Staying fit is all in a day’s work for Mahershala Ali.
While his role in Jurassic World Rebirth required him to be in top physical form, the two-time Oscar winner explained that maintaining his mental wellness was just as important to him while making the upcoming blockbuster.
“It was really about being able to emotionally sustain this journey more than anything,” he exclusively told E! News’ Erin Lim Rhodes at the film’s premiere in New York City June 23. “I got on the bike every day, or did my little curls, my little workout, but it was really [about] sustaining the feeling of being terrorized by these things over the course of four months. That was the tough part.”
Fortunately for the 51-year-old, who attended the red carpet affair alongside costars Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend and more, the sequel’s international filming locations offered him plenty of options to help him relax when cameras weren’t rolling.
