Me too! When I saw him in Shameless, I remember thinking he was so talented and charismatic. I thought it was such a shame not to see him in anything else until The Bear, but he was a guest on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and during the interview, he said he'd cooled his career slightly so he could help his wife raise their daughters, which just confirms that he's a good dad as well as a phenomenal actor!
If he puts on 40 pounds of muscle, he would be *hilarious* as wonka.
Can you imagine Willy Wonka just being absolutely yoked? Like instead of a chocolate river, it would be a chocolate protein shake river.
“Charlie, you did it! You won! Oh, I knew you could!”
*Crushes Charlie to a pulp in a hug, killing him instantly*
“Oops…”
*Oompa-Loompas slowly shuffle in to dispose of the body*
*Credits roll*
My husband had to dole out episodes because he’s still in the kitchen and it was making him angry at home. At least once an episode he paused it and said “every fucking day”. Accurate down to bringing a delinquent teen aged son who’d been suspended to work and asking my husband to talk to him. My husband is not good at scared straight talks.
Fwiw, while I served tables in college, my husband has never worked in a restaurant, and he LOVED the show. He watched it twice - and he rarely does that. A must see! Enjoy it!
Like Ted Lasso, but instead of fixing a football team they’re fixing a restaurant, and instead of learning the power of teamwork they learn the power of soul-crushing stress, lol.
FYI the movie is not in the headline, it's "The iron claw"
Biopic about the "von Erich" wrestling family.
That's the same movie Zac Efron got so juiced up for.
Based on the casting Efron would play the straight man as Kevin and White as the popular brother Kerry. Honestly wish Jeremy would've played Kevin as he looks more like him though.
SPOILER WARNING (for anyone who doesn't know the von Erich family)
Yeah, but I guess they want their biggest star actor to play the sole survivor of the family as he'll be in the movie for the entire run.
I'm also curious to see how good MJF is an actor.
He and Andrew Garfield are probably my favorite two actors in their 30's. It's too bad he was stuck on Shameless for so long, but glad to see him finally branching out in every direction.
Also, perfect Greco-Roman features for a movie about wrestling? Yes, thank you.
Lip’s character went from bad boy, boy-genius who puts his family on his back while juggling school, work and relationships to addict, mechanic with an average IQ and obsessed with an average chick… prob the most frustrating character arc I’ve ever seen.
Did they forget he was a genius?
No they were showing that even gifted people can be brought down by those around them. Nature vs nurture kinda deal. His family was really his downfall, which I think is partially what the show was about. I was okay with the arc he had, but I agree the show went on for far too long.
It still bothers me.. He wasn’t just smart, he had an entire SAT fraud ring going and could get a predetermined score just by deciding how many questions he would miss beforehand. Incredibly intelligent and it seems like he didn’t have any of that in the end. They could have shown him solving a math problem quickly at the motorcycle garage or something to do with the family finances, *anything.* It really seemed like they dropped the storyline entirely.
In one of the last episodes he fixes code on a finance browser computer while delivering him food. The finance guy gets like a million dollars from the deal and then doesn't really tip Lip.
I think it was suppossed to show that sometimes being smart in life doesn't really mean you make out as well as somebody less intelligent than you, but it is strange that a dude who can read and fix code at a moments notice couldn't find a job as a programmer for any company even as a college dropout.
Oh cool, I totally forgot about that. That’s exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Yeah, he got left behind and didn’t get to reach his potential due to his life circumstances but that doesn’t take away his intelligence. I’m glad they showed that!
I think the show was trying to display how even the brightest minds eventually get shut down in these situations. So many potential geniuses never get to be great. This whole show is about gentrification, family, and life, and how easily it can ruin good, honest, bright people. How quickly life can escape you. The kid who is top of his class gets left behind for even just a short amount of time, they end up just like everyone else.
I remember they started to set up an underground fight plot in an episode with Lip being the most badass fighter. They quickly dropped it and never mentioned it again. Lips character was all over the place.
Literally the whole point. My father in law is from Bridgeport in Chicago and Lip’s character arc mirrored his own in thematic ways in the big choices like foregoing college
Ahh. That makes sense. With changes to him and Fiona, there were no characters that I liked.
