Bradley Cooper's incredible physical transformation for the film
American Sniper stars Bradley Cooper as muscular sniper Chris Kyle, a soldier and star-studded hero of the US Army, brutally murdered in 2013. A role that required a serious physical transformation for the actor, who had to take 18 kilos in ten weeks by eating 6,000 calories per day! “I had to get to a point where I had to feel like I was him. At 83 kilos, it would have been a joke”, he told fitness magazine Men’s Health. He continues: “I trained physically from 6 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. I resumed sessions from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The rest of the time I learned my text and slept. I did that five days a week for three months. It was a highly regulated regime. A paying job, since Bradley Cooper's performance in American Sniper is critically acclaimed. He was also nominated for an Oscar for best actor in 2015.
