“You're so fat,” male actors complain of Hollywood's physical standards

Jasmine Adel

It seems that Hollywood intends to continue long to impose its physical standards on male stars, and the requirement that they submit to it, otherwise they will not get the roles even if they are technically appropriate.

After months of Scottish actor Richard Madden's statement during his interview with British Vogue magazine, that male actors are also being pressured about their weights and the shape of their bodies, others are encouraged to announce their dissatisfaction, led by the star Henry Cavill, who stated that the response he got when he came to experience performing For the sake of "James Bond" it was "You're too fat to play the role of Bond."

Although the response was shocking and painful, he felt grateful for telling him that fact that made him realize that he had to do a nutritional diet and take care of his body if he wanted to get good deeds, especially as an integral part of Hollywood movies became dependent on the appearance of the heroes without their shirts in a lot of time To flex their muscles.

Thus Cavel was forced to do very stiff exercises in order to get a better shape to grasp the role of "Superman" in the movie "Man of Steel" and then the rest of the series, before he had to resort to more difficult exercises for his role in the fantasy series that will be shown This month on "The Witcher" Netflix.

Hollywood is tough on its stars
As for the star Daniel Craig, who is best known for playing the role of Secret Agent James Bond since 2006 - the last of which will be next year - and the movie "No Time to Die", scheduled for April 2020, according to the Guardian newspaper, he has been doing exercises for a while. 12 hours a day for the latest James Bond roles.

Action and action movie star Dwayne Johnson - or as the world defines "The Rock" or "The Rock" - also shared his fans in a recent interview, saying that his structure is seen by many as wonderful, even the makers of "Jumanji: Welcome to the Bush" ( Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle 2017) They decide to use that and add it comically in a scene.

In that scene, actor and singer Alex Wolf - at the beginning of the movie and after he entered the Jumanji game - turns from his weak body to Johnson, so he feels joy and pride with all these muscles and strong physical structure.

However, according to Johnson to the Guardian, this structure is not easy to obtain, as it requires long hours of daily exercises, which makes preparing for roles more like subjecting the body to daily and self-punishment in order to obtain the most appropriate form of the role.

Fitness versus talent
This necessitated the participation of many stars in their audiences with their diets and exercise plan. Perhaps the most famous of them was the daily plan of the star Mark Wolberg, which was published last year, but they even share photos taken during training on social media platforms, so that such images are topping the covers of major magazines Such as "Men's Health" and "Men's Fitness" as part of the promotional process.

Sports star exercises have also become the fuel and foundation of many fitness-related sites, not just stars like Johnson, Cavill and Craig who lead the action-adventure action championships, but even actors who play romantic or comedic roles like Zac Efron and Kevin Hart, and somehow all become everyone Being in the gym from five in the morning most days.

This seems frustrating not only to these stars, but also to the cinema industry, because it is unfortunate that the stars get the major and crucial roles - whether in their lives or in relation to the history of the cinema itself - based on their bodies and the extent of their fitness, not about an artistic merit and talent worthy of being shed by the lights so they come out To light.

It is reported that the star Dwayne Johnson will be on screen through the second part of the adventure series "Jumanji: The Jumanji: The Next Level", and starring Jack Black and Kevin Hart. The film started today, Wednesday, in Egypt, but in the United States of America it will be shown beginning of December 13.

Henry Cavill's latest work is the "Magician" fantasy series, one of the most anticipated on Netflix this year, and scheduled for release on December 20. It takes place in a fictional village where the Dwarfs struggle with the Elfs all the time, and at the same time there is a hunter who has succeeded in developing his magical and miraculous ability to tackle the monsters that crowd the world.
