Henry Cavill had a similar experience as Geralt. He said he could smell water nearby after a while

Didn’t he explain one time that the key to looking really shredded for a movie is to get SUPER dehydrated right as filming begins? Think it was because then it makes your abs and other chest muscles stick out really prominently and achieves the Hollywood expectation for how strong guy should look

Turns out he was method acting in Deadpool & Wolverine all along

Yeah they will typically time the cutting/dehydration to film all the “muscle shots” at the same time. The actors are miserable during this time period, and will and will quickly hydrate/switch to maintenance eating after this
psmgx@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yeah standard weight cutting, and then aggressive pre-show preparation. Ironically, they’re probably at their weakest during competition / shows. The not-shredded wolverine could lift harder and run faster than his tougher looking counterpart.

I think I heard something similar, so probably.
On that note, I’m well hydrated. REALLY well hydrated…

Apparently, body builders commonly do this, too, from what I’m seeing in various comments
hOrni@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yeah. There is a reason, why we only see one scene of a shirtless hero per movie.

Yes, he explained this in the BTS for “Les Miserables”
A MUSICAL MOVIE WHERE THE CAST HAD TO SING LIVE ON SET. (I had to write that in caps to drive home the point and retraumatise all the theater kids in the audience)

Ugh so annoying. So like both in movies and body building, what they’re selling is actually not a healthy or strong physique—but someone who could be on the verge of organ failure.
I like the idea of fitness, and being in functionally good shape, so this sort of exaggeration is something I find uniquely distasteful—portraying a a goal state that is actually just a grift/scam, and that is dangerous to partake in.

Don’t some European countries have regulations against this kind of thing now? Like being forced to mark images as photoshopped and requiring that models have a certain BMI?
Pelicanen@sopuli.xyz 3 months ago
As far as I remember, it is Norway that has a law requiring social media influencers to label their pictures if it has been altered and it’s France that requires models to stay over a certain BMI. I think both laws are good, but the latter one should maybe be adjusted to not strictly look at BMI as it would, for example, impact tall models differently than short ones.
Hotspur@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
Yeah I like the spirit, but BMI is such a stupid and flawed measure. It’s ok as like a population level heuristic to say things are trending one way or another, but like athletes that have lots of muscle and are tall look the same as morbidly obese people to BMI, which is obviously silly.

Jea, BMI is shit, it is hol less diverse
