GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Donnell Turner Reveals How He Stays in Such Amazing Shape!

Donnell Turner (Curtis, GENERAL HOSPITAL) tries to stay as cool and even-keeled as his character, but the martial arts expert also lives for a good fight!

No. But there are ways to practice your craft on your own, whether it be in the form of kata or technique on a heavy bag. I don’t engage in combat like I used to, but if I were not TV, I’d be at a gym, rolling around kicking someone’s butt. I just love that!”
