Brenton Thwaites

[Lightx293]

Probably pissed it was cancelled. He's a working actor, so I mean he does have bills to pay and even though they get residuals from shows (active), you still need to have steady a income. He will probably land on some project soon enough. Honestly, it doesn't seem he was into Titans for a while though (only the paycheck). He didn't stay fit at all and actually gained some weight.

This is all likely true. Ngl, I like him a lot as an actor and think he’s got the chops but his acting especially in the series finale was abysmal. He really wasn’t into any of his scenes and if I didn’t know any better I would’ve thought he was a hack of an actor based on this performance alone.

I pretty much agree on everything except the shape part of it.

It's impossible for anyone to train and keep fit 365 days a year, especially for an actor especially if there are no scenes that involve him naked or shirtless.

Nah this ain’t it. I’m one of the people who defended Brenton’s weight gain here a few pages back but it comes with the territory, he’s not expected to stay fit 365 days a year but at least maybe get off zero? Nightwing is a lean athletic character and Brenton isn’t a gym freak and didn’t change that for the role.

I don’t mind that at all, mostly because the role (as much as I like dick grayson) in this adaptation in particular ended up not really being worth it, and it’s obvious he fell out of love with it and saw this coming.

Either way, that chapter is all behind him now and hopefully he’ll get more fitting roles for his build and acting abilities going forward. And if he does show some skin then it’s an added blessing.

You are right, and he also has like a thousand kids, at least 3 as I can remember, and I don't know what does his girlfriend do for a living, so.

Titans had a decent ending

This is why gay men are often single and so unhappy. Because so many of us are superficial and judgmental.

And they're busy chasing after straight men who will never love them. Lol

He's out of shape for superhero movie standards, especially considering the specific character he plays. For regular people standards, he's fit as fuck.

Slow down my dude. He’s out of shape based on superhero movie standards. He’s more fit than the average person that is for damn sure. But when you sign on to play a superhero you have to look the part.

And he did look the part in the show
when they filmed it like a year ago what the hell are yall babbling about talking about his body after he was done playing the character and knew he wouldn't anymore lol

You want realism from a show like Titans? Well Beastboy's skin isnt green and what Bruce Wayne's fitness & age?

I think Brenton put on a few kilos at most, and likely fits into the same clothes still. Can we go back to posting hot pics or talking about which is his best movie?

The point being made is that compared to previous seasons he wasn't exactly in the usual peak superhero shape. Now this isn't only Brenton actually. I think the industry as a whole is getting a little relaxed in the body shape department (a good thing). Rob Pattinson also got some flak for his physique in The Batman as well, even Director had called him out on it. But I'm glad he stood his ground. The guy who also played Namor in Black Panther was also not as ripped as others.

Honestly, I'm glad that they are moving on from these ridiculous standards for superhero body shapes. We need more diversity in this area and I'm actually glad that Brenton wasn't pressured to "get ripped" in order to continue playing the role.

My only disappointment is that we didn't get to his current ass with the weight gain. If you have been watching Titans lately it's bigger than ever lol. It sticks out in every scene.

Eh, I'm all for body diversity and representation but not when it comes to superhero movies. They're superheroes for a reason. These actors get paid millions to stand in front of a green screen and deliver corny one-liners, the least they can do is to look the part while doing so.

NGL Nightwing is looking a little on the thicker side, but I'm not complaining though. I'd still hit it!!
