10 Things You Didn't Know About Steven Yeun

9. He Uses Christianity And Boxing To Get In The Zone

They're not the most overlapping areas, but Christianity and Boxing have proven to be two great aids for Yeun to get in the mood for another hard day of fighting zombies. He told The NY Times: "I was raised in a Christian household and heard a lot of praise music, so that€™s what helps me get to an emotional place. There€™s a church in Australia called Hillsong that specialises in the whole contemporary praise music thing, and I listen to their stuff. If I need to get really pumped up for a scene, I might listen to hip-hop or Rage Against the Machine or something crazy. "I took up boxing to get in shape for filming because it€™s gruelling €” all the running, the heat, the yelling, the crying that we do. We run on adrenaline for seven months and then hit a wall. And then we recover and start it all over again for the next season."
