Extreme Hollywood body transformations have become standard preparations for film actors – but we need to consider the consequences

Thursday, July 20, 2023

“…when you’re shooting a film like Magic Mike, and you’re doing dance routines for two weeks at a time, you have to peak every day.

Key Points: 
  • “…when you’re shooting a film like Magic Mike, and you’re doing dance routines for two weeks at a time, you have to peak every day.
  • We had a gym in the parking lot, and we’d all be lifting weights on set all day,” explained actor Joe Manganiello, about performing in the film Magic Mike.
  • It is not unusual for actors to undergo drastic changes in preparation for a role, including gaining muscle and losing body fat for that shredded look.

So how do they do it?

    • Nevertheless, these Hollywood workouts are highly popular with ordinary people, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Chris Hemsworth’s workouts particularly sought after.
    • Actors of all genders are undergoing these body transformations for various roles such as superheroes, athletes, or the portrayal of real-life people.

What are the consequences?

    • So, I’d prefer not to die,” said Christian Bale, who has undertaken multiple extreme transformations for roles.
    • A concern for the bodybuilding community is the widespread use of drugs, often multiple drugs at a time not obtained through prescription.
    • We are not sure exactly why exercise dependence happens, but it could potentially be a form of behavioural addiction.

What about the dieting impacts?

    • Both are characterised by restrictive diets, high levels of exercise, potential social isolation, and adherence to a rigid schedule.
    • This research showed that people who are experiencing starvation for a period of time will experience devastating impacts in the physical, psychological, behavioural and social aspects of their lives.
    • Concerningly, even once a person is renourished, the psychological issues around body size and food can persist.

What are the impacts on the general public?

    • So seeing actors doing this seemingly easily with the assistance of their professional teams sets an unrealistic standard.
    • These body modifications are definitely a case of “do not try this at home”.
    • There are many risks when undertaking dramatic body modifications, most of which are not talked about in public.
