Zac Efron, Baywatch

For six months before production of 2017’s Baywatch, the former child star worked with acclaimed fitness trainer Patrick Murphy to obtain the body needed for the shoot. He exercised five days a week and saw him say goodbye to sugars and carbs completely.

‘Patrick pushed me to my ‘functional’ limits with a very multifaceted style: strength, explosiveness, fast-paced, calculated, diverse and gut-wrenching workouts,’ Efron explained.
