He’s played a CIA agent, a mountaineer, and Ted Kennedy. On the eve of his new film, Pet Sematary, we chat with Jason Clarke about car racing, wave chasing, and candy-as-fuel. BEING FROM AUSTRALIA, I love being in nature—climbing, backpacking for weeks. I used to chase adrenaline, but after having two kids, I’m not a lunatic anymore. But I still race cars. I played a getaway driver in Public Enemies in the 1990s, and got into it. I’d sneak off to the Chicagoland Speedway on the weekends.

  Surf’s Up Fitness is something I do for my physical health, but also mental. If I don’t run a few times a week, I become lazy.

I don’t make money from being shredded, so I do a lot of small workouts. I always travel with a skipping rope. And when I’m in L.A., I train with a guy named Andy Thompson, doing CrossFit work and lifting, which has helped my back and shoulders. I also do Pilates for flexibility and range of motion.

I tend to exert a lot of energy when I shoot and can lose weight easily. Recently, I was shooting in St. Petersburg, Russia, at 4:30 a.m. in minus-30-degree weather. I’d eat Snickers bars between scenes to have enough energy to deliver when it was time to go. —as told to MARJORIE KORN
