'Mamma Mia!' star Dominic Cooper spent six hours a day on a vibrating Power Plate machine to shape up for the film.
The 30-year-old actor - who plays Sky in the musical movie - was determined to tone up because he appears in most of the film half-naked.
He said: "I was never told I was going to be mostly naked for the part until after I agreed to it. My trainer made me stand on a vibrating plate for six hours a day to look good. It's amazing, it makes you feel ill, but it's amazing!"
Since its release in July, 'Mama Mia!' - which is based on the music of ABBA - has grossed over $320 million worldwide and has been praised by critics and film fans alike.
Dominic - who stars alongside Keira Knightley in upcoming movie 'The Duchess' - is thrilled by the movie's success and admits it was a great experience to star in a musical.
He said: "It's very exciting to be involved with such a massive film. At first, I found it very nerve-wracking to sing, but once you get going it is an incredibly liberating and wonderful experience."
