If required for a film, John Abraham will happily turn obese

Past 40 years of age, John Abraham is still one of the fittest actors in Bollywood. He can give a tough race to the present generation actors in terms of fitness. In fact, there was a time when John’s presence in a film would add to the hotness, any time. However, this fitness freak says he would happily let go of his chiseled body if a character requires him to do so.

“I try and keep my body in the same shape 365 days of the year. For me, being fit is a way of life, not a phase in life. Unless, of course, the role requires me to go obese, which I would gladly do. I work out and eat healthy all year round,” John said.

“For the love of the role, I would love to put on weight but at some point of time. However, the way I am being cast now in a particular manner or particular role requires me to be physically fit, be it ‘Rocky Handsome’, ‘Dishoom’ or ‘Force 2’, so I am maintaining that shape. But after that, I am ready to do anything that a role demands,” he added.

Recently, a number of actors have put on weight for the sake of their characters. This includes Aamir Khan who went bulky for ‘Dangal’ and Salman Khan who put on weight for ‘Sultan’. We haven’t yet seen John doing so; filmmakers are probably too impressed with the way he is. Fit n’ fine!

However, it would be interesting to see going for a radical make-over. isn’t it?
