2. Who is he?

3. Butler is the actor that played King Leonidas, King of Sparta, in the movie 300. He normally looks like this.

4. Were his abs real, or were they (as many suspect) CGI enhanced?
To get in shape for the role of King Leonidas, Butler worked out crazy for four months. He had help from a world class mountaineer and a Venezuelan body builder.

5. What did he do to get that ripped warrior physique?
Butler undertook a specially designed "300-rep Spartan workout." (Trust me, 100 reps is plenty hard.)

7. His “300” workout 25 pullups 50 deadlifts with 135 pounds 50 pushups
50 jumps on a 24-inch box
50 floor wipers
50 single-arm clean-and-presses using a 36-pound kettle bell
25 more pullups

10. At the end of the sweat-till -you -are -dead routine, you end up looking like a comic book super hero with fantastic chiselled abs and superhuman physique.

15. Why did he need to be so “ripped”?
The Spartans had the highest standards of perfection of the body. They are still considered the fittest nation in history! Here is a bust of the real dude!
