Charles Bronson in old movie Hard Times - too much lean for his age?

[Navigator]

He was 54 when this movie was made - for me, a he look too much lean for natural man in that age
He is not that big nor muscular...but when you talk about Hollywood actors and "fighting" movies like this PED also comes to mind
What do you think?

Give him the benefit. I am only a little younger and look better.....so will i get accused? Must anyone over 50 be obese and not lift now?

Having said this. I know of people that do say things like "Old men should be fat." It looks more manly to have at least a bit of gut at 50+....UNBELIEVABLE

I didn't say that you can't get lean when you are +50 but it's a little bit suspicious when we are talking about movie stars
Also when you hit 30s it's much harder to stay lean because your metabolism slows with your age, unlike in your 20s when you can eat various garbage and put on relatively small amount of fat
That raise question mark about PED when we are talking about celebrities

well i am 48....and look better. Just have to cut the *** out and work a little harder....

you make it sound like anyone that is over should be fat...getting lean, keeping lean is actually pretty easy. A lot easier than putting muscle on...as you get older.

It looks to me in your eyes anyone over that looks fit you are suspiscous of them? Which is not correct.

Now if he had huge muscle mass that would be a red flag.

if you eat too much you gain weight at any age. the only different is when your older your muscle mass gets lower so the amount of food is less needed . the only red flag is hes movie star ill say 4 out 5 on natty scale
