Diet Details

Carb King

Bettany’s idea of a good meal involves carbs. But things like bread, pasta, and alcohol are anathema to 6-pack abs and so he cuts back as needed for his various roles.

Needs Must

Bettany is a carb-lover at heart, but he has discipline and does what he needs to do to look the part. If that means chicken breast and veggies, so be it. Or if it’s to play a paunchy scientist, he’s willing to stuff his face, all for the sake of his art.

Euro-Centric Diet

Bettany jokes that he is ‘genetically designed’ to sit on a veranda and be served alcoholic beverages, cheese, and bread.
