      And don’t forget the intentional dehydration for topless scenes. Hugh Jackman has been very open about that.

      The good ones, under doctor supervision. If youre someone who doesnt think they’re on gear you’re a sweet summer child of the most innocence.

      Mostly testosterone for building the muscle base probably, then potentially something like anavar (oral oxandrolone) for a few weeks before filming the shirtless scenes, as orals make you temporarily blow up with water and glycogen. Could be some use of diuretics before filming, too - they definitely use water manipulation/restriction to get that ultra-lean look on the day. I’ve only included drugs you could feasibly get from the doctor, rather than anything too exotic. I do, however, guarantee they all used a significant amount of steroids in addition to the extremely strict diet and training they are very keen to talk about.

        My favorite part about all that work is that it’s undone literally that same night, when they eat and drink like a normal person.
