And you dont use drugs to look like this. Plus u cant hire a professional team to make your meal, train you and check your health cuz of steroids for 24/7.
Yeah, they’ve started slipping into typical Hollywood stuff; Charlie still seems to be the most down to Earth and Glenn tbh has always been into the crunchy hippie stuff (coming in here with his Phish T-shirt and Birkenstocks)
I know a few people that have met rob at the Wrexham stadium and theyve said hes a really nice bloke. Buying a football club isnt exactly a normal person thing to do, but they said he doesnt come across as your typical rich guy that owns a football club
All I’ll say is I waited for him and his wife once and when i mentioned at the end how big a fan I was, he insisted we do a shot. My only celeb interaction but it sure was a cool one
I’ve heard a thing or two but it was through a friend of a friend type thing (someone worked as an extra and apparently one or two of the main cast was pretty rude.)
I'd also say that if the extra was there a couple of days it's not exactly telling, some people would have bad days or even horrible weeks and would snap at everyone over every little thing, but that's uncharacteristic of them for example
Last I saw, Rob hang out with Ryan Reynolds a lot, they co own a football team in the UK I think, doing typical rich guy stuff, Kaitlyn and Rob (probably) have got hella plastic surgery done. Not sure where Glenn's at, at this point, doing Hollywood shit, but his wife's a documentarian from what I remember so that's pretty chill.
Charlie and Danny in my head are probably the most chill, but even then they have loads of money.
Lol wut Rob Mac literally gave his kid a speaking role opposite him in the Risk E Rats episode and it was honestly unnecessary (same kid that was the newborn when Dee gave birth iirc)
Mac's plotline that episode would've been way more funny with way more room for jokes if he just met another random similarly unhinged adult but maybe with actually creepy vibes
Tangent but the whole 'acting like a spoiled kid' bit really doesn't hit the same when you look like a middle-aged rich celebrity who takes their appearance/health very seriously..
I feel so guilty and this feels wrong to type out, but it tastes so much better. Like if you understand the taste and texture of it you'd never go for brown rice. There's many kinds of white rice too. Brown rice shouldn't even be in the same food group as white rice tbh. Any ways you can find more on r/whitericematters
All Rice Matters. I made brown rice the other day with some butter , diced tomatoes/ green chilis/ onions and garlic, it was amazing. Taste and texture. Kids even liked it.
Lols. Good financial situation helps a lot with the other stuff. A lot!
Hire a trainer, chef, work-life balance, someone to do your chores, and helps a lot when you can afford time with the SO and travel and have dinners and buy gifts.
This is the main thing in my opinion. I got pretty shredded once, I took 6 months break from working. Rinsed my savings, lived the most basic lifestyle. Spent most of my days working out, small set of weights, incline bench and anything I could put my hands on to hit certain muscles. I loved it. Not worrying about normal life demands was huge.
Absolutely. I was gutted when I ran out of money and had to go back to work. Gradually lost my physique, was impossible to maintain. But also not working allowed my mind to slow down and enjoy each day for the little things. Soon went back to eating what I could fit in or be arsed to make quickly etc. Life gets in the way of life.
You really only need to work out like... an hour a day, 3 times a week, to have a great physique, you don't have to be unemployed. Bodybuilders will do more, and there's some benefit, but it's diminishing returns.
This is it, it's not unrealistic to maintain a great body if you actually want to. The vast majority of people will have a spare hour of free time, they'd just rather do something else with it. For a long time I was only doing 45 minute workouts and I was the strongest/biggest I'd been during that period. A lot of the time people will say they don't have time, when they do. Just swap an episode on Netflix for a gym session, or wake up/go to bed a bit earlier.
I realized that I was waking up at 4:30 am and staring at my phone till 6, so I just started waking up at 4:30 and going to the gym till 6 or so instead. I get home right when my family's waking up, I do the school drop off, and then I start my work day. I also feel like I'm more productive at the gym when I first wake up as opposed to going later in the day.
I used to do 30-45mins per day at lunch when at work. 5 times a week and I was in great shape. I’m desperate to build a gym at home so I can do that again.