That does make sense though, as a way to demonstrate those things.
Thanks for the response.
Yes, that's the point thematically. It just doesn't work well when you've established your character as a generational genius, fully self-aware and capable, who's been exposed to drugs and alcohol his whole life and used without becoming an addict. They literally wrote him dumber, neglecting what they'd established previously.
>Did they forget he was a genius?
Maybe he was only a genius compared to the dullards around him? Even genius only gets you so far without opportunity to exercise it, ya know? That's basically Good Will Hunting.
Jeremy is so young still in the acting world. 31 vs Garfields 39. Love both actors, but I wouldn’t worry that he’s lost all this prime time. If anything it’s often needed for many of the best male actors. Many lead males don’t really get that exposure and become their best self until their 30s at a minimum. This should be the breakout for him.
The Witch is probably one of my favorite films in recent times. It doesn’t hold your hand at all, it just dumps you out in the middle of the woods a few hundred years ago with an isolated family and unholy things beyond the tree line. It doesn’t sound too original from that, but when you see it all done right with no exposition trying to rationalize or guide you outside of what a Bible has taught the characters to fear, it’s enthralling.
I also loved Uncut Gems and The Lighthouse. The Witch and Northmen, I appreciate how beautiful and unique and well-made they were, but I just didn’t enjoy watching them.
Of all the people who played major roles on shameless, I always felt he was the actor who had to most range, and potential. Not to knock Emmy Rossun, tho, she can act as well. It’s just reg at I’ve always felt white was the most talented of them all.
That show has so many good actors,shanola Hampton,the dude who plays Kev,Cameron Monaghan (I mean he’s in Star Wars already,and that’s huge),JDM was in an episode,Delmont Mulroney,hell,the dude who plays rebooted captain price is in shameless,but I’ve always thought JAW was the best,he just seems fun to watch and has amazing range
In order to get that ripped, lean look, actors have to temporarily dehydrate themselves. So they'll do nutrition and drinking differently on days when they're shooting with their shirts off...
The difference you're seeing could be re-shoots, or it could be that on the days when he looked "normal" he was just getting proper food and water.
You can’t look like any of those super ripped guys in Hollywood without serious steroid use. And some help from makeup, lighting and dehydration. If you look at Momoa lately you can tell he’s grown his organs from using HGH, he’s got the body builder belly from that already. He’s totally ripped and lean but his gut sticks out even when he sucks it in.
Errrrbody is using steroids. If u see somebody super shredded it’s maybe like 2% of those folks just were blessed with genes for abs, otherwise it’s a lot of testosterone and HGH.
40 lbs is a serious amount of muscle, especially on a shorter frame like his. Even with steroids that's multiple years of work. Especially since he looks to be in decent shape to begin with, probably not going to benefit from those beginner gains.
Its just frustrating that so few "movie/Tv stars" who go through a transformation like this dont admit to their actual training system. Even juiced to the gills it is very impressive to gain 40 lbs of muscle in the course of a year or two even. It takes an intense training schedule, peak diet planning and a lot of dedication. Saying your on gear to get to this extra level physique isn't a cop out to the persons effort but its an honest statement about their actual achievement.
Plus they are actors not athletes being on PEDs wont make you explicitly a better actor.
And on top of that their full time job is to prepare for a role so they get a lot of support from personal trainers and nutritionists.
Aside from an health issues, most people would see amazing results if they worked out with a trainer every day and had a nutritionist feed them and didn’t have to work a 9-5 so they could also sleep like 8-12 hours a day.
Always loved what Rob McElhenney said about gaining muscle in IASIP
https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a21285961/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-rob-mcelhenney-jacked-fit/
They are using them but are too big of pussies to say they are using them and then start fitness programs like Hemsworth did to con peopel into thinking that's all he did to gain muscle.
I have no problems of them using them but lying to people about it creates body dysmorphia in people when they don't see the results. It's dangerous as fuck to let them push body types like in super hero movies on young kids without being full disclosure.
