In an interview, he got candid about his workout habits, especially for his role in 300 and its sequel where he obtained a ripped physique. Interestingly, he said that he achieved his masculine body by surfing.

He explained: “It’s a workout, but it makes me feel good. You’re building your core by riding waves and your back and shoulders by paddling.” The actor shared that he started surfing when he was 17 and has done it ever since. He added: “I lived in Hawaii for a while doing Lost’s third season, and it was paradise. I’d go surfing two or three times a day when I wasn’t working.” When he’s not surfing, he maintains his amazing body by doing bodyweight workouts to work on his core strength and upper body.
