Adrien Brody reveals 'Predators' sex ban

Adrien Brody has revealed that he stopped having sex when he trained for his part in Predators.

The actor told ShortList that he went on a strict diet and exercise regime for six days a week to get in shape for the action role.

Brody said: "Very heavy weights and high-rep circuit training was the key along with hundreds of push-ups a day. I was eating the right things obsessively, six-plus meals a day.

"Very lean protein-based foods, complex carbs, no sugar, no sex, no nothing."

Asked why he gave up having sex, Brody explained: "If you look at fighters and people that are training for something that requires that level of intensity - I mean I was doing everything in my power to harness ferocity.

"I felt I needed to keep away from all distractions and all the things that erm... drain you, if you know what I mean."
