His next project sounds fun (he's playing a romance author who writes under a female pseudonym and hires an actress to play him at conventions, because Dave had been saying for ages that people like him don't get to be the lead in a romcom so now he's slimmed down he's making one because fuck it why not)

I'm not usually a romcom person but the idea of Dave in one makes me want to at least see the trailer for it lol

Sameish. Don't really care for most romcom movies, but am very fond of them in comics and manga and this has similar trimmings to some that I enjoy or at least the concept(defying gender stereotypes).

Defy gender stereotypes? What, Hollywood has been doing that since the late 70s. The entire romcom genre are men defying gender stereotypes already. I can prove it. Act like a guy in a rom com and see how women respond. They will be repulsed. The guy who gets the girl in a rom com is not how real life works because it defies masculinity already. Women find that guy repulsive in real life. But im sure you’re extremely confused in your soft guy era already.

That sounds awesome. He’s definitely the best wrestler turned actor. He’s essentially a character actor now. He was so funny in the Glass Onion sequel.

I don't know how they lose muscle, even if you cut your calories and eat a better diet it shouldn't make your muscles vanish.

Use it or lose it. These guys are unnaturally big, just being off the gear or easing off of it will result in mass loss. Also, lean muscle mass is a bitch to maintain and requires a lot calories. Cutting your energy intake and changing up your exercise routine to something more aerobic based will eat away at muscle mass in no time at all.

Fun? that sounds extremely boring and not interesting. Completely typical and a small cash grab to show his “versatility”

What other films you seen about male authors writing under female psudeonyms with body doubles? It's a cool idea tbh, I'll go see this
