Wentworth Miller Slams Meme Mocking His Weight

So much yes. 

I know it’s frustrating to see the media picking on anyone for their body type, but I feel like guys who are known for having these really super-heroic physiques get it in a way that people still treat as being more “socially acceptable” to make fun of or something. Maintaining those silver-screen-ready ratios of fat to muscle is basically a job, like, the amount of time you need to put into diet and exercise and all that sponges up a whole lot of free time you could put into other things you enjoy. Some people work out extensively and build those physiques because that IS their hobby, other people get in that shape for a job and when the job is over they want to do something besides planning their day around specialized meals and workouts.

I see this happen to almost every action star in their down time. Pictures of Vin Diesel with a little paunch getting passed around with commentary like “the fat and the furious”, pictures of 68 year old Arnold Schwarzenegger alongside his 1975 Mr. Olympia self asking “what happened”, people saying Dolph Lundgren “let himself go” because his abs weren’t as crazy defined as Stallone’s in the Expendables (especially when Stallone has spoken in interviews about dealing with body dysmorphia in recent years). These guys are human beings with families and lives, and don’t owe it to anybody to look like action figures if they don’t feel like being in action figure shape when they’re not being paid to. It’s like when people get angry about Carrie Fisher having the audacity to age and have a life outside of being a 1980 princess Leia pinup, these guys aren’t the characters they play either, they aren’t frozen in time, and they don’t owe you anything because they played a character you liked years ago.
