15 Famous Men Who Opened Up About Shirtless Scenes, Body-Shaming, And The Unrealistic Body Standards Hollywood Creates

I hear women talk about unrealistic body standards all the time but all a woman has to do to have a nice body is not get fat. In order for a man to have a body like these men in movies they have to lift weights 5 days a week for a year or two.

This is what a 50 year old man has to look like to portray a superhero character, 40 year old man, 42,49, 52, on and on...

What about the women? this is what a 32 year old woman has to look like to play the most powerful hero in the MCU, she just has to fit in the costume.

This probably my favorite. notice the two men show the results of years of body training, the women are kind of skinny

Most films aren't based in anything resembling reality. The serious actors should refuse to be ripped unless it's absolutely required for the role (like Arnie was always jacked even playing somewhat regular guys which was absurd and generally left unexplained). But I agree that it's bullshit that the actors aren't honest about it.

I am tired of the famous, really good-looking 'movie star' actors (e.g. Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot who are always in awful, overbudgeted garbage and can barely act). They don't look like anyone I know or interact with excepting the outliers. I'd rather see something realistic, or an ironic take on their egos and need to be beautiful to sell mediocre films while they profit obscenely. But I think many of the star's egos won't let them commit and play a regular, schlubby person.

Of course genetics plays a role. However, if you are aware that these are bodies largely enhanced by lighting, dehydration, between-scenes pumps, and PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS, then the bodies just become part of the detachment from reality.

However, what many perceive to be "unrealistic" is just a fit dude with a six pack. It's no different than girls stroking the ego of fat chicks on Tik Tok, then shaming the hot girls because they hurt body positivity or some shit.

Getting to 10% body fat isn't unrealistic. Hard, absolutely, but not unrealistic. Expecting to make the progress that these dudes make, at their age, in the stated time frames, is unrealistic. If celebrities actually cared about this topic, they'd come out and say "I, Chris Hemsworth/Dwayne Johnson/Hugh Jackman/Etc. take steroids to look like this."

Pro tip: If a celebrity says "Chicken, Broccoli, and rice" it's almost always code for steroids. Combine that with ridiculous hours in the gym with no days off. They make it sound super extreme to make their progress naturally believable to normies.

No one should have to "dehydrate" like a freaking raisin.I believe some fetishy type stuff is going down,with the way !an and women are coached to appear in screen or edited to appear.

#14, Justin Baldoni, gave an infuriating Tedx Talk about this issue, where he spent the entire time taking a giant dump all over men. He's such an insufferable douche.

The thing i hated growing up was working out to sculpt and inherent shape you have are not the same. For example, emily rata is NOT athletic, she said so in her book. She is blessed with elite genetics. So some girl wanting to be em rata can’t emulate that shape with constant workout and diet. She would have to do both and possibly go under the knife. That’s what men might have to do too if to they want that Greek God look

Is this mocking men because I refuse to believe Buzzfeed allowed their writers to write something like this? They're always writing SJW type of stuff.

Just compare how many body type girl dolls there are. They demanded a bunch of body type Barbies. Ken however has what's. Two?

I think men should wear full costumes when going swimming and sight depression and fear of body shamming buy a wet suit

no guy, I repeat, no guy should give an iota of a fuck about male "beauty standards". How pussy of you to do so. Go to the gym, eat healthy, maintain discipline and an iron mind. Who gives a fuck what anyone thinks, especially any judgmental woman, about your body. man the fuck up

Fellow men. It happens to both genders and the ladder. Let’s work with the women? Fight it together?
