Rising young Hollywood-er who hit the big time playing the loin-clothed adorned George in George of the Jungle 2. No doubt it was that beefy build that helped Showerman - rumoured to have been a contender for the role of Superman in the recent retool - that helped Showerman nab the lead role in the aforesaid Disney sequel. "I have been interested in bodybuilding since I was 7. When I got my first weight set and an Arnold Schwarzenegger calendar at 9, I was hooked for life. However, when I booked George, I had to drop about 10 kilos while maintaining my muscle mass in less than 2 months!! The intensity of diet and exercise was at such an excruciating level, I thought I would die. The end justified the means, as I got down to 88 kilos and 3.3% body fat", Showerman told IRONMAN recently. Showerman next appears in the thriller Sea of Fear, playing the polar opposite to the jungle-livin' hero. |
