For a guy whose played Khal Drogo himself, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Jason Momoa's in legendary shape, thanks to hard-spent time in the gym and a strict diet, we'd assume. But the 41-year-old recently sat down with Mens Health during the latest installment of Vs. The Internet to reveal, once and for all, his secret to keeping fit: lots of pizza. (No, really.)

Momoa shared that he had to put on some serious weight to portray his Game of Thrones character, saying he was actually too small to fit the character description at the time. Thankfully, plenty of pizza and steak came to the rescue. Pair the heavy eating with some heavy weight lifting and he says thats how you get jacked.

Some guys are like genetically ripped and have abs and I dont, he said. I generally dont have a six-pack, which has been my nemesis forever. Ive always got a solid four-pack, maybe even a two-pack, and thats all about diet which is challenging for me.

Since eating healthy is a struggle, when hes not busy with work, you can catch the native Hawaiian actor doing some hard-core rock climbing to stay in shape. It may be difficult to carry his body weight as such a big guy (and the experience comes with plenty of pulled tendons), but Momoa says its a hobby hes loved his entire life. Because his body seems to be thriving because of it, one fan assumes he trains only for himself and doesnt need much preparation for moviesbut thats only half true.

I found it better for myself to train for things that I love. For instance, rock climbing has always helped me and inspired me. But for Dune, there was a lot of fight choreography, so generally I worked with my stunt team, learning to do different fights and a lot of cardio.

While Momoa's a bonafide A-lister now, he says he hit rock bottom in his career he when auditioned for a 2004 flick, Johnson Family Vacation, starring Solange Knowles. "I thought it would be funny at the time to go and hit on Beyonc's sister," he said. "I was so embarrassed for myself that I left the audition and I was going like, 'I quit,' and then I got the role. If it wasn't for Johnson Family Vacation, I wouldn't be here today because I would've given up."

Another day, another reason to be thankful for Beyonc.