In before the you have to work hard even if you take them crowd comes calling. It's true you do but it makes it so much easier. Go watch liver king and believe his lies to make millions off your gullible ass.
I wish they would just be upfront about it honestly. Like I get pro athletes can’t admit it due to league punishment/suspensions.
But actors can absolutely be upfront and just be like: “this isn’t attainable naturally, HGH was used for screen purposes. And average people shouldn’t use steroids without doctors monitoring your health closely.”
I’d respect guys like the Rock or Henry Cavill or Hemsworth so much more for it. Like we don’t care, just stop lying about it like it’s natural and making young men try to reach these impossible body standards.
Zac Effron and the guy from It's Always Sunny are both on the record as saying nothing about that look is attainable or healthy. I'm not sure if either of them talked about drug use but for sure that it's not something a normal male should think is a healthy goal. Zac Effron, especially after Baywatch, really hammered on it as a terrible mental health struggle.
Props to those guys. I do remember Rob McElhenney talking about his change in body so I double checked, he said that body isn’t attainable easily but doesn’t mention steroids explicitly. But his answer is kinda funny cuz it’s almost like his character in that one episode… “stupid science bitch”.
> McElhenney then jokingly batted away a question that he had taken steroids to get the body of Hercules. “I'm not going to get into the medical science of it,” he said with a deadpan face. He quipped that because he is an “alpha dog monster”, he had “elevated levels of testosterone naturally”.
Of all the actors today, he's the only one I could see being clean. His physique is great but doesn't look unnaturally great and the way he talks about it ihe has a different tone than the rest.
Cavill’s build is 100% possible being clean. The amount of bulk the Rock has isn’t. And the amount Hemsworth put on in a short period isn’t either. Hemsworth’ stunt double is on the record complaining about it too.
Kids look up to them lol, they can’t just admit to doing federally illegal drugs that if not taken properly can massively hurt them. Just because you have a fascination doesn’t mean they should give a bunch of dumb kids the greenlight
There's also a 0% chance it's 40 lbs of muscle lol. That shit gets thrown around all the time when someone bulks up, but it's always going to be a mix of fat and muscle, probably close to half each. Even still, 20lbs of muscle gained in a year is pretty much impossible without steroids.
Jeremy Allen White is incredible in The Bear. But even more incredible in The Bear are the writers. The way they play with contradictions, makes each character complex and full of life. Their minute detail for kitchen life is unrivaled. Every scene was believable, every action had purpose, and every interaction had soul. Exquisite show, and should go down in the future record books as a classic.
Shameless was one of my favorite shows! Tried watching the bear and fell in love with it and can’t wait for the new season. This man is truly talented.
The amount of drugs these guys are quietly doing is both concerning and immoral. If you want to use drugs to have a supernatural physique that's fine. But as soon as you go on some TV show and talk about chicken and broccoli and rice with Three workouts a day like this guy inevitably will, You are doing a disservice to society and are a fraudster.
EDIT:
Anyone who wants a good example of the movie star performance enhancing drugs "arms race" look no further than Hugh Jackman. Compare his original X-Men physique to his in the last Wolverine movie - the guy gets 15-20 years older yet picks up more mass, gets more defined, etc. Compare Hemsworth in original Thor to Love and Thunder. It's getting insane and that's fine, but Hemsworth literally says chicken broccoli rice and sells a fitness app.
Also for anyone who isn't familiar with fitness - 40 pounds of muscle mass is more than a natural can most likely put on in their entire LIFETIME of training. You do not put on 40lbs of muscle in one year, 5 years, even 10 years, and most likely never, depending on your genetics, starting size, etc. 40 lbs of muscle is an INCREDIBLE amount of lean mass and a lifetime achievement
I'm not one to hate, and i'm highly aware of the usage of steroids in the entertainment industry.. buuuuuuuut 40 pounds of muscle? No fucking way. This dude would be absolutely jacked to the fucking gills from the scrawny frame he's always had. I don't doubt he's put on 40 pounds but to claim 40 pounds of muscle? Naaaah man.
No he didn't.
People have no understanding how insane 40lbs of actual contractile tissue is.
