I think the older Hugh gets, the better he looks as Wolverine.
It’s definitely not the Disney/Marvel steroid program that Fox didn’t put it’s actors through…
Like, even the world’s best trainers, nutritionists, and anything else couldn’t consistently get these results.
They can take any random actor through that progression in like 9 months now.
There’s no way they’re all able to do it. It’s worse than 90s baseball
It’s not steroids. It’s severe dehydration plus oiling up the actor
Still an awful act - His kidneys could shut down early as a result
That, mixed with several months of full-time training, world class trainers, and a personal chef.
Why not just VFX the abs onto the actors? If any TikTok user has access to convincing beauty filters then surely Hollywood as well.
PEDs they’re one Hell of a drug.
I don’t know if it’d be healthier if the guys getting superhero bodies just said it was done to drugs (like Tom Hardy), plus having a personal doctor, trainer and chef - just something that is unattainable for most people and unwise. As I imagine it’s a contributor to the problems with men’s mental health.
You also have to wonder about the actor’s long-term health as things like HGH are really risky and diuretics can really put a strain on your system. If I was in the current generation of superhero actors, I’d be keeping a close eye on the first generation of musclemen, action heroes. It may be, with Hollywood money, you get regular checks to spot problems early and avoid the fate of a lot of the bodybuilders and wrestlers in their generation.
