Sometimes people just don't want to assume that its purely hard work, and the fact they have the time available to do it/hire a trainer/dietician. Also, a lot of the films they star in are cmpletely dependant upon them having that physique.
I mean, look at Bobby De Niro. For Raging Bull, he bulked up and became so good at Boxing, he had some semi-pro fights, and was told he could actually have gone pro had he followed it. Then he larded out for the end of the film. Then look at his physique again for Cape Fear. Of course, it can *never* just be hard work, but *always* has to be some illegal supplement.
*sigh*
