Description

Men's Health sat down with the 69-year-old Oscar-winner who has embodied some iconic characters, ahead of his latest turn starring alongside Dwayne Johnson as a jacked Santa Claus in 'Red One'. J.K. reflects on his various weight loss (and gain) journeys across the course of his career, how his physicality helps to support his roles and screen presence, and how a healthy lifestyle contributes to so much more than just looking stacked on the big screen.
