"And also it was a process of, we lifted weights as well, in an effort to train my body to then be able to lift heavier weights when I got in Australia. So that was the first couple of months"
About this Quote
The specificity of “Australia” does a lot of hidden lifting. It hints at a production relocation (a shoot, a new phase of prep, a different gym, different coaches), and it signals the globalized assembly line of franchise-making: you don’t just play the role, you travel to where the role gets manufactured. The goal isn’t strength in the abstract but readiness for a future environment, as if the body must be pre-approved for the demands of a set.
There’s subtextual humility, but also a reveal of how acting labor gets reframed as athletic discipline. “Train my body” positions the self as manager and the body as employee: optimize, scale up, deliver. That’s why it lands. It’s not inspirational; it’s industrial. The line captures how contemporary screen masculinity is built less on myth than on months of incremental, trackable upgrades - and how celebrities normalize that grind by narrating it like routine commute talk.
