Bill Skarsgard's Body Transformation for 'The Crow' Revealed in New Shirtless Photos, Director Tells All on His Strict Diet Plan

Bill Skarsgard is looking ripped in these new photos from the set of The Crow!

The 34-year-old actor transformed his body for his role as Eric in the 2024 remake of the classic film.

“I’d already been training for quite a while. Me and my trainer kept adding a little bit of weight onto what I’d already be, but I didn’t want to be too big either,” Bill told Variety. “It was a tricky one, because they wanted the Crow to be ripped, but the character Eric shouldn’t be. I didn’t feel like the character should be thin, but you can’t afford to split it into six months, the Raging Bull kind of way. So we did a lot of weight training and ate a lot of protein.”

Bill‘s director Rupert Sanders revealed what he was eating to stay in shape.

“I’d take Bill out to dinner. I’d always just order for him because I knew what he was eating,” Rupert told Variety. “It’s basically steak tartare and raw eggs. He was in the gym a lot. He ate very healthily and put us all to shame when we were eating burgers and hot dogs and working late at night in the Czech summer.”

Bill opened up about his big cheat meal after filming ended.

“I really loved what I was eating, so I didn’t feel like I had to cheat,” he said. “I didn’t eat sugar, but I’m not a big sweet guy. I guess my biggest cheat would be an alcoholic beer. I celebrated after the shoot.”
