Christian LeBlanc: A Total Knockout

YR_Kristen: Okay then onto the second statement regarding the eye candy; we'd love to know what kinds of things you do to stay in shape.

LeBlanc: That'd be lovely if I were in shape! Actually, I do a lot of things so I'm just pulling this off the top of my head. It's one of those things I've always had to do because stress is such a huge deal. Physical activity is something I love because it relaxes you, calms you down. I like activities that take so much out of you that you're exhausted at the end of the day, like skiing. I love that! I'm not like a lay on the beach and tan person, although I do love the beach!

YR_Kristen: Who doesn't?! Do you have a favorite physical activity?

LeBlanc: I fell in love with boxing when Greg [Rikaart (Kevin)] and I did a big storyline where we boxed as brothers. We actually went to take lessons. So I started up again and finally found someone that was near my house; a great coach. That has really kept me up. It just drops your weight whether you want it to or not! I really like it – that's the thing – as opposed to doing anything passive. It's a new thing, it's challenging. It's like when we were talking about the work… how do you find a way to keep interested in physical fitness? It's part of my job to stay healthy. So you can jump into any role and do what's demanded of you. It's not easy work, staying healthy, on that level. You're in the studio early mornings. So boxing has become something I really love doing. It's the hardest thing I've taken on. My calves are killing me today – things that never hurt before! Now I have some kind of facility. It's so similar to dance. Your energy comes from your hips and your legs. There's such a subtlety to it. I mean I have no interest in being hit or hitting another person so I do a lot of bag work and learn the technique.


Christian & Greg refine their boxing technique!

YR_Kristen: Do you think it'll come into play on the show again?

LeBlanc: Oh Lord, I'm ready to box my brother! I should have taken lessons on how to fall down because they had to have him win! They did want us to have some facility with it, and my God, I loved it!

LeBlanc(shouts to passersby): Peter [Bergman (Jack)], what a mega talent!

YR_Kristen: Sounds like you have fun with your fellow cast members?

LeBlanc: Yes, we have the best group here. I've been very lucky in my career to work with good people. I can't imagine working with people I don't like. It happens. It's work, it's a job. But I'm so lucky because this people are great and they're good so it makes you better. It's like playing tennis. Play with someone better than you!

YR_Kristen: So you're always learning?

LeBlanc: Truly.
