Josh Brolin is getting ready for taking his duties as ‘Cable’ in the upcoming ‘Deadpool 2.’ In preparation for the role, he has been spending a considerable amount of time at the gym, and now he’s totally ripped.
The 49-year-old actor is in the best shape he’s been in his entire life. It comes as no surprise since the Marvel character is a totally jacked mutant with a bionic arm. Seriously, the guy is huge. So Brolin’s efforts have been truly tough to actually resemble the time-traveling warrior.
The actor – who is known for his dramatic roles in films like ‘No Country for Old Men’ and ‘Milk’ – even changed his hair to match his character’s look. Give him a massive gun and there you have it, a breathing, living Cable.
You can take a peek at Brolin’s progress through his many Instagram posts at the gym. You can actually feel the pain just by watching.
A good trainer, diet, discipline, and a little competition
Naturally, to get as ripped as Brolin, you need to put a lot of effort and make some sacrifices. In a recent post on Instagram, he thanked his trainer and sponsors, and even mentioned he saw Dave Bautista at the gym and he said: “What the f*ck happened to you?!”
He also shared his really strict “clean” diet: “no sugar, no bread, no pasta, no drugs, none of it. Fish, rice, eggs, veggies, water,” and especial coffee in the morning.
“I’m almost 50. It’s a different time: our access along with some big picture discipline results in always surprising milestones. Get on the train,” he also wrote in the caption.He ended the post with a number of hashtags, including “#wedontfuckaround” and, most notably, “#ryanreynoldsismybitch.” He has used that one a couple of times, actually.
Brolin’s co-star Ryan Reynolds is known for his very impressive physique, which has helped him a lot in his role as Deadpool. But now that Brolin is a massive bunch of muscles, he just wants to troll Reynolds for a while.
