STEPHEN MAHY

The actor and theatre star can’t go past ice cream for his blowout meal.

Do you get your five a day?

Absolutely! Either through my smoothie or with each meal on the hour or two.

Have you ever dieted?

I used to be a marketer’s dream and try everything from fasting to the 5/2 diet, I think it’s called.

Sleep or sex?

Does sleepy sex count? Sex over sleep most days of the week.

What is your absolute blowout meal?

Ice cream! Two scoops on a waffle cone of Royal Copenhagen’s Royal Copenhagen flavour.

Have you had any operations? Broken bones?

My first operation was to have my adenoids out at a young age because I had earaches every month. I’ve broken both wrists skateboarding and playing rugby.

What’s been your biggest health mistake?

Burning the candle at both ends. I partied way too much in my early 20s and I wish someone told me to start working on my legs at the gym. They carry you for your entire life.

What regular vitamins do you take?

I don’t take vitamins that much anymore. I try to get all my nutrients from food. But if I feel like something is niggling, I will take ArmaForce.

What health advice would you have given yourself 10 years ago?

Stop drinking soft drink, eating take away and don’t believe all the fast fixes to lose weight or put on size.

Would you have plastic surgery? Botox?

I’ve never really thought about plastic surgery to be honest. I’ve seen a lot of people go too far with it all so it scares me.

What is your guilty pleasure in life?

I don’t have any guilty pleasures. I work hard to play hard.
