How Ralph got ripped! Why 28 Years Later star dropped his suave, suited-and-booted image to become a rugged heartthrob at 62
It's no secret that Ralph Fiennes is one of Britain's finest exports to Hollywood, with a string of impressive acting credits under his belt. But as the 62-year-old thespian wows critics with his 'vivid' and 'scene-stealing' performance in the long-anticipated zombie thriller sequel 28 Years Later, viewers have been wowed by something other than his acting skills. While Fiennes has long held heartthrob status among swooning fans, the actor is in the best shape of his life in his 60s - as viewers are left in awe of his 'ripped' physique in the movie. The jacked-up Hollywood star first left fans open-mouthed with his incredible body in 2024 Greek epic movie The Return, in which he played Homer's Odysseus. He has since revealed how he got into shape for the role in a diet and lifestyle overhaul that involved gruelling workouts, a near-total ban on alcohol and a low carb diet - but it's hard work that has surely paid off as Fiennes sheds the suave, quintessentially British image he once bore to become a rugged and ripped Adonis. As fans around the world are left open mouthed by the star's transformation, he and his esteemed personal trainer have revealed how he's managed to overhaul his physique - and the extreme lengths he has gone to. Fiennes's fitness regime has been born out of a close relationship with personal trainer Dan Avasilcai, who is based at the Muscleworks Gym in east London. The trainer has previously revealed how he helped Fiennes get into shape while bearing in mind his age and admitting a man in his 60s must train differently to a man in his 20s. 'Their muscles, bones and joints are different. I kept Ralph's workouts strict and safe,' he told The Times in April. Fiennes revealed to the newspaper that his fitness regime saw him drop from 80kg to 73kg after maintaining a rigorous schedule of exercise which included waking up at 5.30am to hit the gym and carrying out weight sessions before doing cardio. He cut out booze and bread and didn't snack on sweets, and even dehydrated himself to enhance the definition in his muscles. 'In the script it was clear - the nakedness. In The Odyssey, he throws off his rags, so it was clear that I had to show my body,' Fiennes said of the character that prompted his transformation. 'I wanted it to be believable as a man who's fought and sailed and swum and has not eaten very much.' Speaking to GQ this month, Avasilcai revealed how Fiennes is as dedicated to his fitness regime as he is to his roles, and sticks to the plans set out. Although it was The Return that prompted Fiennes's makeover, he worked with his trainer throughout filming for Papal drama Conclave which earnt him an Oscar nomination. Avasilcai said: 'He had a really good body under the robes. He was very keen to maintain a look. He would ask me 'Can you measure my body fat levels?' And we'd do it with callipers at the gym. At times I had to force him to eat a bit more, and explain to him that it isn't healthy to stay lean for so long.' After beginning his transformation in 2023, Fiennes dropped to around five per cent body fat within a few months of observing the new plan. In 28 Years Later, Fiennes plays Dr Ian Kelson, another weary character who has survived a zombie apocalypse - meaning he must look 'strong and agile', according to his trainer. He explained a typical day in Fiennes's fitness regime would be a 5.30am start to train for an hour, with a run at around 6pm. The rest of the day would be packed with high protein meals using ingredients like salmon, eggs and chicken breast, plus protein shakes and fruit. Avasilcai explained the high protein diet was necessary to ensure Fiennes, at 62, would have the energy to train and carry out long days on set without fear of injuring himself. Fiennes has previously revealed that, contrary to some fans' comments, he was never trying to achieve a 'bulked-up gym body' and instead wanted to look like 'a bit of old rope' in playing Odysseus. Speaking to the Guardian, The Return's director Umberto Pasolini said: 'At the beginning, I have to confess, I was slightly suspicious that there was so much protein going in and so much exercise that we would have a body that looked exercised instead of a body that was consumed, a lived body.' Regardless of roles, it seems the strict fitness regime is now a way of life for Fiennes, who has forged friendships via the gym. Chi Lewis-Parry, Fiennes's 28 Years Later co-star, has revealed how he and the veteran actor bonded over lifting weights in between filming. Speaking to Variety, the 6ft 8in star said he and Fiennes were 'best buds'. He added: 'We go to the gym and work out together a lot.' And as audiences and critics alike are wowed by Fiennes in Danny Boyle's long-awaited third instalment of the apocalyptic zombie thriller, the thespian's gym sessions are clearly grabbing viewers' attention. Fans who have seen the zombie film have taken to social media to express their awe at his physique. One person wrote: 'Ralph Fiennes is ripped!!!! Ripped!' Another joked: 'I was very attracted to Ralph Fiennes in 28 Years Later when I should not have been. I am beyond repair.' However, plenty of viewers thought it was perfectly reasonable to be attracted to the 'sexy' star in his ripped state. One viewer said: 'HELLO Ralph Fiennes???' Another simply said: 'How sexy is Ralph Fiennes.' Critics have lauded the esteemed actor's performance in the thriller as 'towering' in the role of Dr Kelson - but if viewers' verdicts are to be believed, Fiennes's bulging biceps will be just as enthralling.

