Robert Pattinson's lax gymming stops him from doing 'shirtless acting'

London, Mar 15 (ANI): Robert Pattinson has said that since he no longer does intense gym workouts, he won't do 'shirtless acting'.

The 25-year-old actor had earlier admitted to relying on protein shakes and intense gym workouts before doing topless scenes.

"I'd have to make a lifestyle change if I wanted to do shirtless acting," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

"It seems like every single actor in the world is doing a Taylor Lautner scene. It's crazy. They have a scene where they walk out with a 12-pack. It's like, 'Really? You're playing a normal guy. That doesn't make any sense'," he said.

Although he does admit that as a performer he can't let himself go completely.

"That's a prerequisite of being an actor. Or you can get fat!" he added. (ANI)
