Do Hollywood Actors take steroids to bulk up for certain roles?

[Riddler]

Came across this article talking about how Hugh Jackman now eats 6,000 calories for his new Wolverine movie...
and there was a comment under it:

Steroids plain and simple. Many actors take them to bulk up for roles: Ed Norton
(American History X), Brad Pitt (Troy), Charlie Sheen (Hot Shots), etc.


Do you think there is any truth to hollywood actors using steroids? I'm thinking Christian Bale probably
took them and that's why he flipped out on the set of Terminator Salvation.

[AirTupac]

I'll do any type of drug for that type of money. :banana:

[Sarcastic]

I have no proof, but I wouldn't doubt it at all. Some of these guys put on weight that is almost impossible to do naturally in a certain time frame. Putting on 5-10 pounds of muscle in 1 year is very hard, but very good. Putting on 20+ pounds in 3 months is not possible without roids.

[JMT]

Certainly. Stallone caught red handed. Arnold admits using. Mickey Rourke as well. May be others. I'm not a big Hollywood guy.

It's a world of make believe and a culture of priveledge. Nothing about it is real.

When your life is based on your ability to pretend for 20 second intervals, your perception of working hard to get ahead likely takes a beating.

[B-Low]

I'm sure they do. Especially some of the older guys who don't have such an easy time gettin jacked for roles. It takes pro athletes YEARS to build up the physiques and the amount of muscle that some 40+ year old actors seem to build up in a matter of 2 months. It can't all be natural

If Bale put his health seriously at risk by loosing 60 pounds by eating nothing but apples and smoking cigs.. I doubt that he would do the same with roids.. Its the method actors mentality, go as far as you must to fit the part.

[DwadeOverLebron]

of course! not a big deal, ive tried it and it works!

[Irish]

I would think so, even with the perfect diet/training it is almost impossible to put on the levels of muscle needed for specific roles.

If cycled properly, steroids aren't that bad of a health risk, and with the money those actors make I'm sure they have the best experts they can find controlling it.

[rezznor]

I wouldn't doubt it

I think he flipped out b/c that light guy was moving around and distracting him during a scene where he was supposed to be emotionally worked up.

I work in TV production and used to do TV news and you aren't supposed to be walking all over the place when shooting even on stuff like Broll for reality shows or taped interviews.




As for Hollywood dudes using roids, wouldnt shock me. Several have admitted it or been caught before.

Hell yeah they do.

HOW THE F*CK IS THAT POSSIBLE!!!!!!!

oh yea... roids.
I know somebody who took roids, he started off at 140 and blew up to 175-180 lbs of pure muscle in about 6-8 months.

However, once he got off it he didn't work out as hard to maintain and lost alot of his gains. He didn't go all the way back to 140 though.

[-playmaker-]

on top of what is probably a lot of roids, Bale also had every hour of every day to dedicate to that...the rest of us have to work and stuff, he can spend 8 hours a day with a personal trainer...

although I don't see how people can eat retarded amounts of food like 6000 calories EVERY DAY...I might be able to do that a few days, but after that I would be to sick of that bloated feeling to continue...even with shakes and stuff that is just a whole lot of shit...

[E_Stamkos]

WOW!

That collage gives another look at how unbelievable the human body is. The difference between the first 2 pics is nutts

[KOBEMAMBA24]

Of course they do. You don't just put on muscle mass that fast naturally, it does not happen like that. Even with a perfect diet and impeccable genetics, it is not possible to make gains like that.

[El Kabong]

Bale got from the Machinst size to Batman Begins size in 6 months. They said on the DVD, he got to 200 + pounds, but they told him that was too big. I remember reading a interview with Bale and he said he couldn't do a single pushup when he started working out again after the Machinest.

[Dawk]

I watched that video and it said Jared Leto got rid of 60 lbs in 10 days??? What the hell?

As for Bale,when he was in machinist weight and started training again to add muscle mass then I believe the first 10's or 20's of pounds came back on easily since when you are so thin it's easy to add weight with the right exercise and eating. (like it's easy to lose 10-20 pounds by running when you're a fat ass)

What the f*ck is going on in the right side of Stalone's body?

[Patrick Chewing]

What the f*ck is going on in the right side of Stalone's body?

Veins man, veins. Sometimes when you roid up, there are certain side effects that cause an inflation in your veins, and when your body fat is at a low percentile, these veins are easily visible.

Here are what's believed to be Brad Pitt's steroid cycle while filming movies like Troy and Fight Club: http://www.isteroids.com/Brad_Pitt_Steroid_Cycles.html

Stallone does HGH I believe. They're kinda different to steroids right?

[AirTupac]

Different but have a similar effect.

[DeronMillsap]

Not actors or actresses but there was a Times Union article awhile back that listed a bunch of music celebrities who was allegedly taking steroids. One of the names was Mary J. Blige.

Kinda shocking to see her name there but I assume her type of steroid was anti-aging.

I wouldn't be surprise if Madonna is taking some kind of steroids. Ya'll seen her photos the last couple of years? She's got some muscles on her.

I started working out 4 months ago and I'm up to 229 from 202.

Not quite the same time frame but I don't think it's impossible to do without roids.

I have to admit I did gain fat too though. I see it on my belly. So it's not all muscle.

[Timmy D for MVP]

I don't remember what movie it was but there was a movie later in Denzel's career where his chest and bi's were huge! Now I know that's been his MO his whole career and like my dad is the same way in his 50's cause he used to bodybuild but.... shit.
