Kellan Lutz in a promo still from The Legend of Hercules
Brawny men may grease themselves up to look more ripped, but who would have thought that Hercules himself would need a little lubing up?
Speaking to Cover Media, Kellan Lutz says he had to resort to rubbing “tons of Bio-Oil” on his inner thighs because of all the cough, chafing, he had to endure while riding a horse for a scene in the movie about the mythical Greek warrior.
The pertinent quote: “I was pretty confident of being able to ride a horse but I wasn’t prepared for some technical aspects … I wound up with a very sore ass and inner thighs and massive saddle sores. I had to apply tons of Bio-Oil to heal the sores as fast as possible or I would have been in massive agony for the entire filming.”
