Margot Robbie’s Secret Behind Her Physique in Barbie
A balanced approach to fitness is the secret to the physique of the Australian actress playing the role of Barbie. Some might assume that the preparation for the role involved extreme diets or rigorous training, but the truth is surprising. Margot Robbie emphasized a sustainable and balanced diet. Instead of undergoing drastic ones, the Babylon star was all about healthy eating habits and fueling up her body with the right nutrients and occasional treats.
Robbie even engaged in diverse workout regimens for sculpting her physique. She enjoyed high-intensity interval training, strength training, and Pilates mix. It helped her to burn calories, improve cardio health, and even allowed her to have a lean and long figure. Every bit of the Birds of Prey actress’ training and diet regimen was a success. It promoted overall functionality, fitness, and a positive mindset and made her look amazing.
Ryan Gosling’s Training Had a Different Approach from Margot Robbie’s
Ryan Gosling, on the other hand, to get in Ken shape, maintained a training regimen that was more intense than Robbie’s. As per reports, he had a strict protein diet that had low carbohydrates. He maintained a 16:8 (16 hours fast and 4 spaced-out meals in rest) intermittent fasting routine, too, and gave up on caffeine and alcohol during the training.
As for the workout routine, Gosling had an intense one. He did a lot of weightlifting and bodybuilding to achieve a chiseled and muscular appearance. He maintained cardio and kept on with the MMA training and boxing too. By starring as Ken, Ryan Gosling proved himself as a versatile talent with an open mind and prime physicality. His abs added to his charisma in the role.
Ryan Gosling Had a Change of Heart
During an interview in 2011, the La La Land actor revealed that he preferred exercising to working out or going to the gym. He also said that he liked doing ballet and gymnastics. He added:
“Making muscles is boring and they don’t do anything—they are just like pets eventually. You have to feed them, take care of them, and they are useless. Gym muscles are useless. And they look stupid; you can’t do anything with them. You can only lift a lot of weight on that machine that you built them on. They have no practical use.”
Both Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling committed to the roles, but the way Gosling proved himself and became a fitness goal for many, it’s amazing. It shows commitment and versatility. Probably this is what makes Gosling’s performances unforgettable and leaves audiences captivated by his magical role.
