Summary
Radcliffe isn’t a big guy. Any extra weight will show up quick, and he takes care not to let that happen. He was ripped for Equus, complete with 6-pack abs. And he ate next to nothing to play a lost adventurer in Jungle and dropped 14 lbs. off her already lean frame. When he’s not prepping for a role, he still eats a low GI diet, meaning lots of veggies, fresh fruit, lean meat and dairy products and takes a pass on the junk food and soda. He also limits empty carbs like bread and pizza. He has spoken openly about his struggles with alcoholism. He drinks plenty of water to stay hydrated and keep everything moving through.
