Sacha looked amazing as he flaunted his toned arms and chiselled abs while posing shirtless for the cover of a fitness magazine.

The actor told the publication that he asked Matthew McConaughey for the number of celebrity trainer Alfonso Moretti, who has a reputation for changing bodies under pressure.
