If the reports of E Online are to be believed, the director of the film, Max Joseph asked Zac to change his looks for the film. He did so subtly by handing Zac a few photographs and telling him about the looks he wanted. The director also recommended that he should stop lifting weights and concentrate more on running on a regular basis.

What was the New Workout?

When the California native looked at the photographs, he realized that the director was right as he really didn’t look like the pictures being shown to him. Hence, he followed the director’s advice meticulously. He started running on a regular basis and it was a cool experience for him. The versatile actor also admitted to trimming his diet, but did not divulge the details of the same.

How the New Workout helped?

The new workout helped the winner of Bravo Otto Award in shooting the film too. The film has many scenes in which he had to run when the temperature was around 110 in the valley where he was shooting. As he had already done a lot of running, he didn’t feel too uncomfortable in shooting for the film in those temperatures.

How the New Workout Tired Him?

The Paperboy actor also paid a bit of a price for getting his new look. Towards the end of the shooting of the film, he had shin splints, his knees hurt from regular excretion and he termed the entire experience as beyond challenging.

His Favorite Running Scene in the Film

Though the talented actor had to shoot many running scenes for the film, he liked the Las Vegas scene the most. In that scene, he and his hot co-star Emily Ratajkowski ran through the Las Vegas while having only a splinter unit of just 10 people. They started shooting as soon as they reached Las Vegas and the actor really had fun with the entire experience.
