(upbeat music) (hand knocking)
- [Interviewer] Hey Rob, it's Men's Health.
- Okay, dad, there's some cameras here.
- Oh, it's Men's Health.
I told you they were coming.
They're gonna look at our gym and fridge.
- Alright. - I told you they were
coming today.
- Yes, yes, yes.
(upbeat music continues)
- Come on in.
(quirky music continues)
(intense music)
Let's go to the kitchen, guys.
And this is the fridge.
So this is it. This is the stash.
This is what makes the railroad run on time.
- [Interviewer] What do you always have in your fridge?
- Well, for me, oat milk always goes
with smoothies, goes with coffee.
We like the Atkins protein shakes.
- These are sick.
Dreamy Chocolate, that's my go-to.
- What else?
Kombucha is a good little gut health snack.
It's kind of like a cheat soda for me.
- And then of course, the best Tart Cherry Juice.
- Yeah. - After workout.
I'll hit it with some sparkling, eh, sparkling water.
- What's that noise?
(glass clattering) - It's heavy.
- Okay.
- Super heavy
- [John] Moving on, vegetables. Classic, but tasty.
- My favorite.
Le bacon!
- Super healthy.
- [Interviewer] Does your diet change for different roles?
- Yeah. No, for sure.
I mean, it's usually just about getting in shape
or getting not in shape.
I haven't done the like Brendan Frazier whale thing
and guess what?
I wouldn't. I'd wear a fat suit.
- He's too vain.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever received any diet tips
from any of your co-stars?
- Mike Myers taught me about this
when he lost all this weight for Austin Powers
by only eating bacon.
And on his fridge he had a picture of bacon.
- That sounds like a lie.
- It's a true story.
- [John] I feel like Chris Farley gave you
a diet tip one time.
- Oh, he did. - Yeah.
- I know all his stories.
- Heard them a lot?
- Too many times. - Okay.
Chris Farley and I went to a Steak place once.
He ordered two porterhouse steaks, two of them.
And on top of every bite he put a cube of butter.
And when I was grossed out by it,
I was like, "What are you doing?"
He says "Hmm, (sniffles) it needs a hat." (gulps)
- [Interviewer] What have you learned
from your dad about eating healthy?
- Less sugar is better.
Even though he doesn't stick to that too much.
- I try. - You try.
Mostly it's just a mindset.
I feel like he's been serious about his health
since I can remember.
And so he has helped me be serious about mine.
Sometimes he'll poke my chest and tell me to engage my core.
- Engage your core. - Yeah. Yeah.
- Man though, I'm gonna be real with you.
There wasn't much to grab there.
- Right? - Yeah.
- [Interviewer] You've been sober for over 30 years.
Do you make any non-alcoholic drinks?
- Yeah, I'm always in the mood
for something that I can drink
when everybody else is having some fun.
That's part of the fun of it is finding your own concoction.
My new one is grape juice, a sparkling water
and a little bit of lime.
But I'm a big non-alcoholic beer guy.
- [Interviewer] What does your diet mainly consist of?
- I like to keep things simple. I like simple foods.
I don't like fancy foods. I don't like sauces.
I love just a simply done steak,
a simple grilled chicken,
like a really, light clean salad.
And I'm also creature of habit.
So I'll like, recycle fish tacos, like carnitas, a steak.
And again, my big battle is trying to minimize the sugar.
- Yeah. Fish, meats, brown rice.
I love a good like, pokey bowl.
- Are you a kind of like bulk eater throughout the day
or you intermittent fast sometimes, don't you?
- No, I'm a little snacks throughout the day.
Like five little meals rather than three big meals.
And then I usually don't eat anything until lunch.
- [Interviewer] What would we never see in your fridge?
(Rob sharply exhales)
- Personally, I don't like that we have cow's milk.
- No, I'm a big real milk person.
- I know. - It's my Midwestern
upbringing.
A good cold glass of milk.
I'm not gonna lie.
- Fair enough.
- With the right thing is pretty sick.
- What would we never have in here though, ever?
For me it's probably olives.
- Oh, come on. Olives are good.
- Olives are gross.
- Certain kinds of olives are for sure gross.
- Olives filled with bleu cheese is like-
- Ew! - My mortal enemy.
- It's disgusting.
- Yeah. The grossest thing on the planet.
- [Interviewer] What's your go-to burger order?
- Easy. Really simple.
Cheeseburger, raw onion, lettuce, tomato mustard,
avocado if you got it.
- Lately I've been hitting the protein style at In-N-Out
and if you go mustard fried, it's really good.
- [Interviewer] What do you grab
from your fridge at 2:00 AM?
- Oh. - Oh. I did it.
I did it last night.
(plastic crinkling)
String cheese and turkey.
- Overnight oats if we have 'em, if we're not out.
- Great granola with Greek yogurt.
And I'm not a raspberry person.
The little hairs on 'em. Ugh! - I like those.
I like the berries. - Ugh, the hairs.
- Okay, enough of that.
These chips are really good.
- Blueberries. - Protein chips.
- Blueberries are good and strawberries.
- Are you done?
- Yeah. - These wild protein chips.
They're just basically protein. They're super healthy.
My brother turned me onto them.
- [Interviewer] Where do you work out?
- We live in California.
Pay a lot of taxes for this weather.
So we work out outside.
Come on, let's go hit it. - Grab a water.
