the movie with nick cage was kiss of death. he took. stallone for rocky 3 not sure bout others but def rocky 3 took. from his mouth. in the 80's the diet fad was low no fat. his diet was a lot of plain pasta with oil and vineger he took anavar and if i remember correctly winstrol. this came from a close friend who was with stallone one night when he was goin out with briget nielson. my friend is a lifter and was talkin bout how stallone was preppin for 4 and he said the same way he did for three which was no fat diet, anavar & winstrol. far as other actors, many think pitt in troy, and fight club, if that is the case then he did in snatch too. just cause pitts not bbr big doesnt mean he didnt or doesnt juice. people that are thin juice too. all depends on your goals. there are fighters that look like garbage and juice, who knows how many people that don't look it do and that look it that don't juice, probally more than one thinks. back to acting, you gotta understand the business, productions cost a lot of $, time is money so yes sometimes actors have a lot of pre-production time for prep but sometimes they don't and come the day your needed on set you had betyter be ready no matter what because the production does not stop. aside from physical prep for a feature there is the main prep that needs to be done and thats the acting. so that 6 months 24 hours a day to worry about working out is wrong. its very hard to learn and memorize a script let alone a leading role in that time, actors go through a tremendous amount of work. so they do have a lot more to do besides get in shape. 9 times out of 10 if you think an actor juices youprob right. rember its not a life style for them its need for work, a cosmetic means to an end if you will.
