Voice over is no easy task, especially when you are given the responsibility of bringing an iconic character such as Pikachu to life.

In order to prepare himself for this daunting role, Ryan Reynolds pushed himself to lift one Snorlax each and every single day. Now for those of you who are wondering, an average Snorlax weighs about 1,014.1 pounds.

But this wasn’t enough for the Deadpool actor, no Reynolds would also go onto beat every single Pokemon game under the stipulations of the Nuzlocke challenge.

Detective Pikachu is currently in theaters so be sure to check it out.
