Henry Cavill looks incredibly sexy in The Netflix series The Witcher. We can all agree, right?

Well, during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, the 36-year-old actor shared that in order to look top-notch for several semi-nude scenes he had to curb his water intake to reduce his water weight and accent his muscle-bound physique.

The process gradually reduces his fluids, completely disallowing any water the day before and the day of filming the shirtless scenes.

“That’s the worst part of it,” Henry said. “Like, diet is difficult, and you’re hungry, but when you are dehydrating for three days, you get to the point on the last day where you can smell water nearby.”

Henry also did some last-minute push-ups just before the cameras rolled.

In doing so, he says the dehydration made his skin thin so that it “sits on the muscles,” even though the process made him the “most miserable person on the planet.”

“The training for these kind of things, the most important thing is your health so you can stay physically fit without injuries while doing all these crazy things,” he added. “… That’s what it really is for.”

Well, it’s also to make you look hot Henry! And we can just say… it definitely worked. Still, don’t try this at home kids.
