Chase Stokes opened up about feeling pressure to stay “super lean” while filming his hit series Outer Banks.

The 32-year-old actor has starred in the hit series since 2020. He’s set to return alongside his fellow castmates in the fourth season in October.

During a new interview, Chase reflected on keeping fit for the role. He explained how it felt “disrespectful” of him to not take his fitness seriously.

“I just want to naturally represent myself and take care of my body and present that to the world,” Chase told People, adding, “I don’t want to show up on screen and look like I don’t take care of myself, because I think that is sort of disrespectful and discrediting to the show and the audience who’s tuned in.”

Check out the trailer for Season 4 of Outer Banks, which premieres in two parts. Part 1 arrives on Netflix on October 10. We’ve also got all of the info about the cast list for the new season.
