Will Smith as Ali

[jujube]

I saw that this movie is coming out soon. Smith put on 30lbs of muscle over the period of a year for this flick. He got up to 215 and looked good. Not sure if he lost any, but I guess we'll see with his next movie. When asked about the weight gain he said that anybody who trained 5 or 6 times a week for a year would change their bodies. I am not sayiong that he juiced, but does anybody have any opinions? Either way, he changed alot since his fresh prince of Belair days!

when u have millions to spend on trainers and working out its easier to gain lean mass

not to mention his chefs and dieticians that were probably with him 18 hours a day.

I saw a trailer for the movie and man did he grow! Remember the studio pays him to train, pays for his personal trainer, he has a fulltime chef cooking his food and an assistant making sure he eats all just to prepare him for the roll he's playing. I bet he even has an MD on the payroll. Must be nice

30lbs of tissue in a year can not be done by a man his age without steroids....there is no 2 ways about it.

He still aint that big, but then again neither was Ali....

do u think they really gave him a year to train for the movie? a year ago he was probably working on some other movie. my guess is he hit it up like many other actors.

of course he did. The slight moonface also helped him look alot more like Ali. Will Smith's face is normally lean and angular. I saw the preview in a theater, and you can really tell he is holding water, and I think they did that on purpose.

Anyone got any recent pics of a beefed up Will Smith?
