Gerard Butler’s fake abs as Leonidas in the movie ‘300’

Yes, actor Gerard Butler was very strong in the movie ‘300’ playing Leonidas, but his abs were not as real as they appeared on screen.

Admit it, you also started training your abs like crazy after watching the movie ‘300’. And seeing Gerard Butler and the rest of his Spartans marking six pack was almost hypnotic.

Strong, big, defined abs that looked unreal. And, in a way, his abs weren’t one hundred percent real. Although Butler and his companions trained like beasts and ate like monks for months to look perfect on the big movie screen.

“My abdomen in that movie was really brutal. It was months and months of training, diet and intense work. I am very proud of what I achieved; and also of how people reacted when they saw me in the cinema,” commented the actor in a 2006 interview while promoting the film.

But YouTuber Green Fits questions whether his abs were exactly what we saw in the movies. “Logically he achieved that physique with help, it’s Hollywood and they’re professionals! It’s the body we’ve all wanted to have at some point.

A superior genetic abdomen. But then Butler, in the movie ‘An Exemplary Citizen’, confessed that he also tried to be as fit as possible. strong and defined as possible and the result was not the same.

Comparing both abdomens, in both films Gerard was brutal, but you can notice the difference and a lot. Not even being super disciplined is it normal to have abs like Leonidas’s in ‘300’.

And keep it in the time, without help, I see it as complicated. So… Reducing an abdomen with that depth has more to do with genetics than with training. That’s my opinion.”
