“I wasn’t under any single directive from the movie to get in any kind of shape, but I did. Mainly so I wouldn’t get hurt, and it didn’t work. I got hurt anyway,” he told ET . “I became stronger than I’ve ever been just so I can really play the character.”

“I’m definitely getting to the point where I can’t just wake up and do something like that, so I got ready for it,” Pedro added. “I used to be able to wake up and do it, but things have changed and so I knew I would be able to do those things. I obviously trained and practiced a lot to be able to do that.”
