Don't ask Mescal about his daily caloric intake.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Gladiator 2 star Paul Mescal addresses his physical preparation for the role, calling out superhero actors for lying about their diets and workouts. Directed again by Ridley Scott, the upcoming sequel continues the story of his 2000 sword-and-sandal epic starring Russell Crowe. Mescal stars as Lucius in the follow-up movie, and videos having already been released showing his workout-heavy training for the role.
The actor touches on Crowe's physique from the original movie and how it differs from something like a superhero movie, throwing some shade in the process. Check out Mescal's full comment below: “And I think there is way more interesting questions and conversations to be had about films like this rather than, ‘How many calories did you eat in a day?’ Which I’m convinced is always… Whenever you hear somebody saying they ate 7,000 calories in a day, I think they’re lying.
Mescal's Gladiator 2 Physique Comments Explained Ultimately, what Mescal seems to be getting with his comments regarding Crowe and superhero movies that different types of physiques benefit different types of roles. For the 2000 original film, Crowe had to be physically capable not only due to the physical nature of the role, but because his character, Maximus, is a former Roman general who is sold into slavery and forced to fight for his freedom.