- Alright. - Okay.
So I'm just carrying yours? Cool.
♪ Turn it up, let it blast ♪
(intense music)
- How often do you work out?
- Everyday. For my mood I've got to do it.
I've gotta get my body going, get a sweat on.
I have to really work to take a day off, actually.
- You just like to talk.
- That's my exercise routine? Talking?
- Yeah. Listening to music, yacht rock.
Talking with people that come over.
- In fact, I hate people who talk in the gym.
- What are you doing right now?
- I'm not working out right now. You are.
- [Interviewer] How has your exercise regime changed
over time?
- My regimen is if I can be out
and surf or ski, I just wanna be outside whenever I can.
- [Interviewer] How did you get into surfing?
- I didn't learn surfing until I was 40 years old
and I grew up in Malibu,
but when I grew up in Malibu if you were a teenager
and you went out there they beat the living crap out of you.
It's it became an obsession.
I'm glad I didn't pick it up earlier
in my life 'cause I would've blown
off every audition if the waves were good.
- [Interviewer] Do you surf together?
- We started surfing together.
You've kind of given it up though, right?
- With you.
- Why?
- Because you talk too much.
- Look at this.
Wait a minute.
Yeah, get those abs going. Good for you.
- Still talking.
- [Interviewer] Do you motivate each other to stay fit?
- Yeah. I like to give him a hard time
but he's good to work out with
'cause he looks okay for 50, 60.
How old are you?
- 58.
- [Interviewer] Who can bench more?
- Oh, that would be a good competition.
I have to. - Probably you.
- I have to have you on that. - Probably you.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
But if it was like a body weight competition,
I'm smoking you.
- Yeah, for sure.
- [Interviewer] What was
your most physically demanding role?
- Years ago I did a hockey movie called Young Blood.
I didn't even know how to skate.
Doing the training for that was pretty gnarly.
It was also the first time I ever had a trainer.
Hey. - Are you ever gonna work out?
- I don't need it, baby. Look at this.
Oh, wait a minute.
I mean, I need to go to the vet,
'cause these puppies are sick.
- Okay
- [Interviewer] What's your favorite workout?
- [Rob] Hmm. - Arms.
- Arms. - Chest, abs.
- Upper body in the upper body.
- Show muscles. - Show muscles.
Hey buddy. - Is that my dog?
- Come here. - Owen, yay!
- Come here. Come here. - Come here. Good boy.
- Look at this.
- A workout right here.
- Yeah, he's talk about a workout.
This guy got a workout. (Owen panting)
This is what I sound like when I get off the treadmill.
- I'm putting him back.
(grunts) Okay, buddy.
- [Interviewer] How do you keep your mind fit?
- If I stop working out like for a week
or God forbid two weeks,
I get super low grade, sluggish, depressed.
So I need to work out and then I need to sleep.
Both components together. Critical for me
- Sleep is a big one.
Treating my body kindly.
Meditating. - Good one.
- Praying and practicing selflessness.
Those are the big ones for me.
- [Interviewer] Aside from working out and surfing,
are there any other activities you do together?
- But we golf together.
That's, other than working out together,
the main thing we do together is golf for sure.
- Yeah. What did we do this year?
- Oh, my God.
We had the most incredible bucket list father, son moment.
We got to go play golf at Augusta.
That was like- - I can't even.
- I could die happily. Really, truly.
- [Interviewer] What are your fitness foals?
- My fitness goals are to not get injured
because the recovery just kills you.
And if I couldn't work out, I would lose my mind.
- To be in better shape than him.
- That will never happen.
- [Interviewer] Alright, we're almost done.
Time for rapid fire questions. Workout time.
7:00 AM or 7:00 PM?
- Oh, neither.
- Workout time for me,
7:00 PM for sure.
- [Interviewer] Squat or deadlift?
- Squat. - Squat over deadlift.
- Squat. - CrossFit. Yay or nay?
- Nay. - Absolute yay.
- Nay. - Yay!
- I feel like I'm gonna hurt myself if I do CrossFit.
- [Interviewer] Pull-ups or chin-ups?
- Pull-ups for me.
- Chin-ups.
- [Interviewer] Dumbbells or kettlebells?
- Both. - Both.
- Both. - Gotta have both.
- [Interviewer] Running the treadmill or the great outdoors?
- Outdoors, always. - Outdoors.
- [Interviewer] Cardio or weights?
- Both.
- Weights, but cardio's great too.
- [Interviewer] Big legs or big arms?
- Big arms. - Come on.
I didn't feel like I don't even need to answer that.
Look at my little chicken legs.
(Rob imitating chicken clucking)
I can say it but not you.
- [Interviewer] Biggest compliment.
Jacked, cut, ripped, or swole?
- Cut. Easy for me. Cut.
- Ripped.
- [Interviewer] If you could work out
with anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be?
- Mm, Man. That's such a good.
Well, I've worked out with Arnold.
It's one of the great thrills of all time.
And once you've worked out with Arnold Schwarzenegger
everything else is downhill.
With that said, I'm kind of interested
in whatever the hell Tom Brady's doing.
- I would want to go with like Tom Cruise.
We could get a workout in and then fly.
- I've worked out with Tom Cruise.
It's not all it's cracked up to be.
- You gotta ruin everything for me.
- Well, I think that's it for now, but thanks for coming by.
You're welcome anytime to our dojo.