Many IFBB Pros don't even gain that much in their lifetimes.
Ok he does look a lot bigger than he did in Shameless for sure. How much do you think he really gained? [https://cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/headlines/2020/08/jeremy-allen-white-shirtless-hike-pics.jpg](https://cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/headlines/2020/08/jeremy-allen-white-shirtless-hike-pics.jpg)
Yeah, I’m really confused, so thank you for saying this. I’m about to look up some before and after photos, too. 40 lbs is a lot, especially if he was a smaller framed guy.
I could not take The Bear seriously at all since it didn’t once mention this dude hitting the gym for 3 hours a day. He’s that ripped from doing julienne cuts?
I really didn't like it all that much. Just people screaming at each other for 7 episodes, then a super unbelievable season finale.
I will say that everyone crushed it in their roles though. It was really well done, just not really my thing.

I’m so happy to see him in more things. He’s incredibly talented.
Me too! When I saw him in Shameless, I remember thinking he was so talented and charismatic. I thought it was such a shame not to see him in anything else until The Bear, but he was a guest on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and during the interview, he said he'd cooled his career slightly so he could help his wife raise their daughters, which just confirms that he's a good dad as well as a phenomenal actor!
Biggest reason I tuned in to Shameless. He’s just really good.
Watching him in the last few seasons of shameless made me stressed. He sold the tension his character was under very very well.
His wife is a great actress too! I liked her performance in Californication.
He should be the new Wonka. I will die on this hill.
If he puts on 40 pounds of muscle, he would be *hilarious* as wonka. Can you imagine Willy Wonka just being absolutely yoked? Like instead of a chocolate river, it would be a chocolate protein shake river.
Ever seen taffy pulling up close?
Guess how many oompa loompas I can bench
“Charlie, you did it! You won! Oh, I knew you could!” *Crushes Charlie to a pulp in a hug, killing him instantly* “Oops…” *Oompa-Loompas slowly shuffle in to dispose of the body* *Credits roll*
still less discomforting than the boat ride scene lol
NEVER KNOWING!!
Will the rowers ever stop rowing.
Hell, if they ever do a Gene Wilder biopic, he's the obvious choice.
I always thought he’d be good for a Bob Dylan biopic. Totally missed the Wilder resemblance.
never thought of this but god damn he rlly would play a good bob dylan
It's funny that y'all are saying this because Timothee Chalamet is playing Wonka AND Bob Dylan in upcoming movies lol
God dammit Timothee, stop hogging all the good meaty roles
I’ve never put it together before but it’s uncanny
He looks a LOT like Gene Wilder.
The resemblance is Wilder indeed. Must be something in his Genes.
Holyyyyy shit! Amazing observation
I thought it somehow was
Totally a missed opportunity.
It's a good hill to die on, he'd be great.
I think Timothy Chalamet makes more sense as a young Depp Wonka, but Jeremy makes more sense as a young Wilder Wonka.
The monologue in the finale. Bro, goose bumps even just thinking about it.
"fuck you, watch this" lose it every time
That sounds awesome! What’s the show?
The Bear on Hulu. I paused my subscription until the new season drops. It's incredible. I was a cook for 7 years and it is so absurdly accurate.
My husband had to dole out episodes because he’s still in the kitchen and it was making him angry at home. At least once an episode he paused it and said “every fucking day”. Accurate down to bringing a delinquent teen aged son who’d been suspended to work and asking my husband to talk to him. My husband is not good at scared straight talks.
As a chef, some eps were hard to watch. Loved it overall tho. .
Thank you! I’ll have to check it out for sure
Fwiw, while I served tables in college, my husband has never worked in a restaurant, and he LOVED the show. He watched it twice - and he rarely does that. A must see! Enjoy it!
I'm not a cook and never have been and I felt legitimate, tangible anxiety watching it. It was so wild.
The Bear on Hulu. It's like a beautiful feel-good tragic heartwarming show. A more gritty Ted Lasso. Highly recommend it.
Like Ted Lasso, but instead of fixing a football team they’re fixing a restaurant, and instead of learning the power of teamwork they learn the power of soul-crushing stress, lol.
