Thor's little brother, who starred in 2016's Independence Day: Resurgence and 2019's Isn't It Romantic, among other things, can deadlift more than 500 pounds. That's thanks to brutal sessions he puts in with California-based celebrity trainer Jason Walsh. Sessions can take up to 60 minutes, and they almost always have a total-body component.