The best caps to smarten up your summer wardrobe, from £35
The humble baseball cap is enjoying renewed relevance in menswear of late, thanks to something of a high-fashion makeover. No longer reserved solely for hiding a bad hair day, it has become a bona fide wardrobe essential – one that is not only chic, but smart too. Caps topped off tailored ensembles and tonal smart-casual looks in Fendi's spring/summer 2025 show, and are now stocked at Gieves & Hawkes on Savile Row – in a wool-cashmere blend. 'Premium materials like cashmere, linen, suede or technical wool blends can instantly elevate a simple silhouette,' says Joshua Scacheri, design director at the tailor. 'They add texture and a sense of intention to your look.' This can also be achieved with high-street pieces; see Cos's linen cap and Massimo Dutti's suede iteration in sumptuous chocolate brown. A beige version of the latter has sold out at the time of writing – a testament to current demand. Under £100 As well as stealth styles in neutral tones, statement pieces have retained their cachet. Willy Chavarria's spring/summer show featured a tomato-red cap embroidered with the word 'América' – also the title of the collection, which refashioned workwear uniforms. Another trendy example comes from actor and men's style muse Jacob Elordi, who frequently dons a lime-green cap that reads 'Saint Natalie Wood'. The piece, from James Franco 's streetwear label Paly Hollywood, has become something of a cult item. Under £200 Clearly, bolder caps can be a worthwhile investment. While Elordi's has long sold out, there's also Lorna Murray's tweedy wool Lake Weekend cap at Wolf & Badger, or, for a blow-the-budget option, one in classic Burberry check. These can inject immediate life into otherwise neutral outfits. Over £200 There are various ways to take your cues on colour, as Scacheri explains. 'If you're wearing darker tones, consider a similarly muted cap for a sleek, tonal look,' he says. 'If your outfit features patterns, pick up an accent colour and tie the cap into that palette. For those who prefer a bolder approach, choose a cap that contrasts your outfit to create a visual highlight.' Whatever the hue, a cap will provide an invaluable shield against summer rays and prying eyes, while looking surprisingly dapper.

Amanda Holden 's lookalike daughter Lexi has followed in her famous mother's footsteps by venturing into the world of bikini modelling. The Britain's Got Talent judge, 54, took to Instagram on Monday to gush over her daughter's new photo shoot with swimwear brand Naia Beach. Lexi could be seen sporting an array of swimwear in the snaps, including a gold ruched bandeau swimsuit and a blue thick-strap bikini. Another snap showed Lexi sporting a plunging teal zip-up swimsuit as she posed during the shoot. 'So proud of our pretty little baby @ first shoot wearing @naia_beach .. enjoy the sunshine ☀️,' Amanda wrote. Lexi's shoot comes just months after her mother Amanda modelled for the brand back in April, showing off her abs in a floral two-piece. It comes after Amanda put on a leggy display as she waltzed out of the Heart FM office with no trousers on on Friday, confessing that the heat was too much to handle. The presenter looked chic in an oversized shirt and cream blazer from The Frankie Shop as she waltzed round Leicester Square. As temperatures soared to 29 degrees in the capital, the star shielded from the sun with large, square shades, and flaunted her tanned legs in a pair of strappy, open-toed heels. The mother-of-three twinned the pinstripe look with a matching tie and simple, silver jewellery. In one hand Amanda clutched a white handbag with thatched accents, and in the other she led her two dogs, the crossbreed Rudie and puppy Minnie, on a lead. On Instagram, the TV sensation mimed a phone call to joke about her lack of lower garments. She said: 'Hello? Yes, happy Friday. No, I haven't forgotten my trousers, no. 'This gorgeous jacket and this beautiful shirt is from The Frankie Shop, and to be honest with you, it's so hot I just thought, 'I'm going to pair it with a heel and I'm going to walk out the door.' 'Have a lovely weekend, babes.' Fans flooded the comment section, gushing over the sexy attire. The host often commands attention for her risqué wardrobe. On a recent getaway to Corfu, she dazzled in a series of stunning swimsuits, including a cut-out pink number and plunging peach costume.