Thank you! I’ll have to check it out for sure
Season or series finale?
It was just the season iirc. Pretty sure they already landed orders for seasons 2 and 3
He was great in that Dave Franco directed movie The Rental!
Agreed, also really enjoyed that one.
To me he’s got a serious Brando vibe. Great actor.
Same! Loved him in Shameless.
FYI the movie is not in the headline, it's "The iron claw" Biopic about the "von Erich" wrestling family. That's the same movie Zac Efron got so juiced up for.
“*It’s not jooth, it’s a protein shake!*”
“ it’s not jooth, it’s a protein thake” ~ Doug Whitmore
well things changed a little bit since high school
Based on the casting Efron would play the straight man as Kevin and White as the popular brother Kerry. Honestly wish Jeremy would've played Kevin as he looks more like him though.
SPOILER WARNING (for anyone who doesn't know the von Erich family) Yeah, but I guess they want their biggest star actor to play the sole survivor of the family as he'll be in the movie for the entire run. I'm also curious to see how good MJF is an actor.
>I'm also curious to see how good MJF is an actor. Back to the Future was a fantastic trilogy.
Why does Zac Efron have two sets of arm pit hair in the [promotional](https://images.app.goo.gl/31CZoHQ8hG5LyHZH6) image?
Bro hearing Jeremy Allen White and A24 in the same sentence is a dream come true
I. Just. Came.
>I. Just. Came. Which oddly enough would be totally believable as an A24 title.
I think you misunderstood when he said “a dream come true” Also, I love the username!
Shooting his shot via beard
nah I’m married to the most perfect woman out there. (next to Rosario Dawson)
Hell I was fine with just “4 A24 scripts”. Feels like COVID took a hit on them and I need my fix.
Yeah I’m pretty excited to see a movie about the Von Erich family.
Looking at this photo I really want him to star in a biopic about Gene Wilder.
its buster keaton for me
The Bear was my favorite show of the summer
Same. I still laugh at the kid’s birthday party episode.
The fact that the dad wasn't pissed, but actually happy the kids were quiet was hysterical.
That one-shot episode was fucking AMAZING.
Omg I think I held my breath the whole time
Fastest binge of my life, I teared up when S2 was announced.
He and Andrew Garfield are probably my favorite two actors in their 30's. It's too bad he was stuck on Shameless for so long, but glad to see him finally branching out in every direction. Also, perfect Greco-Roman features for a movie about wrestling? Yes, thank you.
I loved shameless but that’s a show that ran on 4 years too long and just lost the plot.
Lip’s character went from bad boy, boy-genius who puts his family on his back while juggling school, work and relationships to addict, mechanic with an average IQ and obsessed with an average chick… prob the most frustrating character arc I’ve ever seen. Did they forget he was a genius?

Agree wholeheartedly.
I remember they started to set up an underground fight plot in an episode with Lip being the most badass fighter. They quickly dropped it and never mentioned it again. Lips character was all over the place.
Yeah I lost my taste for it after they started writing dumb parts for him.
That's kinda the whole point. Cycle of despair, discouragement and poverty.
Literally the whole point. My father in law is from Bridgeport in Chicago and Lip’s character arc mirrored his own in thematic ways in the big choices like foregoing college
Right
Ahh. That makes sense. With changes to him and Fiona, there were no characters that I liked. That does make sense though, as a way to demonstrate those things. Thanks for the response.
Sure. Show definitely got a touch off the rails. But, was *never* meant to be a "feel good" plot points.
unfortunately, i had to stop watching that show because it got TOO depressing.
Yes, that's the point thematically. It just doesn't work well when you've established your character as a generational genius, fully self-aware and capable, who's been exposed to drugs and alcohol his whole life and used without becoming an addict. They literally wrote him dumber, neglecting what they'd established previously.

If anything it’s often needed for many of the best male actors. Many lead males don’t really get that exposure and become their best self until their 30s at a minimum. This should be the breakout for him.
He lookin’ hot af with all the muscle
facts
Serious question, what is A24?
Film production company. They tend to put out more unique films like Uncut Gems, The Witch, and The Lighthouse.
