For our movie groupie fan's: Film, even the studio shots, will put on 15 to 20 lbs on everyone. Reynolds is skinny, with less body fat, which gives the illusion of muscle mass. He is also a one trick pony as an actor. Lighting & shot angles can make just about anyone appear much better than they really are in real life. Like Reynolds did in Blade. Pitt looked the same way in Fight Club. Pitt has very good muscle inserts (muscle belly's) and body frame, which add's to his better look on film. In Troy he was impressive, which led to the question from my girl friend "Is he using?". Probably a mild dose of something or other, along with selected training. And of course a massive dose of Angeline Jolie, who has him completly pussie whipped. Eward Norton, in American History X looked like he packed on real muscle for that role. That was shot under B&W film and somewhat flat lighting. In the first Rocky movie, Ken Norton (the boxer) was lined up to do the Creed role. Trouble was he looked twice the size of Sly, in and out of the ring. (Side Bar: saw Ken Norton once in Hawaii... extra broad back and shoulders...Big & Tall). That how Weathers, who didn't dwarf that little guy, Sly, that much, got the role. Good Luck.
