    Physical traits of a star you wish you had

    Lemme clarify...For example, take your weakest area (or not necessarily your weakest but an area you wish looked different/ was stronger) and pick an athlete or movie star that has/had the look you desire. Take me for instance, my forearms are probably my weakest area and if I could have the forearms of anyone I would say Bruce Lee. I'll try and find a pic that really shows it off, but for his size he had some RIDICULOUS forearms.

    What about you guys?

    I'm sorry, but I'm just going to go with the overall here, and say one of two people, either: (1) Matthew McConaughey or (2) Ryan Reynolds.

    Vernon Gholston's arms and, well, everything. Not really a star, but most stars have little bitch physiques anyway.

    hahah, well I knew the thread was gonna go in this direction.

    Going back to the original intention of this topic... I meantioned stars or athletes Hockey, and altho Bruce Lee was not a big dude, the proportions of his forearms were insane. His lat spread was pretty ridiculous too. Pretty amazing that a guy of his size could have such insane proportions.

    Heres a pic of his lat spread. I cant find the forearm pic that I had in mind

    I always liked the idea of having Bruce Lee's lat spread/forearms as well.

    Brad Pitt of what era tho? Take Brad Pitt from Troy for example...I would hardly call the dude a stick then. If we are talkin about that version of Pitt then there is nothing wrong with looking like that at all. Or what about the version from Fight Club? Not a whole ton of bulk but he was ripped to all hell. Had a good fighters physique in that movie.

    Exactly. He is a good looking guy with a lean body. Really anyone can achieve his physique, it's just a matter of genetics whether you have the face to go with it.

    According to articles I read at the time of the movie's opening, even Brad Pitt didn't look like "Troy" Brad Pitt.

    You cant deny that the Brad Pitt of Troy and the Brad Pitt of, say, Fight Club are completely different tho. You got the Troy version which was, i would guess, a lean 200-210 pounds vs. the Fight Club Brad Pitt which was prolly 170.

    Brad Pitt was never a "built" guy, he always got his attention for his appearance.

    you're at least 20 lbs. too high on both estimates there. do you know what a lean 210 guy looks like at his height? it does not look like him from troy.

    anyways, the subject of brad pitt has been beat to death on these forums over the years. why the hell do i even get involved in these discussions anymore?

    I'm not trying to be "HUGE", I just want to look fit.

    I wouldn't mind looking like the rock:

    The Rock is pretty friggin huge tho lol...When he was at his peak in the WWE he was 275...atleast, thats what they stated he was. If you ask me that sounds a bit to high, but he is a very tall dude too. I think hes in the neighborhood of 6'5.

    Also RBB, Brad is something like 5'10, 5'11? I know he normally weighs in at 160 (atleast that is what is stated) and you cant say he didnt put on a a bit of bulk for Fight Club, so me saying he is 170 for that movie is not too outlandish. Now comparing his Troy Self to his Fight Club self he is noticably bigger. Maybe 210 is a bit high of an estimate, but I think 190-200 is not too far fetched.
