In order to earn his stripes, the 46-year-old completed a 161kg squat, followed by a 106kg bench press then lastly a 189kg deadlift. All in all, totalling around 453 kilograms of weight.

The father-of-two took to Instagram to celebrate his success by posting a video of the final deadlift, which he made out to be a breeze.

“If the bar aint bending, then you’re just pretending,” has been known to be the star’s weight-lifting motto and it seems to have served him well.

After all the sweat and tears, the Hollywood heartthrob was awarded a t-shirt in honour of his accomplishments.
