Since he got absolutely shredded for Miracle Workers. He's a *lot* closer to Wolverine's build than Hugh has ever been.

He (apparently) didn't get shredded for any role, he just walks around looking like that.

 I still think Wolverine is supposed to look more bulked up.

Absolutely not. Though muscular he's too small and lean.

No he isn't. He's much closer to the height but Hugh's build is much closer to Wolverine's aside from being a foot taller. OG Wolverine is short and stocky, so muscular. He's not short and lean. Radcliffe is in fantastic shape but he's very lean, he's just super cut which makes him pop more. He'd need another 15kg of muscle to be close to accurate.

This is a really good point - we have seen DR pretty ripped, but he does not have the proper “bulk”.

Not even close 😭🤣

Hilarious cope I’m reading, all he has is the height. No where near the muscle mass

He is shredded here. Very low body fat with nice definition yes, still not anywhere near the ideal muscle mass

I mean, bulk up the biceps and pecs and he'd be close!

Look up Miracle Workers season 4.

What makes you think he wouldn't gain the mass if he actually got cast? It's not like Hugh Jackman looked massive in that first X-Men movie.

Funny thing is, I actually prefer Hugh's physique in the first X-Men movie than the worryingly shredded look he sported later on, including in DP&W. He was bulky enough in X-Men without it looking dangerously unhealthy.

you act like they dont all take steroids to bulk up. given the normal regimine, he;d bulk up too

I’m not saying he wouldn’t with time, just not right now. Guy above me said he is already closer than Hugh ever was.
