Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård, known for roles such as vampire Eric Northman in True Blood and for winning an Emmy for Big Little Lies, revealed his intense workout and diet routine to transform his lean physique into a muscular and ripped body for the films "The Legend of Tarzan" (2016) and "The Northman" (2022). At 50 years old, the actor does weight training six times a week and consumes about 7,000 calories daily to gain muscle mass. Before focusing on weight training, he was an avid long-distance runner, running four 10 km races per week, but ended up swapping the kilometers for the gym to achieve the desired physique for the roles.
Peter Sloterdijk, one of the most influential contemporary philosophers, is the guest on the new episode of Expresso's philosophy podcast, where he reflects on the relationship between magic, technology, and war. The German philosopher argues that the mechanisms that shape the modern world are a rationalised continuation of ancient magical impulses, and explores the concept of "telemalignity" to analyse how the capacity to act at a distance defines the human experience in the age of drones, missiles, and global technologies. The conversation was recorded live in English, in Cascais.
