Vishen Lakhiani discusses why chasing Hollywood physiques like Hugh Jackman's or Jennifer Lopez's is unsustainable. These bodies rely heavily on genetics, demand extreme sacrifice, and often cause long-term damage: one A-lister developed back and shoulder problems and sleep issues after achieving that look.

If we are chasing a Hugh Jackman body. Right. From X Men, or if we are chasing Jennifer Lopez body, that is an artificial representation of what a healthy body is.
The only person who can get a Hugh Jackson body is Hugh Jackman himself.
Because he was born.
And built for that body. If he, if Hugh Jackman said, I want to get Chris Hemworth body, he would be in trouble.
Right, exactly right. And at the same time, those bodies are often not sustainable. There's an enormous amount of sacrifice.
Absolutely.
I have a friend who is one of the Hollywood A listers who is known for having one of the most perfect bodies and he was the huge Jackman body of his time and he told me to get to that body. He literally lost his health after filming was done, after the iconic film came out where he had that body that so many men aspired to have. He suffered from back problems, he suffered from issues with his shoulder, he had difficulty sleeping because he had actually wrecked his body for an artificial mirage.
