40 Photos From the Early Days of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Career

The actor who starred in two movies nominated at last weekend's Oscars and already has two more in post-production for 2018 recently posted a new personal best cycling time to his Instagram.

"Sometimes when you dont expect it, it happens! NEW PB," Jackman wrote, showing off a calorie-blasting 17.99-mile ride.

The X-Men actor has been big into cycling lately, sharing Instagram photos of his <a href="https://www.onepeloton.com/" id="38a4b753-f661-3bce-a376-2c0c38ea2ba6"> Peloton </a> rides (and occasionally <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BfvmKCzDB08/?hl=en&amp;taken-by=thehughjackman" id="5bd3a72f-db76-3e95-ac94-8cff928b7989"> blasting out his username </a> for his virtual classmates to find). And he's been making legitimate strides; this latest update comes just six days after the movie star's last personal best.

So again, the question is: If one of the busiest men in Hollywood can still hop on a bike at 49-years-old, why can't you? If nothing else, your heart will thank you. Getting your blood pumping for at least 30 minutes a day, five times a week is <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/health/a19537271/how-to-prevent-cardiac-arrest-tom-petty/" id="c07ef966-cf0b-3e68-af34-83cf0a6ef84f"> one of the best ways to avoid cardiac arrest </a> .

If you want to follow Jackman's path, <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a19538800/best-indoor-bike/" id="d570f119-f1a9-325e-a412-7c8511fd7f1b"> we can vouch for the immersive Peloton experience </a> . Or, if you have a treadmill handy, we definitely recommend this <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a19516367/best-cardio-routine-burn-melt-stubborn-fat-men/" id="e852c629-54f8-3fcf-a3cb-3750f16b1c68"> insane fat-blasting routine </a> .

But we also understand that unless you're a literal big-screen hero, $1,995 for an exercise bike can be steep. (Or you just straight-up don't like the treadmill. We get that, too.) In that case, here are <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a19546582/indoor-cardio-workouts-not-on-a-treadmill/" id="d40057ef-93b4-3ddd-a75c-881fcb24776d"> 6 indoor cardio workouts </a> for the especially treadmill-adverse fitness fanatic. And when you get through those, we could suggest to keep your BP where it should be.

Basically, you're out of excuses whether you're an internationally renowned movie star or an average joe. And remember, the more calories you burn, the more epic the <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/trending-news/a19546330/hugh-jackman-breakfast-burrito-cheat-meal-golden-globes/" id="220c5a51-e777-3a72-a847-3519aa5724d1"> cheat day </a> .

If Hugh Jackman Has Time For Cardio, So Do You

Don't have time for cardio? Tell that to Wolverine himself, <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a19528181/hugh-jackman-ripped-workout-wolverine/" id="298d0b6f-6306-3039-ad4a-61cae5622b61"> Hugh Jackman </a> .

If Hugh Jackman Has Time For Cardio, What the Hell Is Your Excuse?

As in most mourning periods, it's more important to get some context. Chris Evans is just a normal actor with an <a href="https://twitter.com/uugwuu/status/976807972805505026?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buzzfeed.com%2Falliehayes%2Fchris-evans-has-a-mustache-now-and-the-internet-has-feelings&amp;tfw_site=BuzzFeedCeleb" id="c0014da1-c680-32d7-ad8a-85128ad4e1b0"> unfairly above average mustache </a> outside of the Marvel Universe, and has more than demonstrated he can put on a compelling performance that doesn't involve punching bad guys in the chest. We have the proof.

<h1> Here Are 7 Chris Evans Movies You Might Not Know About </h1>

7 Movies You Didn't Know Starred Chris Evans

This dark, dirty sci-fi is probably the grittiest film Evans has had to chew on and about as far removed aesthetically from the stars and stripes as possible. Set in a dystopian future in which the entire remnants of the human race live aboard a constantly moving train, Snowpiercer gives the actor a chance to be truly moody as Curtis Everett, a revolutionary trying to travel from the impoverished back car to the wealthy head of the train.

Attempting to save the world yet again, Evans travels with a team of astronauts to a dying sun, hoping to somehow reignite the fading star. It's an existential threat much worse than Thanos snapping his fingers and perhaps one of the best sci-fi films of the 2000s. Also worth the watch just for Cillian Murphy's mane.

Oh, what a different world we could have lived in. Evans filmed this adaptation of the Vertigo comic series right before the first Captain America film. Somewhere, there's an alternate universe where the star is best known as Cpt. Jake Jenson, an awkward, bespectacled computer hacker who easily steals this less-than-good film with a killer rendition of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing."

Oh, how things change. Thanks to this genuinely delightful 2001 teen-comedy send-up, the original image most audiences had of Chris Evans for years was not the red-white-and-blue, but naked, covered in whipped cream. But if Not Another Teen Movie proved anything, it's that Evans has actual comedic chops, and his post-Marvel slate could easily be funny as hell.

Evans plays Ryan, who receives a random phone call from a woman who has been kidnapped (by Jason Statham, no less). It's a simple plot for what turns into a genuinely fun thriller, once again carried Captain America-like on the shoulders of its leading man.

Not quite a comic book movie, 2009's Push nevertheless follows a group of young mutants on the run from a corrupt government (shut-up, they're not the X-Men). Watching Chris Evans move stuff with his mind is kind of fun, as is his older bro dynamic with young co-star Dakota Fanning.

This 2004 high-school heist film also doubles as the first time Evans would co-star across Scarlett Johansson. So if you're really jonesing for more Marvel content, it's very easy to pretend this movie is about a young Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff teaming up to steal the answers to the SATs.

