Actor Alfie Allen has revealed he has been working hard in the gym in preparation for his upcoming nude scenes on stage.

Lily Allen's little brother, will take the lead in classic play Equus, previously featuring Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.

Proudly showing off his injured hands at the London premiere of Beowulf, the 21-year-old said: "Look, rowing machine blisters. Check that out!"

And it looks like romance may have blossomed for Alfie and his red carpet companion, Jamie Winstone, who is the daughter of Beowulf star, Ray Winstone.

He reportedly said: "She's really, really nice. I really get along with her. I feel like I've known her for longer than I have."

He added: "I did a job called Boogie Woogie about three weeks ago and she was on that same job and since then we've been hanging out."

Alfie, the son of actor Keith Allen, will deliver his first lead role as a disturbed youngster in Equus next year.
