It isn’t easy for Teen Wolf star Colton Haynes to maintain his sexy eight-pack abs.

“I have been on an extremely intense training regiment recently,” he tells VMAN’s spring 2012 issue (guest edited by Carine Roitfeld). “My trainer, David Buer, has been killing me about five days a week.”

For Haynes, 23, “the hardest part is not being able to eat carbs or junk food. I always break and get Wendy’s, but I have to pay for it later because he always finds out.”

The actor — once linked to fashion designer Lauren Conrad — knows how important it is to look good for auditions. “I have a lot of respect for my fellow young actors, ” Haynes, a former model, tells VMAN. “I t takes a lot to push forward after being no a million times, and that was what we all have to go through. So those who push deserve respect.”

“There are so many talented young actors in the industry,” Haynes adds. “I’m just happy to have a job!”

Teen Wolf hottie Colton Haynes is no stranger to fighting hate — he gave Act the deets on his work with MTV’s anti-bullying campaign “Love is Louder” last summer — so we’re totes not surprised that he’s harnessed his supernatural social media powers to spread MLK’s message.

In honor of the irreplaceable reverend, Colton tweeted this intense warning about the negative influence that intolerance has on our lives:

And let’s not forget the other stars who filled their feeds with MLK’s inspirational words — MC mogul Diddy, TV diva doc Kate Walsh and host-with-the-most Ryan Seacrest all blasted out 140 characters of equality, hope, love and unity pulled straight from the good doctor’s teachings.

MLK #FTW!

Colton takes over the Winter/Spring cover of Hero Magazine.

In an email-interview with the glossy, the 23-year-old Teen Wolf star chats about not knowing any of Teen Wolf’s twists and turns, his own heritage and never working in Los Angeles.

On never working in Los Angeles: “It is very odd that I moved to LA to work as an actor, and I’ve never worked in LA for more than a wk. In the past year, I’ve went from working in the 110 degree bayou swamp, to the 20 degree snow covered woods…that’s what I get for dreaming big.”

On never knowing what’s happening on Teen Wolf: “Our creator Jeff Davis likes to tell me little bits about what is going to happen… and then leave out the most important parts… it’s not fair haha. We are left in the dark until we read the scripts at our table-reads which is fun cause we are put in the fans’ position, wanting to know what’s going to happen. We are going to introduce a few new characters and also get to the bottom of that hefty cliff hanger at the end right away!”

On his genealogy line: “A lot of my family originated in Oklahoma. My family is Cherokee Indian, so our reservation is in a small town there. I got to visit my reservation a few times when I was younger and it was so eye-opening and inspiring to see how many things there were homemade and homegrown. An extremely self-sustaining reservation.”
