Face Forward - I wash my face with whatever I wash my body with, and I use <i>Cetaphil</i> moisturizer. People would never believe this, but I never wear makeup in my movies. I come to work and I’m the easiest person to do. I go into the makeup trailer, get a haircut and I’m off. The first movie I did, they put makeup on my face and it broke me out, so I decided, ‘I’m never wearing makeup again.’

Sparta Strong - I kind of train like an Olympian, so I’ll go hard for about four months out of the year, and then maintain for eight. My workout regimen is crazy. I do a lot of calisthenics. I started doing CrossFit this year, which is how they trained for the film “300.” You’re doing kettlebells, runs, 100 push-ups, 50 sit-ups, 200 pull-ups – and you’re doing five sets of all of that.

Columbus' Closet - I have an interesting array of things in my closet. The first thing you’ll see when you walk into my closet is over 300 pairs of &lt;i&gt;Nikes&lt;/i&gt;... I’m into the skinny jeans and &lt;i&gt;Louis Vuitton&lt;/i&gt; sneaks. The &lt;i&gt;Supras&lt;/i&gt;. The button-ups. You’ll find a lot of &lt;i&gt;Dsquared&lt;/i&gt; vests and things of that nature. But, really, my normal gear is just jeans, sneakers and a hoodie...

Winter Essentials - A pea coat for sure. You need a fly pea coat. You need the military, standard blue pea coat, a tweed pea coat, and the Dick Tracy beige pea coat. You need scarves too, so you can have that ‘Chicago, New York State of Mind’ swag.

Never Short On Style - I think I’ve juxtaposed classic and contemporary. I’d call it ‘class-temporary.’ I really do like that old Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Rat Pack style. I’m also trying to modern it up a little bit.

Ditching Diamonds - Jewelry? Nope. I just feel like it’s late. I used to be into the diamond earrings and the chains, but I took the earrings off and took the jewelry off. I just wear a watch. A Black &lt;i&gt;Minx&lt;/i&gt;, something real simple and classy.

Pressure Points - I’ll go get a massage. No happy endings! (he jokes) I have a private masseuse and she’ll come to the house or come to the set and hook it up. A massage is as far as I’ll go concerning pampering.

The Secret Cut - My beauty secret is my barber, Stacy Kuts, because she just cuts my hair phenomenally. In my opinion, she’s the best barber in the country. She cuts myself, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy and more. If it wasn’t for her, I’d be a bum. I’d let my beard grow out like I don’t care. But, you know, in our industry, we have to look presentable...
