How Ian Ziering Got Ripped For Sharknado 3!

We’ve all set our watches for tomorrow’s epic premiere of Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! on Syfy.

Unfamiliar with the franchise? It’s about a bunch of sharks reigning down on the globe during freak tornadoes and eating everything in their paths. We loved that Vivica A. Fox starred in Sharknado 2 and was Ian Ziering‘s former high school crush!

Now Ian (as Fin) is back battling sharks in Florida and our nation’s capital (spoiler alert: NASA gets involved). And we can’t get enough of his ridiculous physique.

Ian tells us, “It’s a lot easier to stay in shape than to get in shape. After [my stint in] Chippendale’s and the response that I’ve gotten from my wife (lucky girl!), I prefer to maintain my physique in a way that’s measured with me leading a healthy life.”

That means this White Boys We Dig is in the gym every day for at least an hour to “keep my fat to muscle ration in the right proportion.”

Ian also eats organically. “My wife and I have an organic garden, and we’re bee keepers as well.”

His supa healthy lifestyle definitely came into play with the filming of Sharknado 3. “Three this was by far the most rigorous movie of them all. There was a lot of running and stunts. I did lots of my own stunts. It’s very physical role that requires a lot of action.”

Hopefully with your shirt off!

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! premieres Wednesday, July 22 at 9 p.m. on Syfy. Look for cameos from Rick Fox, Lorenzo Lamas and Telemundo’s Jorge Bernal.
