Stephen Amell of Arrow Interview
I am thrilled to announce that I was able to get an exclusive interview with Stephen Amell, star of the hit show Arrow!
I have been watching the awesome show Arrow, for a couple years now, and I was blown away by Stephen’s incredible physique and fitness capabilities.
In this podcast I sit down and talk with Stephen Amell and we discuss how Amell got into such incredible shape for the show!
People assume that it must be so easy for actors to stay in great shape, but when you have just six weeks to prepare for a season and then you’re filming 12-14 hours per day, balancing a family life, it’s a different story.
Interestingly enough, those crazy workouts scenes in the show, well not only are they completely real, but the director actually worked them into the script after seeing video clips of Stephen Amell training at a ‘free running’ gym.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Amell’s workout regime before Arrow (2:00)
