“I had to get on the soup diet,” Apollo revealed. “Luca did not tell me to lose weight, but when you’re about to have sex with Daniel Criag, you’re like, ‘Oh, dude, I can’t be looking off.’ I was at 200 pounds, because I’m six-five.”
He continued, “It’s around where I should be honestly. But I got down to 181 when the movie came. I lost 20 pounds because I read in the script that my character had a flat brown stomach.
