Quotes [2012, on being in shape for Magic Mike (2012)] When you're shirtless one or two days a week - which is how it works with True Blood (2008) - you can ramp up and ramp down the intensity of training. When you're shirtless every day, there's no let up. So we spent a fortnight doing thousands of push-ups, thousands of curls, thousands of lat raises. We basically spent every day working out for two weeks in a row. After that, I needed a pretty hardcore vacation. But it was worth it. It was the most fun I've ever had in my life. One hundred percent.
