He told the magazine: 'When I read the part, it felt immediately that my character [serial killer Picasso] is burning energy on almost a hyper level. 'Without needing to spend any time in the gym he would just look like that.
Lights, camera, action: The former Lost actor now looks incredibly lean and toned thanks to a very taxing diet 'Almost disturbingly vascular and tendony, and f*****g just... weird.

He said: 'I didn’t want to lose weight unhealthily, but I didn’t know how to do it any other way.
Slim star: The full interview is December's Men's Health 'I read somewhere that when Christian Bale was preparing for The Machinist he ate nothing but an apple a day for months. Just one apple. That can’t be good for you.' To lose the 20kg of body fat, his diet consisted mainly of chicken breast, steamed broccoli and protein shakes made with water.
