Paul Rudd shares the “terrible” and “restrictive” diet he underwent in preparation for his film role ant Man Commercial franchise.

During his last appearance on Off the list On the podcast, where guests talk about their “bucket list,” hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster asked the actor what type of water he prefers.

“When I had to train for ant Man “I was on a very restrictive diet, and my reward was sparkling water,” he replied with a laugh. “This is how terrible this diet is. I was like, ‘Okay, I’m going to have some sparkling water now. I’ve earned it.'”

Rod explained that while he was training and exercising a lot, he would get “lots of sparkling water” as a reward. Acaster proceeded to ask him if it actually felt like fun.

“Yes, it was great,” he said. “There was no flavor, and I wasn’t going crazy.”

the Murders only in the building The actor noted that he mostly sticks to the strict diet and training for all of the Marvel movies. “Once you get into it, it’s actually not too difficult,” he said, adding that he doesn’t mind eating “really boring food, every time, over and over again,” especially since he wakes up with “tons of food.” energy.”

But Rudd isn’t the only actor who has spoken openly about undergoing intense training and dieting for a role, as Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Allen White, Robert Pattinson and Channing Tatum are among others who have previously shared their experiences in Hollywood.

Rudd was later asked if other Marvel stars would “compare notes” about their training when working on a movie set together, including Avengers: Infinity War And game over.

“I mean, I think people are,” he said. “But I also think I tried harder than everyone else, and I ate better than everyone else, and looked worse than everyone else. I had to train all the time, and eat perfectly, just to look kind of bad. Not even great.”

the Live with yourself The actor continued: “I remember that game overChris Hemsworth will always have Tupperware containers eating this porridge made up of just a mixture of things. He’s working out, and then you’re standing next to a guy like that, and I’m like, “Well, what’s the point of any of this?” Why would I kill myself when it exists, then look at myself and it exists. I can never achieve that. …That was the good thing it was Ant-Man, not Thor. But I tried to train, and it didn’t work.”
