How marvel forced chris pratt to get jacked 💪
Chris Pratt had to drink two gallons of water a day during intense training for Star-Lord roleHowever, when he landed the leading role in Guardians of the Galaxy he had to get into shape, and not just any shape but movie star action hero shape.
You've probably heard how stars like Hugh Jackman and Henry Cavill went through punishing regimes to play muscular protagonists who get shirtless on screen, and for the final touch before filming to be days of dehydration to tighten the skin.
However, in Pratt's case his personal nightmare during his exercise regime was over-hydration, as Marvel's nutritionist had him ditch the beer and replace it with a daily dose of about two gallons of water.Pratt shed about 60 pounds in six months to get into shape as Star-Lord which is quite incredible when you learn he was also on a diet of around 4,000 calories per day.
The actor said at the time that drinking so much water meant he was 'peeing all day long, every day' and said 'that part was a nightmare' when getting in shape for his role.
According to Vanity Fair, Pratt was first dismissed as 'totally wrong' for the leading part in Guardians of the Galaxy after he'd first auditioned to be Captain America, a part taken by Chris Evans.
