Why is Channing so skinny?


I thought maybe it was because he was young but... he was 26 at the time so he should have been done growing. In more recent movies he's way more bulky. Did he have to lose a bunch of weight or did he just decide to get bulkier after this movie?

He was like this way before he started to bulk up. I actually don't find him skinny here but like a regular guy. He looked like this from his youth until he started to bulk up which wasnt until a while after this film. I kind of wish he could have stopped somewhere in between.

That's most likely his normal body size. People obviously have to workout to get big. He isn't naturally ripped and then got skinny, that kinda makes no sense.

This the only movie he looked good imo

As others have said, I'd say he just bulked up after the movie and this was his "regular" body size, before he started getting bigger. He probably just wanted a bigger, more muscular physique, plus he probably was told he could be the next action star.

soccer players are generally very lean guys, they do ALOT of running obviously. Channing was also playing a high schooler. He would be lean anyway, he was 26 at the time & has always been athletic. I'm 42 & i weighed 98 lbs when i was 26. I'm a female swimmer. Natural moderate weight gain comes with age. It's called
"Filling out."