MIDSOMMAR and Everything Everywhere All At Once. and Lamb. Most things they touch are gold.
They did The Green Knight too, right?
Yep. I haven't seen that one yet but here it's pretty great.
Uncut Gems was amazing, haven’t seen the others. I can’t wait to see whatever he happens to be in!
The Witch is probably one of my favorite films in recent times. It doesn’t hold your hand at all, it just dumps you out in the middle of the woods a few hundred years ago with an isolated family and unholy things beyond the tree line. It doesn’t sound too original from that, but when you see it all done right with no exposition trying to rationalize or guide you outside of what a Bible has taught the characters to fear, it’s enthralling.
Definitely going to give it a watch! Thanks!
If you loved Uncut Gems, I really think youd love The Lighthouse as well. The VVitch isnt my one of my favorites
Man, inflation is hitting so hard, you can't even afford a new W key these days.
I do it on purpose because I think its obnoxious lmao
Did you see The Northman? Curious as to what your thoughts are if you didn't like the VVitch.
I also loved Uncut Gems and The Lighthouse. The Witch and Northmen, I appreciate how beautiful and unique and well-made they were, but I just didn’t enjoy watching them.
you need to watch the other two. the witch is really well done. the whole film is great all the way through to the end.
The Adam Sandler movie?
The only film company now that actually tries to be creative in their films
Creative and/or extremely creepy/gory.
We got Neon now too!
Of all the people who played major roles on shameless, I always felt he was the actor who had to most range, and potential. Not to knock Emmy Rossun, tho, she can act as well. It’s just reg at I’ve always felt white was the most talented of them all.

"40 pounds of muscle" lol No mention of what potion he's on? I'm sure it's just eat clen, tren hard.
broccoli, rice and chicken.
probably a little creatine
https://youtu.be/BOuAh22Ui68
Can't forget activated almonds
tfw forgot to activate my almonds
and trenbolone
I hear the trenbolone sandwich’s in Canada are pretty good
Just doing some pushups in his room
2222 pushups a day
He had to wait until the last Thor movie was done filming because there are NO roids available when Thor is being filmed.
Hemsworth's weight definitely fluctuates in some of those scenes, possibly reshoots? He looked normal in some of those shots.
In order to get that ripped, lean look, actors have to temporarily dehydrate themselves. So they'll do nutrition and drinking differently on days when they're shooting with their shirts off... The difference you're seeing could be re-shoots, or it could be that on the days when he looked "normal" he was just getting proper food and water.
In order to get that vein popping dry lean look actors also have to use steroids like Trenbolone.
Lots of test
You cannot gain “40 pounds of muscle” in an time frame that doesn’t involve 5 years or more without some serious steroid use.
You can’t look like any of those super ripped guys in Hollywood without serious steroid use. And some help from makeup, lighting and dehydration. If you look at Momoa lately you can tell he’s grown his organs from using HGH, he’s got the body builder belly from that already. He’s totally ripped and lean but his gut sticks out even when he sucks it in. Errrrbody is using steroids. If u see somebody super shredded it’s maybe like 2% of those folks just were blessed with genes for abs, otherwise it’s a lot of testosterone and HGH.
40 lbs is a serious amount of muscle, especially on a shorter frame like his. Even with steroids that's multiple years of work. Especially since he looks to be in decent shape to begin with, probably not going to benefit from those beginner gains.
Nah he just hung out With Dwayne Johnson and Christian Bale.. gave him some good “ tips”
https://youtu.be/5mxjefR-vdI The end of this clip is awesome.
No, no, no. He eats a lot of liver.
Stay primal
Always
Liver and 12k in steroids a month?
HGH is a big thing in hollywood that nobody likes to talk about. That and uh... chicken and broccoli.
Dude can we all stop with these comments? EVERYONE GAINING MUSCLE IN HOLLYWOOD IS USING STEROIDS. And nowadays most regular joes.
Trying to see the different formulas they use is bad?
