Aaron Taylor-Johnson reveals he didn't drink alcohol for TWO YEARS while filming Kraven the Hunter in order to obtain his very ripped physique

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has revealed that he didn't drink alcohol for two years while filming new movie Kraven the Hunter.

The actor, 34, plays lead role Kraven in the new Marvel film which is the latest instalment of Spiderman's Spider-verse that will follow the superhero's arch nemesis.

But in order to obtain the rippling physique he proudly shows off in the film Aaron had to follow a very strict training regime and diet plan.

He said during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night: 'There was six months of training for this and a lot of special dietary plans. I had a great trainer. 

'It was pretty strict diet, I couldn't have any of the good stuff - pizza, pasta, zero alcohol for two years while I made this movie. 

'I did not have a drop of alcohol for two years when I made this. After filming was done it was beautiful I had a whole pizza all to myself and had a lovely draft pulled beer and it was ice cold and it was the best thing I ever tasted. 

'Soon after I looked like a balloon as my stomach wasn't used to it!'

Aaron looked handsome as ever in a leather biker jacket as he stepped out in LA on Monday to head to the talk show.

He layered his stylish jacket over a black, woolen, v-neck jumper.

He finished his look with a pair of black bootcut jeans and a leather belt which featured a thick gold buckle. 

To accessorise, Aaron kept it simple with black leather Chelsea boots and a myriad of gold chains around his neck. 

Aaron looked dapper as he cut a smouldering look while walking past security into the building.

Aaron showed off his rippling muscles as he joined Russell Crowe in a first look at action-packed new film Kraven The Hunter which was released last Monday.

Aaron plays Kraven and the Marvel film is the latest instalment of Spiderman's Spider-verse which will follow the superhero's arch nemesis.

Aaron's character is a man whose complex relationship with his ruthless father, Nikolai Kravinoff (Russell Crowe), starts him down a path of vengeance.

The first eight minutes of the movie were released last week and show Kraven posing as a Russian felon and boarding a bus heading to prison. 

Kraven purposely enters the jail to eliminate Seymon Chorney, the leader of the Kirov gang who supplies guns to murderers around the world. 

Aaron will play the fur-wearing, big-game hunter and Russian conservationist Sergei Kravinoff who fights his enemies with primitive claws and spears.

In a recent trailer, Kraven's hunting origin story is revealed as a young Sergei is left to die by his father after being attacked by a lion. 

As he lays dying, a drop of lion blood mixes with his own, transforming his DNA and allowing him to communicate with animals.

Furious at his father, Sergei starts to hunt down villains using his animal instincts and primitive weapons, slowly making his way towards his father. 

But as he works his way through his list of enemies, he finds himself faced with a new one, the Rhino who is head telling him in the trailer: We all have a bit of animal inside us'.

The Anna Karenina star told Comic Book that he hopes that this will be just the start of an exciting story line that could lead to a Spiderman crossover film. 

The plot will show how Kraven, or Sergei Kravinoff, from his tragic origin story building to a darker, emotional storyline.

He told the publication: 'Kraven's Last Hunt' is a brilliant comic book and a great story — and amazing source material for us to go to the end of this character's life and then work our way backwards and give you the root, the seed that we plant in this story.'

He added: 'So if you come and watch this movie … There's twists and turns and the character at the end - if you're into that and it's successful - it's a character I'd love to see go toe-to-toe with some other characters out there, for sure.'

Also starring in the film are Alessandro Nivola as Kraven's antagonist The Rhino while Russell Crowe will star as the Russian aristocratic father of Kraven/Sergei Kravinoff.

Oscar winner Ariana DeBose plays Kraven's love interest, Voodoo Priestess Calypso, who creates an herbal potion which lengthens Kraven's life and gives him the strength, speed, and senses to match a jungle cat.

Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott will take on the villainous role of The Foreigner and The Pale Blue Eye star Fred Hechinger as Kraven's half-brother Dmitri Smerdyakov/Chameleon.

His work on the new film comes amid speculation that the Bullet train actor will be taking on the role of James Bond - last played by Daniel Craig. 

Aaron recently tackled the rumours and said he wanted to work on the projects in front of him. 

He told Esquire: 'I have to go by the beat of my own drum. It’s my own path, what feels intuitive to me.

'I’ve never made a decision based on other people’s perspectives, or their judgments, or their expectations. 

'You lose your f**king mind if you do that. Your sense of worth and soul is gone.

'You need to understand what is integral to you and what feels right, and you’ve got to stay on track with what’s present in front of you. Kraven is what’s in front of me.'

'On the thought of considering James Bond as a future role, he added: 'I just focus on the things I can have in my hands right now. What’s in front of me right now.'
