After the Brazil premiere, the entire cast of He-Man and The Masters of the Universe arrived in London for its UK premiere. During media interactions on the red carpet, the lead actor Nicholas Galitzine opened up about the intense physical transformation he went through to play Prince Adam, aka He-Man, in the live-action fantasy epic. He spoke about the demanding training and preparation that went into bringing one of the most iconic superheroes to life on screen.

One of the highlights of his training regime was lifting heavy weights; when asked about it, the actor responded, “So I remember at first we were accumulating the total kilograms that I had lifted throughout the week. One week’s worth of weightlifting was 100,000 kg.” Reflecting on the total weight he lifted during the training period, he jokingly added, “So if you want to multiply however many weeks there are in five months, I’d say that’s a few elephants.” 
  
The actor revealed that the intensity of his preparation became so extreme that the team closely monitored how much weight he was lifting each week. His rigorous training included months of weightlifting, cardio, stunt work, and action choreography to prepare for the live-action adaptation set in the world of Eternia.
