Perpetual dance machine Euan Doidge is in the enviable position of being able to chow down on whatever he wants and as much as he wants to fuel his constant disco inferno.

Perpetual dance machine Euan Doidge is in the enviable position of being able to chow down on whatever he wants and as much as he wants to fuel his constant disco inferno.

Performing eight shows a week in the latest Sydney stage production, Saturday Night Fever, means the 25-year-old is always stepping up a storm and, if anything, he needs to be careful not to lose weight.

“For me it is about fuel and eating as much food as I can,” Doidge told The Saturday Telegraph.

“I love my carbs and need them to get through the day. I am at a point where I can pretty much eat as much as I want to. There is so much cardio in the show that outside of that I don’t do any cardio because I don’t like to lose weight.

“I don’t really eat salads or anything like that. I would eat like five of them each meal if that was what I was having.”

Doidge plays the lead role of Tony Manero in the stage spectacular currently playing at The Star’s Lyric Theatre.
