Jonathan Majors pushed his body to its full capacity while preparing for the role of dedicated bodybuilder Killian Maddox in the upcoming movie Magazine Dreams.
“I’m 6 feet tall. I’m 202 pounds,” the Lovecraft Country alum, 33, told Variety on Saturday, January 21, after the film’s premiere at the Sundance Film Festival — which received rave reviews. “In order to sustain that and to grow that, you have to eat as much protein that you weigh. I ate 6,100 calories a day for about four months. That included the pre-work and the post-work of Creed III.”
The Da 5 Bloods actor pointed out that while “the normal bodybuilder works out two times a day,” his character is on another level. “Playing him you don’t f—k around,” he told the outlet.
Per the film’s synopsis, “Nothing deters [Killian] from his fiercely protected dream of bodybuilding superstardom, not even the doctors who warn that he’s causing permanent damage to his body with his quest.”
Majors made extreme updates to his workout and diet regimen in preparation for the role. “What ended up happening is I would train two hours, two times a day for the movie and a third time after wrap,” he explained at the festival. “Meanwhile, you eat six times a day. Lots of chicken. Lots of elk. That’s just for me. I like it.”
The Marvel star previously explained how changing his physicality connects him to the characters that he plays. (Along with Magazine Dreams, the Yale School of Drama alum will star opposite Michael B. Jordan as Damian “Dame” Andersen in Creed III.)
“They say the body is a temple. Well, if you go with the spiritual practice of acting, I believe it is,” Majors told USA Today in November 2022, explaining that “there’s so much learning to be done” while training for a

EXCLUSIVE: For his first interview on the edgy drama Magazine Dreams that makes its Sundance Premiere tonight, Jonathan Majors was pulling into Park City, after driving for days cross country from New York. While Majors is one of Hollywood’s fastest rising stars after turns in The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Lovecraft Country, The Harder They Fall and Da 5 Bloods, he was not going to drive up a small film’s limited budget with pricey airfare. Magazine Dreams is written and directed by Elijah Bynum, and produced by Jennifer Fox and Dan Gilroy, the latter of whom made Nightcrawler. Just like the unhinged photog played by Jake Gyllenhaal, Majors has gone all in physically and emotionally to transform himself into the equally extreme Killian Maddox. An aspiring amateur bodybuilder, Maddox is socially awkward and slavishly devoted to the solitary pursuit of body culture, and the drama traces how his obsession plunges him down the proverbial rabbit hole in an effort to be noticed for his physique. It is a tour de force performance that will conjure memories of De Niro’s Travis Bickle, and the work Majors put in physically is impossible to not notice. Here, Majors talks about the truths about the invisibility and stereotyping of many people, and the darkness that creates combustible conditions that often end in tragedy.
