The key to a toned torso: Fasting till 7pm
SEEING his bare chest has become a regular Sunday night treat for viewers across the country.
Now Aidan Turner, 34, has revealed the secret behind his perfectlyhoned physique: Fasting until 7pm and exercising twice a day.
The star, who has become a sex symbol thanks to his constant foregoing of shirts, said he had to work hard on his figure during filming, avoiding food until 7pm each day.
Admitting he became ‘hooked’ on intermittent fasting, he said: ‘My energy levels soared. I quite liked the hunger pangs. It’s good for the job. It keeps you in it, you know?’ The Irishman admitted to an intense exercise regime that sees him exercise every day, sometimes even fitting in two workouts.
Despite working on his notably chiselled body constantly during the seven months it takes to film a series of Poldark, the actor insisted it is not an ‘obsession’.
‘I guess people think that I care about my body a lot. I try to keep healthy, but it’s not an obsession. I don’t only choose roles that require me to be in a certain kind of shape. For Poldark, it had to be this way and it is what it is,’ he told the Sunday Times magazine.
