Six years after 'Garam Masala', Akshay Kumar and John Abraham have teamed up again with their new action-comedy 'Desi Boyz'. John can't stop praising his co-star and says that he is the "fittest man" in the industry.

"Akshay has always been a guiding force from 'Garam Masala' itself. I was very raw then. I have learnt a lot from him," said John.

John, who worked out to make his muscular body even more tough for his last release 'Force', admires Akshay's discipline at 44.

"Even during 'Force' I was always asked who is the fittest man in the industry and I have always said it is Akshay Kumar and I stand by it. He is a true inspiration in a lot more ways than one. To look so fit and handsome all the time is really difficult and he does it all the time," added John.

John and Akshay showed off their camaraderie further at the music launch of 'Desi Boyz'. The movie, directed by Rohit Dhawan, also stars Deepika Padukone, Chitrangada Singh and Omi Vaidya. It releases November 25.
