Has anyone spoken at length about the doping regimen Marvel puts their actors on? Obviously Kumail came close, without ever admitting the company demanded he juice, but Natalie Portman in particular is too old and too small for whatever program they put her on and I’d be shocked if it didn’t damage her health in the long term. I remember a blind item about an actor who eats only cucumber and ice cubes when he gets cast to lean out, which is bad enough, but whatever “dieticians” and “trainers” Marvel has directing their fitness programs are going to really hurt somebody someday. Is it treated as an open secret or what?

He did some gruelling stuff while singing in that movie. I'm surprised he wasn't injured

"oh i just ate the best food with best nutritionists" is like lol come on, we all know it. "yea i had 500k personal trainers and did a bunch of trenbolone, np" isn't even a scandal anymore.

“look this way for the movie” can only mean juice, given who they cast and how long before they start shooting.  Unless Natalie had a preexisting hookup for anavar, I don’t see how the studio’s hands are clean.

those actors are also being paid multi-millions of dollars to look like that and do hire 'hollywood' personal trainers/dietitians and plan to peak around the time any shirtless scenes are gunna be filmed or that's what they say. its in the realm of possibility. the trainer could be prescribing juice

i thought Kumail said he was on a crazy workout schedule with lots of Disney dieticians that in no way was a reasonable thing to expect from a normal human. I could be mistaking him for Mack from Always Sunny tho

Also I'd seriously doubt Disney would explicitly say "you must take these research chemicals to get in our movie" they just set impossible standards and let the invisible hand sort it out

I could be mistaking him for Mack from Always Sunny tho lol "crazy workout routine and best dietician" is basically just general pr puff. like no doubt he worked out hard and ate the best of food but at some point you're still up against basic body chemistry for muscle recovery and growth, and genetics, and what usually takes 4+ years for even the best can't be done in like a 12 month span without juice. juice is the way to get around that. see also jeff bezos and elon musk who're also doping but without the hard workouts. probably not on tren but definitely at least t-doping.

that happens when you first start deadlifting, your core bones all shift up so you get some extra ones in the face

I will maintain until the day I die that Carrie Fisher died either directly or as a cascaded result from whatever diet treatment she and Hamill went on pre-TFA to drop like 100lbs each in less than a year

one of my old roommates used to juice almost every day. I could never figure out why tho, he didnt play sports nor was he trying to act in a Marvel film. Seemed like a huge waste of time and money. Would say that he was taking years off of his life but he killed himself in a car crash a few months ago so maybe he was on to something...

i say swears online posted:wait what a hundred pounds its way more obvious with hamill but he went in like 6 months from looking like your dumpy dad who just started collecting social security checks and is partying it up with the extra money, to posing in T-shirts with veins the size of pencils on his arms, and Fisher also had a fairly significant and noticeable weight loss before dying of a stroke

the funniest part is that Ford had basically zero visible change, probably because he was the only one willing to tell the mouse to piss up a rope if they tried to make him juice

She was old and had a history with drugs, I can see ECA being very dangerous. People in their 30’s get hurt from doing it, and iirc being a woman increases risk also.