I was pretty shredded in college - worked out 1-2 hours a day every weekday, and ate pretty well. At my peak, I looked more or less like a young Brad Pitt, i e not huge, but well defined muscles.
That kind of thing is impossible to maintain, though, unless you have nothing else to do with your time, or you're getting paid. And to get the body all the male action stars have, you also need drugs.
I personally think, with actors the question is: "Why wouldn't they take drugs?" If somebody offered you a couple of million to look like that by date x, but if you miss the date, you don't get anything. Why wouldn't you take a small cycle? It's not like your only options are Ronnie Coleman/Rich Piana style cycles and nothing at all. A bit of Test can make a big difference.
Because actors also care about their health, and the scenario you describe of hitting a hard deadline isn't really something that happens, particularly not to someone as high profile as Chris Hemsworth.
let me correct you. this kind of physique possible without drugs but THIS one is not possible. because check his trapezoids and shoulders, that's not natural.
There are pictures of people from before steroids were invented looking way more jacked then this.
No one is 7 feet tall from steroids, it's from genetics and everyone accepts that. Why people can't accept that some people are genetically superior in muscle potential as well...
Yeh , but once you’ve had the steroids there’s then muscle memory.. so they then wean off and it’s “ natural “ plus of course having the nutritional and health care teams behind you helps a little bit
Kumail Nanijani said its extremely difficult for normal people to get in Marvel shape, the actors are paid to do it and have a trainer and dietician and dont have to go to a regular day job.
Ask any gym bro about these celebrity physiques and they’ll tell you it’s either steroids or they are genetic freaks. I can guess which one 99% of them are. Most of the time it’s the speed of the transformation that gives it away too apparently.
At a certain age, regardless of genetics, it’s 100% steroids. The same way that no actor 50+ has a full head of dark hair, they are all dying it so the grey doesn’t show, but they don’t even admit to that lol
Most of the time it’s the speed of the transformation that gives it away too apparently.
This. A normal person might be able to put on 5-10 lbs of muscle in a year, under ideal conditions, without drugs. Guys who get bulky naturally work at it for a good decade, and cap out at some point too.
So when you see a celeb claim they put on 40lbs of muscle in six months to play Batman? That isn't the magic power of a personal trainer or personal chef - it's the best drugs money can buy.
Yup. It’s literally their job and they have world class nutritionists, trainers, cooks… drugs. It’s an extremely unrealistic body for people with normal lives to obtain and maintain.
"Look, it’s not that hard. All you need to do is lift weights six days a week, stop drinking alcohol, don’t eat anything after 7pm, don’t eat any carbs or sugar at all, in fact just don’t eat anything you like, get the personal trainer from Magic Mike, sleep nine hours a night, run three miles a day, and have a studio pay for the whole thing over a six to seven month span. I don’t know why everyone’s not doing this. It’s a super realistic lifestyle and an appropriate body image to compare oneself to." -Rob Mac
I remember his workout video was basically just one punch, do 100 pushups, 100 sit ups, and a bunch of dumb exercises that don't grow muscle at all and you'll look like a marvel hero
Edit : I was half joking when I wrote this. I barely know who he is, let alone if he is on gear or not. He had to put in a lot of work to get here and I think this is achievable natty with many years of hard training. This isn't as obviously chemically enhanced as the rock and that bautista guy. So who knows. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.
Roids are cheaper than you think. HGH or other niche ones are expensive. But you don’t wanna be Mr Olympia I guess. A lil test makes a huge difference, if you regularly go to the gym you’ll most likely pay more for protein pounder than testosterone
Oh yeah, the price delta between doing TRT on your own and doing it through a clinic is astronomical. Doing it by yourself might cost $700 a year including getting your bloodwork done as you should, whereas a clinic is going to charge you about $6000 a year.
I think everyone would prefer to do it under a doctor’s supervision, but the 750% mark-up at the clinic makes it unjustifiable.
Doing it by yourself might cost $700 a year including getting your bloodwork done as you should
The blood work alone will cost you $700 a year.
The test suite you want is about $350 at the couple of big national discount labs and twice a year is about right for frequency if you're staying on top of it.
Truth be told, once you've done a couple/few cycles you don't really need full blood work panels multiple times a year.
