“There were a couple of reasons why I wanted to do this,” Corser, 45, told Men’s Health magazine. “The first is I’m going to the States in February for pilot season.

“I’ve been a couple of times before and got really close … I looked at my physique and I thought ‘maybe that’s cutting me out of some roles’. You’ve got to be able to whip off your shirt to play some of these parts,” the Doctor Doctor star said.

“I’ve done a lot of sex scenes and I’ve always been trying to hide the body a little bit,” he said. “I’m trying to get the covers up as high as possible because I haven’t been very confident in the rig.”

The Doctor Doctor star felt self conscious with a “dad bod” during sex scenes.

He features on the cover of February’s issue of Men’s Health magazine.

Another motivation was his family.

“When you’ve got kids, you’re always bending over at weird angles. Just being stronger and more resilient in the world feels good.”

The sex symbol still had a few habits to kick to achieve his new ripped body.

“This challenge has been a wake-up call for me. I grew up in sporting clubs. You’d win a game of cricket and you’re in your whites until 10.30 at night drinking beers with the boys.

“This year I noticed my wife would go to bed at 9.30 and I’d stay up and have a couple of glasses of wine or a whisky.

“It takes a little bit of effort to knock you out of these little habits. Just enjoy a better bottle of wine with your wife once a week rather than three or four $15 bottles.”
