LOS ANGELES – Gerard Butler has been doing yoga to lose weight.
The 'Coriolanus' star unveiled his dramatically slimmer physique in August and he admits he has been keeping trim thanks to a careful diet and exercise plan.
He said: "I ate my last meal in October and I run about 40 miles day. I'm joking! It's just doing a lot of cardio and extremely watching what I eat. I stopped lifting big weights and I'm doing yoga.
"It's not hard to stay in shape. It's hard to be in really good shape!"
The Scottish hunk believes he may have also lost weight because he is doing a surfing movie in the future and has been training in preparation.
He added to US Weekly: "If I wear a long shirt, everyone says, 'Oh my, God! He lost so much weight!' But this is just how I look.
"I just used to be a lot bigger. But now I'm surfing. I'm doing a surf movie so I have to slim down. I don't know, maybe I'm sick or something!"
Gerard is not the only Hollywood star to credit muscle-stretching exercise as a way of staying fit - Jennifer Aniston is also a fan.
She previously said: "I do yoga, yoga is very important. I love it. If I'm not doing it, then my spirit sort of goes.
"I try to do some form of exercise, even if it's just for 20 minute a day, so that I get my body sweating and blood pumping."
