LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Eric Bana may spend much of romantic drama "The Time Traveler's Wife" in the nude, but the star told Access Hollywood he didn't stress about working out for the role.
"Abs are for people with no friends," he said. "I don't do the ab thing. I've even had them once, actually, for a film, and they were always covered up. I just said to myself, 'Well, I'll just never do that again.' That was a waste of time. There's so much more to enjoy in life."

One thing the star's been enjoying lately is winning big at the box office. He earned the No. 1 movie this weekend alongside Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen in Judd Apatow comedy "Funny People," and also stars as the villainous Nero in one of the summer's most successful films, "Star Trek."
"It's been a lot of fun," Eric said. "They were pretty well spread out when we were actually making them and are all three completely different movies and types of characters."

For "The Time Traveler's Wife," which is due in theaters on August 14, that type was an emotional one.
"The movie's very romantic," Eric said. "Henry's just a guy who's in love and I think that's a masculine thing."
And while the leading man may not show off a six-pack in the film, fans will see plenty of him thanks to the film's sci-fi elements.

"We had a time traveling expert on the set who said that for a fact if [Henry] were to time travel he would be naked," Eric said. "We just had to take his word for it."

Iceman77eryk83, abs cannot make an ugly person hot but saying anyone who has abs has no friends is beyond stupid. Bana is obviously not a very smart man, good actor though.report abuseposted August 9, 2009 5:41 PM PDT

ErykNobody, you can slap 6-pack abs on Carrot Top and he'd still be butt ugly. Face it, spending your life in a gym in front of a mirror can only do so much.report abuseposted August 4, 2009 10:43 AM PDT

Iceman77tiHxc, obviously you can't read. He does insult people, he says abs are for people with no friends, that is a huge insult to anyone who has abs because he implies they are losers. Learn to read little girl.report abuseposted August 3, 2009 1:14 PM PDT

DigglerI'm so with him on the abs thing. Being in shape is good, but being obsessed with it is a turn off. Besides, women are not into vain guys who look at themselves in the mirror all day and worry about boring things like body fat percentage or hair products.report abuseposted August 3, 2009 7:05 AM PDT
