Hollywood Action Stars Embrace 'Dad Bod' in Downtime as Women Favor Relaxed Physique The Hollywood action stars embracing a dad bod in their downtime from Tom Hardy to Vin Diesel - as it's revealed women prefer a relaxed physique Being famous in Hollywood has always come with a huge pressure on image, and while the narrative often focuses on women it is an issue that also effects male stars. It isn't uncommon for actors to undergo huge physical transformations for their roles as muscular superheroes or on-screen hunks with intense regimes put in place to help them achieve their physical peak. However, when the cameras aren't rolling, many male stars are choosing to embrace a more relaxed 'dad bod' as they take the pressure off and enjoy their lives. On Tuesday, Tom Hardy was seen showcasing his array of body inkings as he went shirtless on the beach in Barbados with more of a relaxed figure. The cost of a chiselled muscular physique comes at a cost, and last year the Mad Max star opened up about the number of injuries he has acquired from his action character lifestyle over the years. Meanwhile Channing Tatum admitted looking so muscular 'isn't natural' and the amount he was working out for Magic Mike 'wasn't healthy'. So who are the Hollywood stars embracing the dad bod when they aren't on screen? Last May Tom Hardy opened up about the cost of staying action-ready for decades after suffering with many injuries. 'I’ve had two knee surgeries now,’ he told Esquire. 'My disc’s herniated in my back, I’ve got sciatica as well. And I have that… is it plantar fasciitis? Where did that come from? And why? Why?!’ The star revealed he had also torn a tendon in his hip and confessed: 'It’s like, it’s all falling to bits now, and it’s not going to get better.#channing_tatum #jason_momoa #tom_hardy #vin_diesel #mad_max
