True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten is the wet t-shirt cover boy for the November issue of Men’s Health. In the interview, Australian hottie Kwanten, 33, brags that he’s showed up to triathlons drunk and done “very well.” Sometimes I exercise hung over and I invariably feel like crap so I can’t imagine running, biking and swimming for a few hours in that condition. The worst I’ve done is try and get through an hour spinning class after a hard night out and not try to fake like I’m doing the work. I still end up faking it.
True Blood star Ryan Kwanten isn’t shirtless on the cover of the new issue of Men’s Health, but he does wear a wet T-shirt. In the interview he shares his thoughts on working out, something he does every day, sometimes for as long as 2.5 hours.
He has an unusual drinking habit: He’ll toss back a few, start to feel bold and then sign up for an organized athletic competition: “I’ve been known to turn up drunk at triathlons and do very well.”
On his ability to bounce back: “I have that sporting background where I want to be the best, I want to be the champion. If I’m knocked down, you’re damn sure I’m getting back up again. A lot of actors who may very well be more talented than me don’t have that kind of tenacity in the face of rejection. That resilience gives me a distinct advantage.”
On working out: “I’m not one of those actors who gets physically fit for a role and then loses it all again. I’m very rarely in the gym. My workouts are predominantly outside, in nature.”
On yoga: “I used to laugh at anyone suggesting it. Guys fear not being the best in these classes, but over time, you learn how to spend an hour not worrying about what anyone else is thinking. For guys especially, that’s a good thing.”

See I can’t relate to that nature exercise thing either and prefer to go to the gym where other people are around and I don’t have to worry about making my way back to civilization after pushing my body to the limits. Plus I feel like an ass when I run outside, but that’s just me and my issues. I guess I don’t have the fortitude to do triathlons wasted and run on outdoor trails for hours.
Men’s Health has an earlier article with Ryan where he gives fitness tips. The guy pretty much works out all day. No wonder he can drink so much and still stay ripped. The hot bastard.
