In an interview done while he was training, Reeve said he ate four meals while on a high protein diet and he took vitamins.

He was a very lovely person,” Prowse said of Reeve. Reeve trained with Prowse for six weeks, according to the interview. “I get a call from Dick Donner and he says, ‘Can you get down to the studio as quick as you can, we’ve got a Superman,'” Prowse said in a previous interview unearthed by Heat Vision.
