Ralph Fiennes, renowned for his role in 'Harry Potter,' is preparing to portray Odysseus in the 2024 film 'The Return.' His trainer shared shirtless workout photos showcasing his impressive physique. Fiennes revealed his rigorous training involved weight lifting, running, and a specific diet rich in proteins and vegetables, lasting five months. He noted the director's desire for a more authentic, historical appearance rather than a typical gym body. Fiennes, acknowledging the pressure from his minimal wardrobe, took up the role after a significant gap since first being offered it in 2011.
"At the beginning, I have to confess, I was slightly suspicious that there was so much protein going in and so much exercise that we would have a body that looked exercised instead of a body that was consumed, a lived body. There is no gym in ancient Greece."
"Uberto was very clear. He didn't want me to have a sort of bulked-up gym body. He should look like a bit of old rope."
