14 DAY TRIAL // This Valentine’s Day, make plans to take your special someone to the movies if you want something that delivers the romance but also the hotness. Starring Kevin Hart and Michael Ealy, and Regina Hall and Joy Bryant, “About Last Night” is a remake of the 1986 comedy with Demi Moore and Rob Lowe.
As the trailer embedded below, at the end of this article, can confirm, it will feature plenty of love scenes, which means that all four protagonists had to get in tip-top shape. After all, we all want to look our best on camera, and these four were no exception.
Michael Ealy, famous for his acting skills but also for his gorgeous blue eyes and charming smile, says he felt a lot of pressure to get ripped for this particular film, especially because he had to take his shirt off a lot.
Perhaps what put most pressure on his was the fact that he was told he would play a 28-year-old. Michael, as his fans must know, is actually 40 years old.
“I personally feel like I do look 28 — I never have seen anyone who told me I looked over 35. So OK, I had three months,” he says in a new interview cited by The Inquisitr.
He made sure he did his best to achieve a body producers would be happy with in these 3 months, the actor says, adding that he actually took up a diet and workout routine of an Olympic power lifter.
“The weight lifting was easy. The diet — no sugar, no salt, no carbs, way too much breast of chicken with no seasoning — that was the hardest,” he explains.
At the end of the 3 months, Ealy had gone down 25 pounds (11.3 kg), which the director deemed a bit too much, but he also packed a lot of muscle mass. Luckily, the trailer below includes a scene in which his ripped torso is on full display, so fans can admire Michael’s “body of work” ahead of the theatrical release of the film.
