Hollywood actors Matt Damon and Ralph Fiennes have taken their fitness journeys to a whole new level. 

While their fitness regimens may differ, one thing is clear. 

Damon and Fiennes are committed to major physical transformations. 

The actors have endured grueling workouts for their respective roles in "The Odyssey" and director Uberto Pasolini’s "The Return."

‘HARRY POTTER’ STAR, 62, SHOWS OFF DRAMATIC BODY TRANSFORMATION IN SHIRTLESS PHOTOS

Fiennes proved age is only a number when it comes to fitness. 

The 62-year-old revealed how he got ripped for his latest role portraying Odysseus. 

His fitness trainer, Dan Avasilcai, explained the actor started his grueling regimen at 5:30 a.m., "six days a week to begin weight training, followed by running and, on some days, ballet," according to The Times U.K.

As Fiennes prepared for his role in the film based on Homer’s "Odyssey," he told his trainer he needed to develop the physique of a "hero in exile."

"I said I wanted to look ropey — like a piece of old rope," he explained to Avasilcai.

Fiennes began his fitness journey 2½ months before filming. His weight dropped nearly 16 pounds to 160 pounds by the first day on set. 

"At that age, injury prevention is everything," Avasilcai added. "You can’t train a 60-year-old like you would a 20-year-old. Their muscles, bones and joints are different. I kept Ralph’s workouts strict and safe. Form is everything."

"The Return" star’s intense regimen included running six days a week, ballet classes for posture once a week and daily massage therapy. 

As for his diet, Fienne’s trainer detailed that his meals were "high in protein, moderate in fats and low in carbs," with strict portions. 

While Avasilcai would often cook for the Hollywood actor, he added that he would surprise Fiennes with their favorite Italian gelato. 

There were days when Fiennes didn’t drink water the night before filming to get the "veiny look" for the shirtless scenes. 

"It’s not sustainable. In a normal routine, it’s important to hydrate properly."

Fienne’s fitness trainer produced results. The 62-year-old actor transformed his physique.

"He feels great. He has more energy, no joint pain and he’s stronger than ever. He can do 17 pull-ups, 78 press-ups in a row and he’s bench-pressing 65 kilograms (143 pounds). At 62, that is incredible."

Last week, the British actor, also known for his portrayal of Lord Voldemort in the popular film series "Harry Potter," flexed his muscles in new pictures. 

His transformation has sparked widespread praise, and many fans applauded his commitment to physical health and fitness.

Several fans reacted to his impressive photos with humorous plays on words referencing his "Harry Potter" character. One fan dubbed him "Swoldemort."

As for Damon, the 54-year-old showed no signs of slowing down when it came to his commitment to his role. 

BEN AFFLECK ROASTS MATT DAMON FOR RIPPING HIS SHIRT OFF TO SHOW FIT PHYSIQUE

Although not much has been revealed about Damon’s fitness regimen, the veteran Hollywood actor has previously worked with a trainer, Jason Walsh. 

"He loves challenges," Walsh told Men’s Health at the time. "We got to the point where we were doing 100 pull-ups two or three times a week. We’d see how many sets it takes to get 100. Once you lose some of that excess weight, pull-ups get a lot easier. He was doing 30-some pull-ups per set."

Damon’s trainer also noted which exercises they would avoid in case of a severe injury.

"Barbell back squats and heavy deadlifts from the floor — exercises that were considered indispensable for both strength and mass-building," at the time.

"You have to be smart with the type of people we work with," Walsh said. "My biggest worry was him breaking. The star of a $100 million movie? That’s a lot of pressure."

"First time Matt’s got into shape in his life, rips his shirt off," Affleck joked on "Today."

"He's like, ‘Who can I show this off too?!’ And I was like, ‘You want to just hold back a little' … There's no shirtless scene. He keeps asking when he can take off his shirt. … You’re not naked in this. It’s ‘The Odyssey.’"

Damon was filming on set in Favignana, Italy, for "The Odyssey."

In a photo, Damon showed off his abs, wearing nothing but a ragged cloth wrapped around his waist. The Hollywood actor looked rugged, sporting a gray beard with debris stuck to his body.

Shedeur Sanders has a home in the NFL after a shocking, nearly three-day wait during which he dramatically slid down the draft. 

