“You can’t be on the screen looking like a twig,” says the actor
POWER star Michael Rainey Jr. is ready to get in shape for the Starz spinoff Power Book II: Ghost, which will be premiering this Sunday. He will be working out so that he won’t “look like a twig” during his love scenes.

“Tariq had new love interests,” he spoke about his character, “You know, I got to do those pushups to make sure I look a little cut…I’m not really built right now, so I just be chilling. But honestly, I’m about to start going to the gym to get brolic up on these people. I just want to get swollen, but I don’t wanna get too awoke. I just wanna get a little more cut up.”
What the show is about
Power Book II starts just a few days after the finale of Power, and you will be seeing Tariq St Patrick dealing with the fallout, as his mother is facing charges for a murder she didn’t commit. He will also need to come to terms with the legacy his father left behind.
