300 Movie Star Sullivan Stapleton is on Men's Health cover

In the new 300 film, Sullivan Stapleton and his warrior band use swords, grit, and epic musculature to fight off invaders. If you're battling a flab incursion, take his experience to heart.

"I never believed I'd have a six-pack, especially not at 35 years old," says Sullivan Stapleton, star of 300: Rise of an Empire. "I always thought it was a genetic blessing. It's not. You just have to be willing to do what it takes."

Even if you haven't heard of the relatively unknown Stapleton, you're almost certainly familiar with the film 300. This 2007 blockbuster made even the fittest men look down at their midsections in disappointment. It's also the movie that turned another relatively unknown actor, Gerard Butler, into a bona fide box office stud. If the April 2014 Men's Health cover guy's transformation into a Spartan warrior is any indication of what he's willing to do for success, then he's got little to worry about when it comes to making it huge in Hollywood.
