Managed to pick up a copy of Men's Health yesterday, and let's just say those photos of GB are even better on glossy paper. Just guh!

And reading just exactly what training regime he had to go through for "300" makes me exhausted thinking about it. Four months of solid, intense body training and then hours of weapons training to. This for a man who admits he wasn't in the best shape before hand (and judging from some of those pics from July 2005, I'd agree). One interesting thing was that the training was so intense that after the film wrapped, he went into total burnout for several months...which his trainer said wasn't unusual...and just slobbed around, although he finally did get back into a training program, though nowhere near as extreme.

Another point was that he was doing the interview for this magazine and still smoking...which he didn't miss the irony of. Still trying to quit, although it's obviously not working. He once told Jay Leno that he had tried to quit 27 times over a two year period.

But, oh those pictures!!!

I've been staring longingly at this magazine every time I check out at the grocery store. This is incentive for me to actually buy the damn thing next time!

And the thought of Gerry Butler slobbing around makes me giggle.

*squee* You got it!! I looked around for it the other day at the store and couldn't find it but you bet I'm gonna look a lot harder tomorrow. I wasn't sure if it was out yet. I'm looking forward to reading the article and ogling all those gorgeous glossy pics. :)

I saw a TV ad for "300" the other day, too. *THUD* God, he's incredible.
