Kellan Lutz shows off his abs-olutely amazing body

Taking on the role of Hercules required far more than just acting skills.

And Kellan Lutz certainly got physical to play the Greek god, packing on 20lbs of muscle for the film, according to reports.

In a first look at him in character for Hercules 3D, the Twilight star shows off extremely impressive chiselled abs.

This film, which will be directed by Brett Ratner, is set to be released just a few months later in July 2014.
