Jai Courtney (who will be playing Kyle Reese in Terminator: Genisys) is taking his duties as the father of John Connor seriously. He took beer and carbs out of his diet to get fit for his role in the upcoming Terminator reboot.
Actors and actresses losing a lot of weight in order to fully embody a role is not unheard of. At times it can be unhealthy due to the side-effects of losing huge amounts of weight fast. Hence someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger; keeping fit is important if he keeps on doing action roles.
For the recent Guardians of the Galaxy, Chris Pratt lost 60 pounds for his role in the movie.
Jai courtney stated:
“There’s an expectation you will look your best,’’
“I really have to watch it because eating good food is something I am passionate about. Eating a balanced, nutritionally-focused diet is tough. So what I will tend to do is really knuckle down for periods of time when it really has to count.”
So why is he losing weight for his role besides needing to be fit?
Jai Courtney will appear naked in Terminator: Genisys at least once (confirmed) and also topless at least a couple of times.
He will obviously be naked when he arrives from the future and of course he needs to make a baby to fulfill his full mission… but will this be PG-13 baby making?
He has done nudity before in Spartacus and he is the official face of Bond’s right now so doing photo shoots in his underpants is a common event.
How do you feel about seeing Jai Courtney naked on the big screen?
