    I remember I thought he looked fucking huge.

    I feel sorry for the boys growing up now looking at all these roided out monsters thinking they need to look like that to be good looking. In the 90’s we had actual regular sized people as the peak male specimen.

      I was just thinking that. Not trying to toot my own horn but I look pretty damn close to him. I started working out/lifting seriously in 2012.

      Now you have to be the Chris Hemsworth performance enhancing actor generation to be “huge.” He wouldn’t be considered shit nowadays, but back then you could just be dedicated and shredded. Now you have to be on gear too.

        Then again there were enormous pro wrestlers in the 80s who made Vin Diesel look tiny, so the performance enhancement look definitely isn’t that new to the public.

    And this year, he got paid millions of dollars to repeat one line for a whole ass movie… for the third time in a row.

      It’s crazy he (technically) starred in the top two movies at the box office at the time, Fast X and GotG 3.

      It was Neo’s sunglasses in the Matrix that was the shit back then Even though people wanted Morpheus’ sunnies. No one could pull it off except Lawrence Fishburne

    Fuck this gave me the craziest mental whiplash!! My dad watched a ton of movies w/ me and I inevitably told my childhood teacher that “my favorite movie was XXX” thinking it was the most badass shit ever.

    On that note, for such a prideful dude he wore some goofy shit
