The actress shared with Elle: “I’m sure a lot of people can relate to this. but he’s really irritable when he hasn’t eaten. He gets really angry.”

She added: “It’s not just sort of like, ‘Okay, get him a sandwich,'” she continued. “I think it might have also been exacerbated by—when he’s training, there’s certain days where he wouldn’t drink water all day and he was going through very intense training. So he was allowed some irritable days.”

She went on to say: “Also, when he’s having a cheat day, he really goes in and it feels like being at a college dorm room, but a really nice one, where the kid has a lot of money, because he just has everything from Chinese food to pizza. Every kind of junk cuisine he’d want. He’s in basketball shorts just gorging himself. But he only had a couple of those days, so he’s allowed.”

Meanwhile, Jordan punched Jimmy Kimmel in the face at the late-night host’s request on Tuesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

“But I don’t wanna be hurt!” he added. “What I want you to do is punch me in slow motion, and what we’ll do is I’ll react in slow motion, and then we’ll speed it up so it looks like you punched me really hard.”