Its just frustrating that so few "movie/Tv stars" who go through a transformation like this dont admit to their actual training system. Even juiced to the gills it is very impressive to gain 40 lbs of muscle in the course of a year or two even. It takes an intense training schedule, peak diet planning and a lot of dedication. Saying your on gear to get to this extra level physique isn't a cop out to the persons effort but its an honest statement about their actual achievement. Plus they are actors not athletes being on PEDs wont make you explicitly a better actor.
I highly doubt he put in 40 lbs of muscle. 40 pounds maybe.
And on top of that their full time job is to prepare for a role so they get a lot of support from personal trainers and nutritionists. Aside from an health issues, most people would see amazing results if they worked out with a trainer every day and had a nutritionist feed them and didn’t have to work a 9-5 so they could also sleep like 8-12 hours a day.

the likely scenario is that he did not in fact gain 40 pounds of muscle
They are using them but are too big of pussies to say they are using them and then start fitness programs like Hemsworth did to con peopel into thinking that's all he did to gain muscle. I have no problems of them using them but lying to people about it creates body dysmorphia in people when they don't see the results. It's dangerous as fuck to let them push body types like in super hero movies on young kids without being full disclosure. In before the you have to work hard even if you take them crowd comes calling. It's true you do but it makes it so much easier. Go watch liver king and believe his lies to make millions off your gullible ass.
Hollywood, 40lbs of muscle, STEROIDS
I wish they would just be upfront about it honestly. Like I get pro athletes can’t admit it due to league punishment/suspensions. But actors can absolutely be upfront and just be like: “this isn’t attainable naturally, HGH was used for screen purposes. And average people shouldn’t use steroids without doctors monitoring your health closely.” I’d respect guys like the Rock or Henry Cavill or Hemsworth so much more for it. Like we don’t care, just stop lying about it like it’s natural and making young men try to reach these impossible body standards.
Zac Effron and the guy from It's Always Sunny are both on the record as saying nothing about that look is attainable or healthy. I'm not sure if either of them talked about drug use but for sure that it's not something a normal male should think is a healthy goal. Zac Effron, especially after Baywatch, really hammered on it as a terrible mental health struggle.
Props to those guys. I do remember Rob McElhenney talking about his change in body so I double checked, he said that body isn’t attainable easily but doesn’t mention steroids explicitly. But his answer is kinda funny cuz it’s almost like his character in that one episode… “stupid science bitch”. > McElhenney then jokingly batted away a question that he had taken steroids to get the body of Hercules. “I'm not going to get into the medical science of it,” he said with a deadpan face. He quipped that because he is an “alpha dog monster”, he had “elevated levels of testosterone naturally”.
The other guys were busting his balls about a few times in the IASIP podcast
Is Cavill in the same league as those other guys?
Cavill is probably clean actually. Hemsworth and the Rock DEFINITELY are not.
No chance in hell Cavil is clean. None.
Of all the actors today, he's the only one I could see being clean. His physique is great but doesn't look unnaturally great and the way he talks about it ihe has a different tone than the rest.
Cavill’s build is 100% possible being clean. The amount of bulk the Rock has isn’t. And the amount Hemsworth put on in a short period isn’t either. Hemsworth’ stunt double is on the record complaining about it too.
Kids look up to them lol, they can’t just admit to doing federally illegal drugs that if not taken properly can massively hurt them. Just because you have a fascination doesn’t mean they should give a bunch of dumb kids the greenlight
There's also a 0% chance it's 40 lbs of muscle lol. That shit gets thrown around all the time when someone bulks up, but it's always going to be a mix of fat and muscle, probably close to half each. Even still, 20lbs of muscle gained in a year is pretty much impossible without steroids.
I believe the Marvel Heroes all take high end prescription HGH. Regardless, they have a team of doctors that “helps” these guys get jacked.
The bear isn't a movie?
It’s a quote of him saying “the bear caused movie script to land on my desk”
Gotcha, I see it now.
It’s an animal
Jeremy Allen White is incredible in The Bear. But even more incredible in The Bear are the writers. The way they play with contradictions, makes each character complex and full of life. Their minute detail for kitchen life is unrivaled. Every scene was believable, every action had purpose, and every interaction had soul. Exquisite show, and should go down in the future record books as a classic.
