If you have followed the sport of wrestling and combat sports closely, chances are that you are already aware of who the Von Erich brothers were. Ever since the renowned Hollywood director Sean Durkin announced the release of his next project ‘Iron Claw’ a while back, fans have been anticipating the release of the movie more than ever.

Jeremy Allen White, and Zac Efron, who play the major role in the movie, had to undergo a drastic fitness transformation to gain a ton of muscle mass in order to play the role. Considering that Efron was already into fitness and lifting for a while now, it was White who had to put in extra hours in the gym to transform his physique. The Hollywood star even outlined his fears that rooted themselves due to the expectations placed on his shoulders. But how exactly did he do so? Let’s take a look. 

Jeremy Allen White gives insights into his transformation

Transforming for a movie can be much more challenging than we think it is. Gaining weight requires an individual to be in a caloric surplus. Talking along the same lines during his time at the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ Jeremy Allen revealed, “I didn’t know what I was doing. I think I just, I knew I had to eat more. And so I ate more.” Adding to this, giving insights into his workout and fitness regimen, he disclosed, “I knew I had to lift heavy things. So I lifted a lot of heavy things. And I knew these should try to stay away from like, I like to run. I like to do jump rope in my everyday life that makes me feel good.”
