Bill Skarsgard was in incredible shape for his starring role in Lionsgate's "The Crow" and he's revealed some of his intensive diet and workout regimen for the role.

He shot the indie action film “Boy Kills World,” in which he plays a brutal, mute fighter with some serious John Wick-esque moves, right before “The Crow,” so he had already built up a lot of muscle. He kept up the same high-protein, restricted diet and workout routine to stay in top shape for “The Crow.”

“I took Bill out to dinner. I always just ordered for him because I knew what he ate,” “The Crow” director Rupert Sanders told Variety at the New York premiere on Tuesday night. “It’s basically steak tartare and raw eggs. He was in the gym a lot. He ate very healthy and put us all to shame when we were eating hamburgers and hot dogs and working late in the Czech summer.”

Skarsgard plays Eric Draven, aka supernatural antihero The Crow, in Lionsgate’s reboot of the 1994 cult classic starring the late Brandon Lee. After Eric and his girlfriend Shelly (FKA Twigs) are brutally murdered, he is brought back to life by a mysterious crow entity to exact revenge. When Skarsgard becomes the Crow later in the film, his full muscular transformation is finally seen.
