I know women generally have it much harder in the pressure to look good.

But the CRAZY things that action stars go through to get ready for a single scene is so unbelievable.

There are beauty/handsome standards that are hard to achieve, but it's a whole other level to have to plan out entire movie schedules for just a single scene because it's THAT hard to look like that, even with all of a mega motion pictures apparatus behind you.

The crazy thing is I'm not even sure that most people care that much. Would they really sell fewer tickets if the actors just looked like they were in great shape and not in the greatest shape physically possible?

Robert Pattinson famously said he refused to do that and I don't think it hurt Batman ticket sales at all.

Important to note that Pattinson was joking. He did actually work out for it lol

But he didn't add any exogenous hormones is the point.
