When it comes to celebrities’ bodies and fitness, Hollywood is known for having high standards. Fans always want their favorite character from a movie to look like Henry Cavill in Superman or Chris Hemsworth in Thor. Besides giving an amazing performance in the movies, actors are also under constant pressure to present their physical selves in a captivating manner. Here is a list of Hollywood actors who did not meet the fans’ expectation of a fit and fine body and were body-shamed: –
Leonardo DiCaprio – For a great and one of the most talented actors in Hollywood, like Leonardo to get body-shamed sounds shocking. When the young heartthrob-turned-leading man went on vacation in 2014, his lack of a six-pack was mocked on the internet.
Vin Diesel – The world may know him as Dom Torreto from The Fast and Furious movie series, and many even like him for his action from the same movies, but very few know that he was body-shamed as well. When photographs of his stomach leaked online in 2015, it sent the internet into a frenzy.
Sam Smith – Howard Stern ridiculed the Grammy and Oscar winner with a compliment disguised as an attack. On his radio broadcast in 2015, Stern remarked that he loves certain aspects of Sam, including the fact that he’s an unattractive guy and that he’s obese.
Sam Claflin – The “Hunger Games” star claims that he, like his female coworkers, is under pressure to be small and fit. In a 2017 interview with The Sunday Morning Herald, he stated he gets so worked up that he spends hours and hours in the gym and doesn’t eat for weeks to get what he thinks people want.
Ben Affleck – The former big-screen Batman tweeted a satirical response to a 2018 New Yorker essay called “The Great Sadness of Ben Affleck,” which compared him to a donut-admiring Homer Simpson and described paparazzi photos with his tummy bulging outward. He claimed to be in good health and to have thick skin with garish tattoos.
