10 Actors Who Went Unnecessarily Muscular For Movie Roles

10. Jai Courtney - Kyle Reese (Terminator Genisys)

As a huge fan of James Cameron’s 1984 movie The Terminator, I was cautiously optimistic at the prospect of revisiting the events of the film in 2015’s Terminator Genisys. As soon as Jai Courtney stepped into the time machine naked, however, I knew I was a fool to have been.

Perhaps when Courtney’s agents called to tell him he'd landed the lead role in the new Terminator movie, he thought he’d be playing the T-800, and not somewhat-scrawny human resistance fighter Kyle Reese? Perhaps Courtney had never seen Michael Biehn's original portrayal and didn’t realise the physique he was rocking was that of a man twice the size? Or perhaps he just didn’t care and wanted a double-page spread in Men’s Health magazine?

Either way, his chiseled body completely takes you out of the movie. How would Kyle Reese, a man fighting for his life in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, have the freedom, the resources, and access to that much protein, to achieve a body like Jai Courtney’s?
