An actor has to make many accommodations and adjustments to adapt to a role in a movie. Johnson played the role of Hercules in his 2014 movie also named Hercules. As you know Hercules is a Greek God, therefore, to look like one, the Hollywood actor had to make even more altercations to his already strict diet plan.

For 172 days, he had not only a strict but clean and intense diet comprising of 7 meals a day for the movie role. After such a rigid meal plan, he allowed himself to enjoy a big cheat meal to compensate for the days he missed his favorite cheat meals while filming the movie.
