The Reason Behind Chad Michael Murray’s Commitment to His Ab Routine

Chad Michael Murray keeps his abs in shape for an excellent reason.

Murray, who is 43, shared insights about his core training during an interview with Interview Magazine on December 11. When queried about his secret for maintaining a defined six-pack, the actor playfully responded, “I’m going to say having a beautiful wife, wanting to keep her happy.”

Murray noted that while his wife, Sarah Roemer, isn’t the type to pressure him into achieving a six-pack, he still desires “to look good for the missus.”

In addition to wanting to keep Roemer, 40, satisfied, Murray also stays dedicated to his fitness regime for his own benefits. “I like to maintain a certain level of fitness at all times, just in case an opportunity like this comes my way,” he mentioned, alluding to his latest film, Merry Gentlemen, where he portrays a male dancer. “It’s a lifestyle.”

After the premiere of Merry Gentlemen, fans (and let’s face it, Us) flocked to X to express their admiration for the actor’s chiseled physique.

“I don’t mind seeing Chad Michael Murray’s abs 😋,” said one social media user. Another chimed in, “He’s aging like fine wine!” while others expressed their admiration with a chef’s kiss emoji.

In addition to his enticing film role, Murray also featured in a shirtless Netflix calendar that was released last month. The whimsical images showed a bare-chested Murray decorating Christmas trees, basting a turkey, dressed as an Easter Bunny, and many more fun scenarios tailored to each month.

If you ask Us, September showcases Murray at his most attractive. In the fall-themed photoshoot, he donned partially untied football pants while clutching a football and helmet, casting a dramatic gaze into the distance with eye black on one cheek.

Diving into his birth month, August, Murray was seen holding a funfetti cake and playfully biting a party noisemaker, shrugging at the camera with an enticing smirk.
