Only part of it, but it’s kinda crazy that studios can go “hey, you need to literally dehydrate yourself for this shot so your veins and muscles can pop out more easily.”

But this is also the industry where Stanley Kubrick practically abused his actors and is a celebrated director, so…

Actors careers really seem to be at the whim of industry insiders. Harvey Weinstein was able to get away with his shit for decades.
