Usher, Usher, Usher!
Singer, Usher is set to star in the biopic film of former heavy weight boxing champion, Sugar Ray Leonard and we finally get to see just how much work went into gearing up for the character. The singer scored the cover of Men’s Health Magazine November issue and inside he dished on his workout regimen, why he chose to take on the role, and how he plans to keep up his AMAZING body.
Lets’s get into it. Peep a few excerpts and photos from his interview below:
On Preparing For The Role:
” I train like an athlete every day, believe it or not. My second, I decided to ride to the gym, 10 miles from his home in Atlanta. So I rode there. Boxed, and Rode back home. “
On Why He Chose To Play Sugar Ray Leonard:
” My commitment to this character demands that I not ONLY physically get ready, but also become him. The hair, the personality, the manner he conducts in himself in and all that. He’s an incredible man. “
On Dancing Vs. Boxing:” Fighters and Dancers train to gain a measure of control over the outcome. If either deviates from his plan, the result is typically ugly as Leonard learned the hard way. I think we all reach a point in life where we’re not able to listen to common sense. You almost have to fall to get up sometimes. “
