    Rachel McAdams mocks workout ‘wimps’

    The ‘Time Traveler’s Wife’ actress Rachel McAdams hates going to the gym and thinks fitness fanatics are “wimps”.


    Rachel McAdams thinks toned muscles “are for wimps”.

    The actress, who appears alongside Eric Bana in new movie ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’, refuses to spend hours working out as she is happy with her body the way it is.

    She said: “In the movie, after Eric comes back from time travelling, he doesn't have a stitch on. I don't think he went to the gym to get ready for those scenes. Eric comes pre-pumped. “I personally think you can have a really rich and full life with no abs. Abs are for wimps."

    Eric recently echoed his co-star’s sentiments, confessing he doesn’t enjoy exercising because he thinks gyms are for lonely people.

    He said: “Abs are for people with no friends. I don't do the ab thing. I've even had them once, actually, for a film, and they were always covered up. That was a waste of time. There's so much more to enjoy in life."

    Despite Rachel’s reluctance to work out, the 30-year-old actress – who plays Clare Abshire in the film, an artist who falls in love with Eric’s character, time traveller Henry DeTamble - has no problem stripping off for a role.

    She explained to Parade.com: “When you're playing a fictional character, it's as normal and mundane as eating breakfast. What bothers me is our culture's obsession with nudity. It shouldn't be a big deal, but it is. I think this overemphasis with nudity makes actors nervous. There's the worry about seeing one's body dissected, misrepresented, played and replayed on the internet.”
