British actor Ralph Fiennes has changed himself dramatically during his fitness journey.
The Harry Potter star is known for his portrayal of Lord Voldemort in the popular movie series, showing his physique in shirtless photos.

The 62-year-old’s transformation has attracted widespread praise, with many fans praising his commitment to physical health and fitness.
Several fans reacted to his impressive photos, and the humorous drama responded in texts that quoted his “Harry Potter” character. One fan called him “Swoldemort”.
Another wrote: “Lord Voldemort was torn to prepare for a rematch with Harry Potter.”
Another fan commented: “Well done, I did it well.
Others wondered how he developed an impressive form in his 60s.

“If you let us know the complete program, supplement, routine and so on, it's 62-year-old in the wild, it's really cool.”
The British actor previously detailed his fitness journey in an interview with The Guardian and joined “Return” director Uberto Pasolini. “Fiennes performed five months of physical exercise to get Odysseus' muscles and tough framework,” the media reported.
“Uberto is very clear. He doesn't want me to have a heavy gym,” Phines said, adding that he told his personal trainer Don Avasilcai that his character “should look like some old rope.”
Two and a half months before Fiennes started filming, he “started the regime of weight training and running, with a diet rich in protein, complex carbohydrates and vegetables to lose nearly all of his body fat.”

The director admitted that he was worried that Fiennes' physique would not fit his role, but he seemed to have approved his fit later.
“In the beginning, I must admit that I kind of doubted that there was too much protein and exercise so much that we would have a body that looked like exercise, not a body consumed, a living body. There was no gym in ancient Greece.”
Fiens isn't the first celebrity to change his role dramatically.
