Just having a little fun today. Sometimes when reviewing client goals, they may say “I want a similar look to so-and-so from “Dancing with the Stars”. Yes dancers have great physiques and the costumes really showcase their ripped bodies. So it got me thinking, who has the best Hollywood Body out there? Tough choice………And yes I just watched a special on E TV—the show was Best and Worst Bodies in Hollywood –mean, right?
How about of all-time? Hmm…..How about this, the top 20 Actors of Film or TV who got in amazing shape for their role. And yes, I’ve watched many movies and way too much TV…………
Here are my rules:
I watched the Movie or TV show or my wife was watching and I caught a glimpse…..
No steroids or nip & tuck
No Twilight (too young)
No Matthew McConaughey (He just bugs me, the Bongo thing)
Superhero Costume Rule –all right you have to actually fit in the thing and no painted ABS – Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney and Toby Maguire, sorry ---but Toby was close…………………
So through the process of elimination –Sorry Arnold, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Matthew, Pamela Anderson and Taylor Lautner. With that said, here is my Top 20 Actors of all-time, who worked hard and built what some people may say “Perfect Bodies” and made audiences, say WTF ---
20) Yes I love train wrecks, but Jersey Shore. If you’re married, watching this show is a very inexpensive form of birth-control, you’ll never want children! But the star of the show makes the top 20----- Give the guy credit, “the Situation” makes my list.
19) Yes I’m old and I’m going back to the seventies. But as a teenager seeing Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C. –that was Hot Stuff!
18) I have to go with my Boston Boys and yes, they have to come in together. They are a team like Dean and Jerry without the 20 year hate and jealously and not talking to each other period. Ben Affleck in The Town and Matt Damon in Invictus. Both guys got in amazing shape, but don’t blink; you’ll miss the scenes that showcase their physiques. Normally, Hollywood likes to exploit this, but not here.
17) The year was 1976 –Best Picture –Rocky. Sly wasn’t in quite the shape that his opponent was. And in Rocky II Apollo Creed was lean and mean!
16) James Bond is supposed to be lanky and pale white –times have changed. Daniel Craig is not your mother’s James Bond. I wonder if he still cares if his martini is shaken instead of stirred? 2006's Casino Royale
15) I’m going old school, 80’s style…... I may be the only person who watched this movie –I want my money back! Maybe not, Demi Moore was amazing looking in Striptease. Just fast forward to the good parts 00:42, 1:13
14) Hank Azaria, what??? –The guy who does some of the voices on the Simpsons? Yes that guy. Along Came Polly in 2004 and Hank was walking around in his “Banana Hammock” bathing Suit –thank God we got to see Jennifer Aniston.
13) Remember the Terminator? How about the sequel? Linda Hamilton was ripped……sorry again Arnold, you’re out!
12) Hugh Jackman in Wolverine should have ranked higher. But the haircut, I have to deduct points. I just wanted him to fix it –like he was driving around and through a tunnel with the top-down. But he was in shape……
11) Just missing the top ten ---your Boy, Brad Pitt in Troy. I don’t think I made it through the entire movie, not good. I think I threw up in my mouth several times.
My Top Ten
10) This is my wife’s pick. But I spent money on the movie Bubble Boy, please Jake no. Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia.
9) Many guys have her as number 1 –I have her in at 9 – Into the Blue she was smoking.
8) Ryan Reynolds in Blade. Can a comic play a Vampire Slayer? I guess so…….
7) Underworld –my wife has watched this movie over 100 times- and Kate Beckinsale does look HOT in tight black clothes, or not……….
6) Yes he’s MIA. But Jean-Claude Van Damme made us laugh and cry in Universal Soldier. I never knew a mannequin could kick so high –just kidding, Not………
WHO’S YOUR TOP FIVE??
5) Does Jessica Simpson count as an actress? And there’s nothing wrong with thinking that Chicken of the Sea is really chicken, it’s confusing. Yes, she made a movie, Dukes of Hazzard. But the real question does Dukes of Hazzard count as a movie? Some movies you should never admit to watching –sorry I just punched myself for giving up 2 hours of my life……..
4) Jennifer Garner –How can a women that adorable and sweet look that good and look like she can kick your ass----well she can…see Electra.
3) Some of you may say. Who is this guy? How about One Tree Hill? Yes but True Blood on HBO has people taking notice. Why is it that Vampires and Werewolves are always running around bare-ass. I guess it’s because it’s HBO and they can show anything. Joe Manganiello who plays Alcide the Wolf Boy doesn’t own a shirt, may be the star attraction. The show is Caligula for the supernatural……
2) He set the bar very high –Sly is the man, he started this whole fit actor thing and he continues today –1985’s Rocky IV he may shown audiences his best physique –3-5% bodyfat – just take a look at the transformation from Rocky to the Expendables amazing. Don’t forget about Cop Land –HEY he wanted to look like a real police officer…….
1) Yes my family loved 7th Heaven…..who knew Mary Camden would grow up to be the hottest girl on the planet. Yes Jessica Biel is number 1----see Blade 3 or anything she stars in --we thank you Jessica!
