Bearded and muscular at 62, Hollywood star Ralph Fiennes looks unrecognizable after intense training for his role as Odysseus in the upcoming film “The Return.”
Ralph Fiennes, the 62-year-old Hollywood actor, went viral on social media after his trainer shared footage showing the “Conclave” star sweaty and ripped.
Fiennes was undergoing an intense workout regimen to prepare for the role of Odysseus in “The Return,” a film adapting the final chapters of Homer’s “Odyssey.”
During a Q&A following a special screening of the film in Mayfair, London, the Hollywood star spoke about his training routine and mentioned a scene in which he appears nude.
“I wanted to be believable as a man who had fought, sailed, swum, and not eaten properly,” said Fiennes, who thanked his physical trainer Dan Avasilcai, with whom he had previously worked on “The King’s Man.”
“Thanks to a wonderful trainer, Dan, we worked side by side to get me into the shape you see. But a lot of it was Dan’s knowledge of diet and training. He was very, very precise!” he said.
The “Clash of the Titans” star revealed that he followed a diet free of bread, sweets, and alcohol.
In “The Return,” the Hollywood star plays Odysseus, who returns home 20 years after leaving his wife Penelope, portrayed by Juliette Binoche.
