Daniel Craig
The most bad-ass 00-agent since Sean Connery, spent months with a personal trainer turning himself into a 007 killing machine by working out five days a week, eating almost exclusively healthy food, and having a personal trainer and dietitian to keep him in line.
Jared Leto
The 44 year old “30 Seconds to Mars” frontman has been in the same aesthetic shape since his 20s. How does he do it? Leto put it down to two main factors in his interview with Rolling Stone. “Twenty solid years of eating vegetarian/vegan and taking care of myself,” Leto told the magazine. “It’s probably just down to sleep and diet.”
Terry Crews
The 48 year old former NFL player and “Old Spice” pitchman keeps his aesthetic condition year round. The actor told bodybuilding.com “I always stay about two weeks out from being able take my shirt off. There’s no off-season for me. I don’t like this whole bulking up and getting down thing. You should be ready to look good all the time.”
Dwayne “The Rock’ Johnson
The actor has perhaps the strictest workout regimen in all of Hollywood.
“I start working out pretty early, around 4 a.m. When I’m filming, I do cardio and I lift before going to set. I train about six days a week, and even when I’m not filming I get up between 3 and 5 a.m. just to train. I love training when the sun is coming up because it allows me to put on my headphones and step off the crazy treadmill that is everyone’s life.”

The Oscar winner at 61 is the oldest member of this list who sports impressive arms as he gets ready to play Commissioner Gordon in the upcoming solo “Batman” film.
Hugh Jackman

The “Magic Mike” star & fitness book author is just three months shy of turning 40. However, we are confident Joe will be his most aesthetic when he faces off against Ben Aflleck’s Batman as Deathstroke and set the new gold standard for aesthetic physiques over 40 in Hollywood.
