Kiefer Sutherland: ’24 Keeps me Fit’
Posted by Adam
KIEFER Sutherland says his role in 24 keeps him in shape.
The actor — who plays Jack Bauer in the hit TV show — admits if it wasn’t for his high-energy action scenes, he’d probably get fat.
“I don’t think about how I look, in all fairness, but the work helps a lot, just staying really active,” said the star. “Then with regards to just kind of working out, I like to run.”
Sutherland recently admitted he finds doing his own stunts increasingly difficult, but always gets involved with as much of the action as he can.
“It’s amazing that I’m still alive,” he said. “Jack Bauer’s taken an a*s-kicking, that’s for sure. It’s kind of in keeping with the character that he’s taken as much as he’s dished out.
“But you can’t fake the physical side of it. If you’re hanging underneath a garbage truck going 45 miles an hour, you’re not going to be faking your fear. You jump off the side of a building, you’re gonna react the way you should.
“Some of the stunts I can still barely do, but I’ve loved doing them.”
