BEN AFFLECK IN TOP SHAPE
Hunky Ben Affleck has spent four months working with a top sports coach to get into shape for his new film, The Town.
He has been doing daily cardio and strength training with Walter Norton, strength and conditioning coach for the Boston Celtics baseball team.
“He's dedicated," Norton told the Boston Herald. “He not only has set aside time to train, he gets the proper rest and maintains a proper diet.
“He does the things other people would struggle with on a daily basis, and really excels.
“I'd like to take more credit. But he's pretty strict. He's not a guy who comes up with excuses.”
In The Town, which starts shooting in Charlestown, Massachusetts, this week, Affleck, 37, plays a veteran thief targeted by the FBI.
