Do you want to look like Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau? Well, Men'sHealth chatted with the stud and brings to you his secrets to staying ripped and in shape by revealing his exercise routine.

Believe it or not, Coster-Waldau is not has "Hollywood" as you would think. The star grew up 5,000 miles away from the Los Angeles cameras in the village of Tybjerg, Denmark, home to 40 people.

According to Men'sHealth, Coster-Waldau was always an exceptional actor and even had dreams of glory to be an athlete, but ended up as an actor.

"I always wanted to be an actor, but I just never told anyone," he said. "I had this superstition that if I said it out loud, it wouldn't come true."

With the demands of an actor traveling is a duty that is hard on the the body and hard to get to the gym. The 44-year-old actor's trainer, Jesper Mouritzen, has devised a do-anywhere bodyweight workout for the star.

Perform eight reps of each exercise back-to-back, doing the entire circuit eight times:

1. Hand Walkout

From a standing position, keep your legs as straight as possible and walk your hand out in front of you into plant position. Walk your hands back to the standing starting position.

2. Rotating Straight-Leg Deadlift

Standing on one foot, slowly bend forward reaching toward the opposite foot. Touch your foot and return to the starting position. Alternate sides.

3. T-Push-up

Do a full push-up, then pivot one side of your body to the ceiling. Return to the starting position.

4. Warrior Lunge

With one leg do a front squat while reaching both hands and head to the ceiling.

5. Handstand Push-up

Place your hand on the floor and place your body in a handstand position against a wall. Slowly lower your head to the floor and back up.

6. Burpee

Standing upright, drop down into a push-up and kick back upright to your standing position.
