J.K. Simmons recently sat down for an interview with The Business Insider, to talk about pictures that have recently surfaced of him getting ripped in preparation for his role in the new Justice League movie. Here's what he had to say, as reprinted by People:
"This is all coincidental. I'm not going to mess with something that iconic..After the second and final time that I got hugely fat in my life and when I lost that weight six or seven years ago, I pretty much decided that I was going to stay in decent shape for the rest of my life. I was not in good shape at all,. I was overweight and soft and here I am playing the head of the Aryan Brotherhood in this maximum-security prison in the first-ever HBO original drama and I was watching the first season when it came out and I just thought, 'Wow, I don't believe this guy at all. I have to get my ass to the gym and be a believable hard-ass.' ...I've gone back and forth with fine-tuning the kind of conditioning I'm doing. Sometimes trying to shed weight and getting leaner and sometimes trying to pack on a little more muscle."
On trainer Aaron Williamson:
"I just had free time to go to the gym, so I started training with him."
