MILES TELLER, OCTOBER 2015
WORK FOR WHAT YOU WANT, PROVE EVERYONE WRONG
“You can’t wait for people to tell you [you have what it takes]. You have to tell them.”
When Teller was cast to play Vinny “the Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza (the five-time world boxing champion) in, Bleed for This, he wasn't the obvious choice.
“At the time I was 188 pounds and 19% body fat. Breakfast was protein powder, ice, water, a splash of almond milk, and some frozen fruit—like, maybe, 10 blueberries. Anytime I had two hours, I worked out.”
And in the end...
“We did this test: Without any fat, my body would weigh 155 pounds—just my muscle and bones. That means I was carrying only 13 extra pounds. I felt superlight. I felt incredible.”
