Your character in The White Lotus loves protein shakes. Are you a protein shake man your self?

I’m; I do like them. I like peanut butter and banana—and I like a banana with peanut butter as a pre-run gas, but in addition I like a peanut butter banana smoothie.

Whereas we had been in Thailand, I feel I solely had perhaps one smoothie the seven months we had been on the market. We actually didn’t have many, however I’d have those that had been on set sometimes after we had been mixing them. Mike [White] thought it was so humorous how a lot protein powder I used to be placing within the shake. He would movie it and he could be like, “Simply maintain placing extra, put extra. It’s so humorous while you put eight scoops of protein,” after which it could find yourself tasting identical to chalk. It was terrible. However I do like smoothies, it’s a refreshing, scrumptious snack.

So wait, you really drank The White Lotus protein shakes?

Generally we did, and it really labored out actually nice for when Sam [Nivola] needed to drink them as a result of his character [Lochy] was presupposed to hate them, and so they really did style like pure chalky sand. So he could be consuming it after which my character could be like “chug it, chug it, end it.” And it could simply be so gross for him. In order that that half labored out.

What does your splendid day of consuming appear like? Favourite breakfast, lunch and dinner?

My favourite breakfast is banana pancakes. I like banana pancakes, or a breakfast burrito, or each collectively, that sounds good. And a espresso, a powerful, robust chilly brew espresso. That feels like a extremely nice morning. For lunch, perhaps some Italian or sushi. For dinner I’d in all probability do a extremely huge steak and a few mashed potatoes, only a full-blown American meal and have a pleasant dessert of banana pudding or a banana cream pie.

Why companion with Brooks Working?

For me, it at all times is smart to companion with a model that simply matches organically. I obtained launched to the Brooks Glycerin Max shoe whereas we had been out in Thailand, whereas we had been operating and figuring out, and so they caught wind about that. The connection was shaped from there. It’s at all times enjoyable while you get to work with a model that you simply’re a fan of.

I like operating, I like strolling. My fiancée and I am going on a morning stroll each single morning. We go get our espresso and we go all the way in which right down to the seashore to do our little prayers and gratitude checklist down there. I like ensuring I hit 10,000 steps each day. It drives me loopy once I’m on set and so they take my Apple Watch away and I don’t know what number of steps I’ve taken. After which after they give it again and it’s at like 200 steps, I’ve to go and stroll on the treadmill or someplace exterior.

I additionally like weightlifting. I attempt to do weightlifting, power coaching and different types of exercising as nicely. I’ve executed Pilates a few occasions with my fiancée. She’ll drag me there, and I’ll giggle at how straightforward it’s till my legs are shaking as a result of we’re doing a little form of motion that I’ve by no means executed earlier than. I attempt to repeatedly change it up and transfer round.

What does “consuming nicely” imply to you?

I attempt to eat nicely within the sense of maintaining a healthy diet total. I really feel higher once I’m consuming more healthy from a bodily aspect, but in addition from a psychological aspect, and I feel that it’s so vital, particularly while you’re working and you’ve got 13- to 14-hour days, otherwise you’re working by the evening and also you’re attempting to remain targeted. I attempt to eat actually excessive in protein and decrease in sugar.
