Kiefer Sutherland's action-packed workout

Jan 19, 2010, 10:20 GMT

Kiefer Sutherland says '24' keeps him fit.

The actor doesn't work out much in his spare time, but his action-packed role as government agent Jack Bauer in the counter-terrorism drama allows him stay in good condition.

He said: "I don't think about how I look, but the work helps a lot, just staying really active. Then, with regards to just kind of working out, I like to run."

Kiefer, 43, also does all of his own stunts on set, and admits he is lucky not to have suffered a serious injury during eight high-octane series.

He said: "It's amazing that I'm still alive. Jack Bauer's taken an a*s-kicking, that's for sure.

"But you can't fake the physical side of it. If you're hanging underneath a garbage truck going 45 miles an hour, you're not going to be faking your fear. You jump off the side of a building, you're going to react the way you should.

"Some of the stunts I can still barely do, but I've loved doing them."

The eighth season of '24' started in the US on Sunday (17.01.10).
