbelief at the stark difference in outcomes despite rigorous workouts and disciplined eating: \u201cI had to work out all the time, eat perfectly, just to look kind of bad. Not even like great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reflecting on moments during the filming of Endgame, Rudd recounted witnessing Hemsworth\u2019s dedicated diet and workout routine and marveling at the difference in results. He humorously questioned the purpose of his intense regimen when compared to Hemsworth\u2019s chiseled physique, stating, \u201cI can never achieve that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rudd concluded by expressing relief that he wasn\u2019t playing a character like Thor, emphasizing that despite his efforts, achieving a similar physique seemed unattainable for him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
