Amber Heard Worked Out for Five Hours a Day to Train for 'Aquaman'

Amber Heard is on the cover of Shape magazine’s December 2018 issue.

Here’s what the 32-year-old Aquaman star had to share with the mag…

On her life and the amazing people she’s met: “I’ve had an amazing life, and I’ve had the good fortune to have some amazing people come into my life. Even the ones who were less easy or less traditional were important in making me the woman I am today. I’m very lucky for the relationships I’ve had. They have given me the muscle and heart to do what I do.”

On her makeup must-have: “I don’t always wear makeup, but when I do, I love it. The one product I can’t live without is red lipstick. Nothing is more transformative.”

On her training for Aquaman: “For Aquaman, I did six months of rigorous training. It was a lot of weight and strength training, as well as special martial arts training. By the end, I was working out for five hours a day. But when I’m not preparing for a movie, I have more freedom, and I incorporate my workout into my life so that I enjoy it and it doesn’t feel like an obligation. I like running because it’s a way for me to alleviate stress, clear my mind, and refocus. Plus, I can do it anywhere. I travel so much that it’s invaluable to me to have something that keeps me healthy and feeling good no matter where I am.”
