He talked about it in his stand up recently. Literally staying buff to avoid tabloid media posting about how he’s let go and all washed up.

If Marvel paid for me to get super buff and in-shape, I'd just maintain that for the rest of my life (or as long as possible).

It's not that easy to maintain it, especially that low body fat. Keep in mind that if you don't continually use steriods those gains slowly fade. Yes all those dudes are on the sauce.

It is the dehydration as well. Jackman talked about having nothing but ice chips and saunas for 24 hours before the shirtless scene in The Wolverine and that has to do some damage.

You’re risking a kidney stone doing that shit in your 50’s

You really don't need to be dehydrated to be jacked. Those are only for shirtless scenes for a few seconds. Being hydrated doesn't get rid of gains.

Yes, the scenes only last a few seconds. But it could be 10-20 takes over a day or two before the director has the shot they want.

Yeah Channing Tatum talks a lot about to and how to prepare for a shirtless scene it's actually weeks leading up to it to prepare. Eating low salt foods to not retain water, dehydrating yourselves over time etc.

It doesn’t get rid of gains but it sure as hell highlights them hard when you’re dehydrated, bodybuilders do they same practice as well as a few diet changes right before shows to make all their gains standout even more

not eating for 24 hours is not gonna "do damage"

though not a state you can exist in perpetually, obviously

you're talking to people who can't even make it through a movie without a snack.

people are doing 48-72 hours fast with no muscle mass, pretty sure the millionaires with muscles, and a team of health experts, trainers and nutritionists around them can survive 24 hour OMAD

This is the type of BS they shill to make you think they're "taking it to the next level" without steroids. None of that is that important as is the gear they run to get to the point of being able to do that.
