Looking ripped! Actor Ioan Gruffudd shows off his muscles as he walks around the set of Forever shirtless in NYC

Ioan Gruffudd looked tanned and toned as he hung around the set of his new TV movie, Forever, in between takes on Monday.

The 40-year-old Welsh actor is currently working on the new sci-fi drama in Brooklyn, New York City, in which he plays lead character Henry.

Ioan looked tanned and toned as he walked around wearing nothing but a pair of sheepskin-lined boots, grey tracksuit bottoms, with a black towel wrapped around his waist.

In other shots, he lifted his tracksuit bottoms right up and walked barefoot on stones.

 

The hot weather must have made them difficult to walk on, so a crew member walked behind Ioan and cooled them down with a jet of water.

Despite perhaps feeling a little uncomfortable, Ioan seemed in high-spirits and smiled as the water tickled his feet.

The film tells the tale of a 200-year-old man who works in the New York City Morgue trying to find a key to unlock the curse of his immortality.

Ioan is also set to star in horror thriller, Home Invasion, currently in post-production, in which a family become imprisoned in their own home by intruders who play a life-and-death game.

Bella Thorne and Chandler Riggs will also appear in the film.

The Fantastic Four actor is married to Alice Evans who he met in 2000 while co-starring alongside each other in 102 Dalmations.

After seven years together, they finally wed in Mexico in 2007 after Alice gave Ioan an ultimatum.

He said during their engagement: 'Alice has been very patient with my procrastinating with my male ways! She did give me somewhat of an ultimatum – a gentle nudge – which was the best thing she could do, really.'
