It's funny, when I saw Fight Club I thought Brad Pitt had an incredible physique. Shows how little I knew at that time. I saw a pic from that movie recently and was like I'm bigger than him

5 Pullups He sure was beating up his back

[Pioneer]

wow, hope he doesn't strain himself on chest day, 25 push ups.

im amazed

[Beowulf]

Anyone think he used any "supplements"? Obviously, he's not huge, but maybe winny, primo or var?

I think he definitely did for Troy and Fight Club. He looked unusually big for himself in Troy

I'm not a big fan of Brad Pitt, but I can tell you one thing..... That movie Troy is one of my favorites. I've seen it about 4 times. And yes, he does look shredded in that film.

[jminis]

They juice a lot of actors. Nick Cage when from a skinny little biotch to a solid looking SOB in Con Air. You can def tell when it's used to. These actors say in their interviews "oh I work out now for 5 hours a day that's how I got so much bigger" yeah right.

No.

I don't have proof, but I'm confident in this. He is a genetic freak. Take a look at some of the old stuff he did when he was a teenager -- one was a movie where he was a track athlete, (don't remember name). He has always been ripped and muscular. I think the difference between those days and his physique in Troy is no more than 10 pounds of muscle, (maybe 15). 10-15 pounds is nothing for somebody with good genetics and whom has publicly admitted that he has not worked out consistently ever. It's all newbie gains.

Besides, do you believe everything you see on tv? They do have the ability to make things look better on film these days.

Movie magic, isn't that what they call it?

[ryano]

Its Rhino's body with Brad's face pasted on.

[Sunder]

I just think Brad has amazing genetics. He's naturally very lean.
Leaness is much more important on camera than size. The shadows on muscles really stand out more. You have a harder time telling if someone is big or not unless you have some frame of reference.

So just put Pitt in a movie with people smaller than him, and he'll look huge. Kinda like how Tom Cruise doesn't look like a midget in movies...

[R-Mac]

one of my favorites was Edward Norton in American History X, he was friggin ripped, then he went back to the twig he is in the following movies, I think fight club followed it

[joeymutz]

yeah man edward norton was ripped in that movie, i dont understand why you wouldn't want to stay that way unless your roll in the movie required you to be small. As for actors juicing i don't know they do pay personal trainers alot of money and have there diets and workouts planned for them, it would be like having bobo with you every day telling you exactly what to eat and how to lift.

[Pioneer]

ryan reynolds(sp) i think admitted he juiced for blade III. it was in an interview that was posted a while ago, though i think it was by tech zilla on bb.com. so take what you will from that piece of information.

[Robboe]

Anyone think he used any "supplements"? Obviously, he's not huge, but maybe winny, primo or var?

I did and still believe he used methamphetamines.

He's always been really lean, but to stay so dry for the 6-8 weeks of shooting (or there abouts), i believe he was using some sort of speed derivative.

In Snatch he wasn't quite as dry.

[Beowulf]

He may have great genetics, but he is also 40 or more years old. It's a lot tougher at that point.

Good point Robboe

[SJA]

Hey.....we know that we're old but you don't have to keep pointing it out young man

I definitely think that he juiced for Troy. You can't workout and sword fight all day long and still put on 20 pounds of muscle in a few months. I don't care what kind of genetics you have.....and he smokes too. Right after Troy, he looked really skinny. And I have to say that Beowolf is correct....it IS tougher as you get older due to degradation of GH, DHEA and testosterone. I don't see how he could have put on that much mass in such a short period without some help of a pharmaceutical nature. I saw a documentary on the filming of Troy. Pitt WAS that big and ripped even during his interviews so it wasn't movie magic.

[Beelzebub]

it wouldn't have went well for norton to be beefed up in fight club. kinda contradictory to the role.

[Robboe]

I didn't think Pitt looked all that big in Troy myself.

[jminis]

I don't understand why some don't believe they use these things in the movie biz. Were talking about a business that is all about looks, money, and fame. Also as we all know under a controlled and responsible enviroment AAS can be used with great success without damaging the body. So why not??

[LCSULLA]

As for Ed Norton, he's no dummy. He knows that he won't get as many rolls being that big (relative term, I know). Look and Vin D. He was pretty thick in XXX, but I saw him last year on the cover of GQ and he looked about 175-185lbs. I remeber reading about this actor-bber in Flex back in the 90's (he was in the Program as Lattimer) and he said he had to try and get down to about 210-220 to get more rolls in film. And he was like 6'3 or 6'4.

[Jim Mills]

Brad Pitt said in an interview with USA Today that he used a low-carb / high-protein diet during the training for his role in Troy. The big budget epic opens today. Physically, Pitt prepared for the role with a year of intense training. "The first three months were daunting and not fun at all." His days included two to three hours in the gym, two additional hours of sword work and four high-protein, low-carb meals. As a result, he gained about 10 pounds of brawn.

[Tiftan090]

The first thing I thought when I saw him in Troy was "Hey, he's got fina face bloat" But, could be deca face also. Kalifornia is another movie where you can tell he's on.

[intv]

I agree about his genetics, he can probably get pretty lean w/out losing a ton of muscle. He could also probably gain a few lbs if he wasn't already on a good routine/diet, kind of like beginner's gains. That said, I also think the use of AAS (esp. orals) and speed (or other stims for weight loss) in film is underestimated.