The Cleveland Browns ended one of the most controversial NFL Draft slides in league history when they selected Sanders in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick Saturday. 

The NFL world had been locked in on the Sanders family home since Thursday night as Sanders experienced one of the most dramatic and shocking draft slides in league history. 

NFL DRAFT QUARTERBACK MISTAKES THAT SHAPED LEAGUE LANDSCAPE

"Nothing really affected me the last couple of days," Sanders told reporters Saturday. "I'm favored, I'm blessed. Besides that, it's not really anything that changed. The love of the game is still the love of the game. When you get on the field, there wasn't too much negativity being said. I know I gotta clean up some things in my game for me to be at my best, but that's what I take each offseason one at a time and fix it.

"The main thing, I'm just proving — coach (Kevin) Stefanski and (general manager Andrew) Berry — that they are right. That's it. They're right about picking me. I'm a good decision. I'm a good draft pick for them, to be able to come in there and do what I need to do."

For Sanders, considered at one point to be a contender for the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, the fall was historic. 

Top prospects like Sanders have had shocking slides in past NFL Drafts. Aaron Rodgers slipped down to the 25th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft and was passed over by the 49ers for Alex Smith.

Patrick Mahomes wasn't taken until the 10th pick in the 2017 Draft and was passed over for Mitch Trubisky by the Bears. Still, at the time, Mahomes was less of a hyped prospect than Sanders. 

SHEDEUR SANDERS' HISTORIC NFL DRAFT DRAMA IGNITED HEATED RACIAL DEBATES

Lamar Jackson fell all the way to the 32nd pick in the 2018 draft after four other quarterbacks were taken ahead of him. 

But Sanders had to wait well into the third day to hear his name called, with nearly all the event's national attention at that point squarely on him. 

Sanders also had to deal with a prank call by an imposter NFL GM in front of a Twitch livestream audience Friday night.

"Of course, I feel like it was a childish act, but everybody does childish things here and there," Sanders told reporters of the prank phone call, via Cleveland.com reporter Mary Kay Cabot.  

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski addressed the prank call at a press conference Saturday. 

"It's sad that these young men have to deal with this," Stefanski said. "It's silly, but onward and upward."

Now, Sanders is focused on doing his best job with the Browns and showing everyone the "real" him. 

"I know I'm going to fit in perfectly," Sanders said. "I feel like it's first getting in, showing respect to the vets, showing them I'm here ready to work. Show the coaches and have them understand, I'm here ready to work. So, they could actually understand the real me. That's what I'm truly thankful to have, is the opportunity for people to actually see the real me and not be able to see stuff that could be true or not."

Sanders' father and college coach, Deion Sanders, sent a message of gratitude on X after his son was picked.

"My bible says God uses the foolish things to confound the wise & he chose the weak things of the world that he may put to shame the strong," Sanders said in a post on X. "Please know God ain't done & God is just really getting started. Enjoy this lesson & stop stressing." 

God was a common theme throughout the draft experience for the entire Sanders family. Shedeur and Deion expressed thanks to God in several social media posts without any further context dozens of times since Thursday. 

Deion's other son, Deion Sanders Jr., posted a frenzy of Bible verses on his X account, and then retweeted those same posts just hours later. 

Deion has been a devout Christian throughout his football career, and his sons leaned on that throughout the weekend during Shedeur's unprecedented experience. 

However, Shedeur is also different from Deion in other ways, according to Browns general manager Andrew Berry. 

"Shedeur, he is probably a little bit opposite in terms of personality with his dad," Berry told reporters Saturday. "A little bit quieter, a little bit more introverted, but we felt good with him as a person. He works hard. He's a really good kid. He wants to be great. His teammates loved him in Colorado. And I know he'll come in ready to work and ready to put his best foot forward." 

Several reports indicated Sanders may have interviewed poorly with multiple NFL general managers throughout the draft process. However, the Browns' Berry said his team's interview was a "positive" experience. 

Berry and Stefanski suggested Sanders will compete for the team's starting quarterback position in 2025. 

"We don't care once they walk in the doors. Don't care first-round pick, seventh-round pick, undrafted. Once you're here and you're on this football team, you're a part of this culture, you're a part of this family, and we're just going to keep our heads down and go to work."
