So, I'm currently watching STAR TREK TOS and I happened to notice something. William Shatner was no doubt handsome at the time and it was common then as it is now to have attractive actors in shows and movies. But i notice in his shirtless scenes that he wasn't really that muscular. He looked like he had an average figure. Fast forward 50+ years and it seems like to have a role in any kind of movie/show be it romcom, action or whatever to have a six pack figure, or lose a bunch of weight for a role and I question, is it really that necessary? Other countless stories exist (Hugh Jackmans strict regimen to play Wolverine, Christian Bale's weight gain for American Hustle etc. I mean, that can't be healthy in the long run for an actors body. And it's not just limited to male actors, actresses have gone full tilt to be fit for their movies too. I kind of wish it went back to that safer time in the 50s 60s where you could sit down and enjoy whatever was on without thinking "do they look right?" And considering Bruce Willis's recent diagnosis of frontemporal dementia that came about possibly due to a head injury on one of his movies, I feel like changes should be made for actors safety, that they can play a part and not necessarily have to be buff or a skinny bean pole(Christian Bale The Machinist).
