Promoting the second season of Kingdom, which stars Nick Jonas and Jonathan Tucker, Frank Grillo stars in a Details feature. Photographed by Ian Maddox, Grillo hits the gym to showcase his boxer’s workout. Discussing how he got into fitness, Grillo, who appears in the upcoming Captain America: Civil War, shares, “I always wanted to act, but the physical roles came later, after I did Warrior with Tom Hardy. I realized that if I kept myself in fighting shape, there was a niche for a guy like me. When I did The Grey with Liam Neeson, he had already done Taken, and I tried to follow his path—films that require both good acting and physicality.”
Talking about how he got into excellent shape for Kingdom, Grillo explains, “There’s no better workout than boxing. Short, fast bursts of energy, constant acceleration. You’re burning deep, deep fat cells and using everything you store. There’s never an excuse to miss a workout. I play an MMA coach on [DirecTV’s] Kingdom, so I work in a gym! And even if I’m not in the gym, I can do a 45-minute routine with dumbbells, a jump rope, and shadowboxing that burns a ton of calories.” Read more on Details.com.
