Personal Trainer

For the 2013 action-packed film Olympus Has Fallen, he played the secret service agent, Mike Banning. He did most of the stunts in the movie (He could have done all, but the insurance company won’t allow him).

Also, when Gerard has to play the role of a surfer like in Chasing Mavericks (2012), he makes his workout light to look like an actual surfer. He reduces weight lifting, and instead increases cardio, starts yoga and cleanses.