With <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a19574995/chris-evans-marvel-captain-america/" id="2aa69849-d023-36b9-a390-2ead862cb017"> rumors </a> of Chris Evans hanging up his Marvel spandex for good after Avengers: Endgame, we as a human race must band together to face these Captain America-less days ahead.

Chris Evans Movies - 7 Non-Marvel Films Starring the Captain America Actor

Following <a href="https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a19619394/john-cena-first-wife-wwe/" id="bf8a3e46-9fea-3309-a4e2-3bb65079a9b0"> a 2012 split with first wife Elizabeth Huberdeau </a> , the 40-year-old publicly swore off marriage...until proposing to girlfriend Nikki Bella in front of 75,000 people at WrestleMania 33.

The 16-time WWE Champion doesn't joke around when it comes to relationships. Like a very normal person would do, he made Bella <a href="https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/03/john-cena-on-nikki-bella-prenup-75-page-contract-to-move-in-today-show" id="000a0e8a-ebaf-3291-a46a-e688a28a0ff9"> sign a 75-page contract </a> back in 2013 before moving into his home. Since the pair's engagement, Cena has insisted that children are not in his future. We've believed him.

But don't rule out the idea of Cena's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cZ7ndjhhps" id="96946362-c58c-3fca-a242-0cdb78c53ffa"> trumpets </a> someday blaring for his offspring just yet, because he might be changing his tune once again.

"If anything, it's made me consider [fatherhood] even more," Cena <a href="http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/blockers-the-movie-that-made-john-cena-more-attracted-to-parenthood/news-story/a94d01f5d17e1e405c2f4263f5fc87e1" id="5f448ae9-3994-3830-abb1-19671fb0965e"> recently told the Herald Sun </a> . He's referring to his latest film, Blockers, in which he stars as a father trying to stop his daughter from losing her virginity on prom night.

"I have a very busy schedule and I have been pretty adamant that kids aren't in my future," the grappler-turned-actor continued, "but I love this movie and I really do love the bond between each of the parents, and each of the children."

It's a topic that Cena has been addressing often while making the rounds for Blockers. The Kyle &amp; Jackie O Show <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5566851/John-Cena-admits-hes-changed-tune-fatherhood.html" id="93438dfb-c998-38f9-a970-53775915657d"> pressed the star </a> on fatherhood pretty hard, getting Cena to admit, "I am very open to certainly explore the process, whereas before it was like 'Never, not a chance.'"

Should Cena decide to make the leap from body slams to baby diapers, he would not be alone. Hollywood is filled with guys who became fathers for the first time after 40.

Brad Pitt first became a father at 43, when he adopted then-wife Angelina Jolie's children Maddox and Zahara in 2006. The Fight Club star became a biological father that same year, when the couple welcomed Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, and then again two years later when Jolie gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne.

7 Celebrities Who Became Fathers After Turning 40

The three-time Oscar nominee had his first son with film producer Shauna Robertson at the age of 43. In 2014, Norton produced the Netflix documentary My Own Man, which chronicles filmmaker David Sampliner's experience of becoming a father after turning 40.

The Spanish actor known for playing the creepy villain in No Country For Old Men had his first child with wife Penelope Cruz in 2011, at the age of 41. "You feel like you know shit, and you discover everything again, through his eyes," Bardem <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/javier-bardem-gq-october-2012-interview" id="20911b8f-a811-370a-aaff-6515a137a8b7"> told GQ </a> about being a father.

Shawn Carter was 42 when Beyonc gave birth to Blue Ivy in 2012. Jay Z's own father, Adnis Reeves, abandoned the future star when he was only 11. As a result, Jay Z had complicated feelings about becoming a father. "I don't think any person or male goes into a relationship thinking they aren't going to be there," he <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/jay-z-gq-men-of-the-year-issue" id="ef4c523a-76f9-37a3-a145-bcc1e49f74de"> told GQ </a> . "You just never know."

In 2011, Wilson's then-girlfriend Jade Duell gave birth to a son, Robert Ford Wilson. The Wes Anderson mainstay was 41 at the time. "He's not, I wouldn't say, a great conversationalist at this point, but he kind of doesn't have to be, he's so cute," <a href="http://people.com/celebrity/owen-wilson-calls-his-newborn-son-a-little-scene-stealer/" id="190e69f3-ee85-3f62-aadf-80293c2afedb"> Wilson said of Robert Ford </a> , who was named for his father, adding that "he becomes sort of a little scene stealer when he comes in the room."

Wilson's Wedding Crashers co-star was also north of 40 when he became a father for the first time. Vaughn has two children with wife Kyla Weber. The first, Locklyn Kyla Vaughn, came in 2010, when the actor was 40. "All kids bring their own joy, it's a lot of fun," <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/425666/the-intern-s-vince-vaughn-talks-fatherhood-owen-wilson-and-i-swap-pictures-of-our-kids" id="4b87ea5e-013f-35b0-a8da-bf3def86a14d"> he said </a> while promoting The Internship, in which Wilson also stars. "There's nothing more fun than laughing and playing around with the kids."

The Sugar Ray frontman became a father two times over in 2010 when wife Carin Kingsland gave birth to twins, Lydon Edward and Hartley Grace. McGrath was 42 at the time. "My fiance Carin and I tried for about a year and half to have a baby and when the old conventional way didnt work out (not without Herculean efforts!) we tried [in vitro fertilization] and got pregnant on the first try - hence the twins," <a href="http://celebritybabies.people.com/2010/09/22/mark-mcgraths-blog-meet-me-and-my-twins/" id="7c6d2caa-9f64-3526-aeaa-de1925b8183d"> he wrote </a> after becoming a father, calling the experience "surreal."

John Cena-pro wrestler, wish granter, defender of the Universe-has always had what you might generously call a unique approach to romance.
