Luke Evans is in everything!

Well, we still need him in some Marvel and DC, but it seems like everything…

I’m talking Dracula Untold, multiple Fast and Furious movies as Shaw, multiple Hobbit movies as Bard, Immortals as Zeus, Robin Hood, Beauty and the Beast as Gaston and so much more.

C’mon those are some pretty awesome films.

And, he stays right in there, looking shredded and awesome, while fighting alongside guys like Vin Diesel, and Dwayne Johnson in Fast and Furious, Henry Cavill in Immortals, and the entire Hobbit cast.

Luke Evans Stats:

Height: 6’0

Weight: (approximate) 175 lbs

Age: 38 years old

Luke Evans’ stats put him right around the mid-range, but not quite falling under the category of “average” at SHJ.  We’re dealin’ with celebs here…remember?  Not that he’s far off by any means, though.

The average is more around the 6’1′-6’3 range with guys like Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth (Triple Chris Threat), Stephen Amell, Tyler Hoechlin, Adam Driver and a ton of others.

Even above them are dudes like The Mountain, Batista, Joe Manganiello, Jason Momoa, Ben Affleck and Ray Fisher.

But, we also have dudes around that 5’11-6’0 range like Luke Evans.  Dudes like Chris Pine, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and a good handful more.

The shortest SHJ dudes are guys like Mark Wahlberg, Daniel Radcliffe, Zac Efron and Tom Holland.

But, either way, don’t worry.

These plans are made for anyone and everyone to utilize.

Luke Evans Diet and Nutrition

Okay, while I definitely recommend checking out Gaston’s Tavern in Disney World and trying the GIANT cinnamon roll and LeFou’s brew, a frozen apple juice drink with a hint of toasted marshmallow and topped with mango foam – I’m pretty sure Luke Evans isn’t utilizing those in his diet.

Here’s a quote from Evans when he was getting ripped for Dracula:

“I love my food and I like wine and it’s really tough,” he told UK Men’s Health. “What I miss most is alcohol. When everyone is having a drink and you can’t it stops you going out as much. Booze is a nightmare for empty calories and you can’t train the day after. Socialising and enjoying a night out – not doing that is the hard bit.”

Actually, we just saw a similar opinion of alcohol from Joe Manganiello.

Evans is definitely very serious about his training and nutrition when it’s time to cut back for a role.

Here’s another quote from Men’s Health, talking about his restricted dietary pillars:

“No sauces, no creams, no breads, no pastas, just very clean food. Incredibly boring. It just gets dull after a while. But you know you need to do that when you’re attaining a certain look. And it was about keeping the body fat low.”

We’re more about a non-boring and sustainable approach within The Academy Nutrition Classes (Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, SuperHumans and Minimalists) – but heck, it sure works for him.

And, if you’re a first time SHJ finder, I’d suggest checking out our nutrition pillars here on the site, and know that I talk a ton about intermittent fasting (which guys like Terry Crews and Hugh Jackman love), and cyclical ketosis.

Luke Evans Workout Routine Research

Evans own Instagram is a great place to see some of his training.  He doesn’t specify any exact formatting with his routine, but it’s definitely motivational if you’re a fan.

Here’s a quote from Evans in an interview with Men’s Health about his training for Immortals:

‘You’ve got muscle but we need to lean you up,’” Evans says. “So over seven weeks we trained hard and just took all the body fat away. I think it sort of worked.”

If you can remember back to Immortals, both Evans and Henry Cavill were shredded for their roles!

And another quote regarding his training for Fast and Furious:

“For me it was more about how I felt being ripped, rather than looking as muscular as the rest of them. I knew I had to be able to stand up to their characters. One day I had to repeatedly kick Vin Diesel in the head, and I had to know I could do that, take after take.”

And, he’s definitely stayed ripped.

In his own Instagram posts he writes “198… 199… 200! How’s your training going? #MondayMotivation” on his post of him doing some shirtless dumbbell bench press.

Sooooo, we can definitely assume he’s counting some serious reps!

And, a final quote from TrainMag confirms he loves his circuit styled training, and more:

“I always train, even when I’m not working on something. I enjoy it and it does a lot for me. My training is different though – in that it’s a lot more relaxed, but it does me a lot of good. Even if I’m absolutely shattered and I don’t want to go, I never regret training. I always regret when I decide not to go. If I’m training for a specific role or not, I never spend that long in there. I really go at a particular muscle group hard. I move fast in the gym – 30 seconds to a minute between each set – and I’m big on supersets.

“I like getting circuits in as well to really beat up my muscles and I always try to change up my routines. My workouts are a mix of weights and bodyweight moves. Diet wise I relax a lot more as well. I’m very healthy, but I’ll have a glass of wine and eat what I want if I really want it. Thankfully, I’m at the point where I know my body and my calorie intake, as well as how long it’s going to take me to look a certain way for something. A big thing I’d say for everyone is: know what you’re eating and learn as much as you can about nutrition.”

Yeah, it’s a long one, but definitely worth the read.
