If you caught Jason Momoa in 2011’s Conan the Barbarian movie or in Game of Thrones, then you can’t have failed to notice that he’s pretty buff.
Speaking to Men’s Health in the March issue, he reveals that it’s not just genetics (it never is though, is it?) but a lot of discipline and hard work.
“You need to eat big and lift big. But I prefer to eat as much lean meat and green veg as possible and save the calories for Guinness. It keeps you sane,” he says.
“I love carbs but denial is good training for the mind. After finishing a one-month cleanse, I had a giant bowl of pasta and I swear to Christ it was like I was on heroin.”
It’s not all hard work and no play, though; it’s just a case of finding the right balance: “I love cigars and booze. If you’re going to pound the beers you’ve got to suck it up. It [the treadmill] gets you going, man. Then you can have that beer.”
