Well, THAT would probably be Paul Rudd!!  In an interview for "Men's Health", he said, quote, “Eight hours of sleep, then diet.  Then weights.  Then cardio.  The most important part of training is sleep.  I get up and I have a cup of coffee, and then I do cardio before I eat anything.  I never would've done that before ['Ant-Man'].  I lift weights, hopefully at least three times a week."