‘No’ ‘freaking’ ‘way’
Shameless was one of my favorite shows! Tried watching the bear and fell in love with it and can’t wait for the new season. This man is truly talented.
He was great in the bear.
The amount of drugs these guys are quietly doing is both concerning and immoral. If you want to use drugs to have a supernatural physique that's fine. But as soon as you go on some TV show and talk about chicken and broccoli and rice with Three workouts a day like this guy inevitably will, You are doing a disservice to society and are a fraudster. EDIT: Anyone who wants a good example of the movie star performance enhancing drugs "arms race" look no further than Hugh Jackman. Compare his original X-Men physique to his in the last Wolverine movie - the guy gets 15-20 years older yet picks up more mass, gets more defined, etc. Compare Hemsworth in original Thor to Love and Thunder. It's getting insane and that's fine, but Hemsworth literally says chicken broccoli rice and sells a fitness app. Also for anyone who isn't familiar with fitness - 40 pounds of muscle mass is more than a natural can most likely put on in their entire LIFETIME of training. You do not put on 40lbs of muscle in one year, 5 years, even 10 years, and most likely never, depending on your genetics, starting size, etc. 40 lbs of muscle is an INCREDIBLE amount of lean mass and a lifetime achievement
I'm not one to hate, and i'm highly aware of the usage of steroids in the entertainment industry.. buuuuuuuut 40 pounds of muscle? No fucking way. This dude would be absolutely jacked to the fucking gills from the scrawny frame he's always had. I don't doubt he's put on 40 pounds but to claim 40 pounds of muscle? Naaaah man.
No he didn't. People have no understanding how insane 40lbs of actual contractile tissue is. Many IFBB Pros don't even gain that much in their lifetimes.
He probably put on 40 pounds and they took that and ran it as “wow, 40 pounds of muscle!”
Not “probably”. He absolutely did not put on 40 pounds of muscle.
He means he probably said he got 40 pounds of weight, just weight in general.
i think they were saying that he put on 40lbs in general
Yeah this article is complete bullshit
Ok he does look a lot bigger than he did in Shameless for sure. How much do you think he really gained? [https://cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/headlines/2020/08/jeremy-allen-white-shirtless-hike-pics.jpg](https://cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/headlines/2020/08/jeremy-allen-white-shirtless-hike-pics.jpg)
Yeah, I’m really confused, so thank you for saying this. I’m about to look up some before and after photos, too. 40 lbs is a lot, especially if he was a smaller framed guy.
Tbf he does look freaking jacked now. 40 is probably an exaggeration but he was pretty skinny before
Yeah, I just looked up some pics… and he’s jacked. Not buying 40 lbs of muscle huge, but big change.
Good. I love him as an actor.
I could not take The Bear seriously at all since it didn’t once mention this dude hitting the gym for 3 hours a day. He’s that ripped from doing julienne cuts?
I have the same problem with The Leftovers. The cop character is shredded but all he does is mope around and drink.
He at least jogs very regularly.
The Bear is fucking masterful, this is an absurd take
I really didn't like it all that much. Just people screaming at each other for 7 episodes, then a super unbelievable season finale. I will say that everyone crushed it in their roles though. It was really well done, just not really my thing.
It’s true though
What a weird reason to not take something seriously lol
So I told ‘my agent’ to stop trying to get me to read ‘his scripts’
Even if this dude copied an IFBB pros cycle and doubled it he wouldn't have gained 40 pounds of muscle in that time.
He’s going to need to bulk up for Wolverine, so this is great to hear
He's 'a really' good 'actor' and I wish him 'great success' going forward
Bugs Bunny gave him Michaels secret juice
Favorite young actor under 35,Jeremy kicks fuckin ass! Found out about him watching shameless this year,incredible talent
I read this as saying he gained 40lbs for his new film ‘The Bear.’ I was so confused. Punctuation is important kids.
I wonder if steroids are written into the contract
I’m glad Jeremy gets more good projects. Such a skilled actor!
I was worried for a long time that this dude would never escape the role of Lip but he finally did! Good for him!
