seems like he could just get to 160 and be fine. I think he is fancying himself as a McConoughey or Bale…it seems really unnecessary for this role unless the character has cancer or something which it doesn't appear to be the case based on the trailer.

I bet 137 is way closer to his healthy weight than 197.

yeah I would guess he stays around 160-165 normally when he's not getting roiled up for certain roles like Pain and Gain. in most movies he's a normal size with some defined arms and no body fat. he's not very tall so I would think shredded he would be under 160

Agreed that it's probably closer to his normal weight, but he does apparently stay in good shape and hit the weights a lot. He's probably consistently around 170 or so, though I bet at 5'8" he could be in the 140s to 150s and look like he should if he was working a normal 9 to 5 and didn't need to be an action movie star.

Some do, some dont. Christian Bale looks completely normal. Matthew McConaughey still looks like a fricked up alien though

If he is 5'8 then Liam Neeson is 7'6. He is 5'5 tops.

looks an inch or 2 taller than Mila Kunis who is only 5'4", I'd say more like 5' 6", bet he wears a lot of platforms for movies like Invincible so he doesn't look like such a shrimp next to athletes.

either way dropping THAT MUCH weight! sheesh,, that's a lotta speed, grapefruit and sunflower seeds.

Okay. Every source on the internet is wrong. You're right because you've seen him on a giant movie screen.
