  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

    I mean, it’s dehydration, but on top of steroids.

    Especially when you consider Jackman is fucking 55 years old. In the pic in the left from 20 years ago, he’s too old to look like the pic on the right.

    There is zero percent chance he’s not on them.

    That, mixed with several months of full-time training, world class trainers, and a personal chef.

      For sure, was just specifically mentioning the full on harmful method used

      I’d sure love having a personal chef.

        Eating healthier would be so much easier if I had someone professionally trained at making healthy things tastier cooking food for me.

        Adding to that, time constraints wouldn’t be an issue. Sometimes making great tasting things is really a matter of spending a long time on a dish.

    It is definitely also steps and supplements in addition to dehydration

    It’s also steroids, and probably some very expensive, very exotic PED.

      It’s just testosterone and trebolone, plus maybe a very short run of oral superdrol. Couple that with a ten week cut and some diuretics plus simple carbs just before filming. Six months bulking, three months cutting, every meal calorie counted and tracking macros. Still very hard on your body and requires more or less constantly thinking about.

        I heard Stalone regularly uses human growth hormones.

  Why not just VFX the abs onto the actors? If any TikTok user has access to convincing beauty filters then surely Hollywood as well.

    I thought that was the joke of the movie. That his abs are fake. Because they looked so super oiled up and fake. I don’t even see why not. They can only maintain that kind of physique for a day of shooting or so.

  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.