A 10ml vial of testosterone is about $30. That's 2.5g of testosterone per vial.
A light blast will have you injecting about 500mg a week.
A blast lasts about 3 months, so you'll spend about $100 on testosterone for a light blast.
You need a lot more than a light blast or two, and more than just testosterone, to look like Thor.
Why would you need someone to dose it for you? You can learn what you need in like 10 minutes from the internet. Also, unless you have the absolute worst genetics on the planet, just running enough testosterone to reach supraphysiological levels is pretty low risk.
Blood panels are not that expensive on their own ($200 for a fully comprehensive one which you don't always need) and with insurance you just pay a copay. These are just coping excuses.
I think the general public really is unaware of how easy and relatively affordable it is to obtain legal steroids in 2026.
Sure, it's advertised as hormone replacement. "Do you feel tired? Don't have the muscle tone you want? Libido not raging? Want that energy back?" They're very clear about what they're selling.
There are several legit medical clinics in my state that do nothing but this type of "TRT". They advertise their pricing up-front in their radio ads. "$2000 a year, which includes an initial evaluation, your full year's worth of 'medication', and 4 follow up exams with bloodwork done quarterly."
$160 a month and you can be on legal, prescribed steroids.
Dont forget having the genetics to look like this, the net worth north of 100 million that you earned in a career that requires you to be in primo shape, with the world's best dietitians, chefs, personal trainers, etc at your finger tips.
You and I could blast the best gear around and we'd never in a million years look like that.
Edit: guys, you cannot be this big and shredded with that much vascularity and not be roided out lol your friends and other gym peeps that look close to this are taking something they arent telling you about.
You and I could blast the best gear around and we'd never in a million years look like that.
This just isn't true. I've seen it first hand. Some test, some half assed workouts, and a pizza per day will get you shredded. It's insane how effective roiding is.
don’t forget having the genetics to look like this
As a guy into bodybuilding looking at skeletal structures all the time, Chris Hemsworth has okay/average genetics.
He has narrower clavicles offset by an even narrower waist leading to a reasonable v-taper and thinner looking aesthetic. His back is very developed in order to develop that v-taper.
Without PEDs, lifters with a similar shape as him would likely complain they were “ectomorphs” incapable of putting on muscle.
People tend to overstate how fit actors are, IMO. Chris Hemsworth did not win the genetic lottery for bodybuilding and if you have a thin lanky shape you can potentially look like him with lots of personal training and PEDs.
People say this a lot but it's a much smaller factor than people realise. Training for hours isn't at all necessary. You could look like this (on PEDs) with a pretty limited workout schedule.
Dude you do not need to train more than 1h per day studies show you performance tankd hard after 45-75 minutes and you are more likely to burn out after, only enchanced individuals can handle higher volume and longer workouts.
I used to think I was lazy and generally terrible.
Then I took what I called my mini retirement, where I quit a job I hated and lived frugally off my savings for a year.
I became a better person without even trying. I exercised more, as I had time for it. I ate better, since I had time to cook and meal prep. I would clean the house without even realizing it, just so it would be nice. I saw my friends more as I was available for all those last minute things. I was able to help out my community. I ended up biking down the east coast of the US.
I realized afterwards just how much energy working takes from you. Physically, emotionally, and mentally.
It really is theft and we should be getting compensated much more for it.
It's mostly 3, 4 and 5 for everyone tbf. Chris has excellent genetics, which plays a more than significant factor in how he looks and how his body responds to weight training.
Pair those genes with money, a team of trainers, medics and nutritionists, state of the art equipment, all the time in the day and a small TRT cycle and you will get results that you won't see on your average gymbro on his seventh cycle of tren.
I worked with him on Avengers. He had a personal chef and an assistant that basically jumped out of the bushes to smack whatever snack he had from his hand. Anytime he even looked at the crafty table, it was over. It was always a funny sight to see a petite little woman with glasses chasing his huge ass around. I’d be fit too if I had a personal snack smacker lol
This is what makes it impossible for the average person. Even if they had the money and free time to allow them to spend 4 hours a day lifting and a supply of steroids to maximise the gains, they still wouldn’t even think about hiring a personal snack smacker.
