A post shared by Gladiator (@gladiatormovie)I bet it was fun for him [co-star Paul Mescal, 28, who said training for the film was fun].
Maybe it would’ve been fun for me too, if I was 20 years younger.I was in no single directive from the movie to get in any kind of shape, but I did.
Mainly so that I wouldn’t get hurt, and it didn’t work. I got hurt anyway.I got stronger than I’ve ever been just so that I can play the character, really.
I was snatched in the leather armor.It’s a lot of fun but I’m definitely getting to the point where I can’t just wake up and do stuff like that, so I got ready for that.