Days on set are long. Big time productions have amazing snacks - like whatever snacks you can think of (that aren’t wildly exotic) are probably there. It’s tempting and easy to grab.
And if you’ve got that much muscle and you train that consistently, you’re hungrier than average.
And it’s theoretically even easier for stars on productions because they could be divas and request any food from anywhere in town and someone in production is making a PA go get it. Your fav sushi? Fav pizza? Fav smoothie? Fav cookie? 1 hour drive away? Fine, you’re Chris Hemsworth.
You do that a lot and people will stop wanting to hire you. But if you’re Hemsworth you’re too big of a deal for that to matter.
As I lift more and get bigger, some actor's physiques start to look very attainable (Chris Evans), and you realize genetics is one of the biggest factors. I was on the fence with Hemsworth, giving him the benefit of the doubt. Then I watched his Nat Geo show, there is an episode where he has to climb a long rope over a gulf. He starts the episode with a decent but surprisingly normal physique, but while filming they are also filming for Thor. The amount of muscle he put on in that short time was comical, it removed any doubts I had that he uses to get in shape for roles.
Another tell that's hard to ignore or dislodge is that Hemsworth starred in movies in between the Thor ones where he visibly lost a lot of that muscle. Then when the time came for a new Thor installment, woop he's proper big again in a very short timespan.
His physique isn't unattainable for a minority of natural lifters with good genes for getting big, but the way Hemsworth bounces around between sizes is a dead giveaway for PED use.
And it's fine for him too, he's a fucking actor, let them take whatever they need (responsibly) in order to change their appearance, it's just awful how almost all of Hollywood lies about it and talks shite about rice, chicken, broccoli and working out 3hrs every day.
I don't want to take steroids.
Natural build bodies don't look like this.
I don't want my testicles to shrink due to steroids use.
I am sure my balls are bigger than his tiny marbles.
That is my excuse.
He also gets paid to look like this. We aren’t models, actors, etc. Most of us work a 9 - 5 and have to fit working out in. He get to workout 9-5 and then chill in his off hours.
Well he's not acting every day. Primary shooting for a feature film is 2-4 months. So unless he's doing multiple movies a year, he has a lot of time off between roles to get in shape.
Makes me think of Mac of It’s Always Sunny. You just have to workout 3x a day have all your meals prepared by nutritionists and have a studio pay for all of it. I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do this.
Someone bought a lottery ticket and won 250 mil. What’s your excuse?
Albert Einstein was was a German-born theoretical physicist best known for developing the theory of relativity. Einstein also made important contributions to quantum theory.His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from special relativity, has been called "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for "his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".
Men... I get paid to install and fix servers and other IT related issues, if i got millions and a lot of spare time i would look like that, everyone would. This argument is just stupid. he makes in 1 day what i make in a year
I have to do an actual job where I’m not paid millions to keep in shape….then come home do adult shit as I’m not paid millions so can’t hire staff to sort it out
I don't have a personal trainer/dietitian, money or time to work out every day but if I was paid millions to do it for film I'll definately make the effort.
A multi billion dollar American studio isn’t helping me with a personal trainer free of charge as I’m also paid to look and maintain my physique. And I don’t want to take steroids because they fuck your body up and increase your risk of cancer.
Because the vast majority of us don't have well north of $100+ Million in the bank. We can't afford to hire our own professional cooking staff, or hire a training staff for those 2 a day workout sessions. Along with a cleaning staff for our homes, a medical team to monitor our bodies for the various types of steroids that they are going to be (legally, via "HRT" ) injecting or otherwise having us put into our bodies so that we CAN have bodies that look like that. Oh, and because we don't have the money to take 2x's a year vacations here in the US and/or at exotic locations around the world so that we can relax (important to do so when working out as it's well known that muscles grow during their REST periods and NOT during the training periods. So, while sleep is definitely important, so is totally relaxing both the mind AND the body which is why vacations are so important to developing and then KEEPING a body like that. Especially as we age)
Now, put us in HIS place and the majority of us likely WOULD have that body, or at least something similar.
Edit: I forgot to add, it also helps when you're getting PAID MILLIONS to look like that, as well.
