Hollywood has transitioned to making superhero genres and action films that require actors to ace a ripped physique. To shoot the high-octane sequences, the actors need to workout at the gym, bulking up like bodybuilders. Jon Bernthal, the Hollywood icon, falls under this category who stunned his audience as MCU’s The Punisher from 2017 to 2019 with a chiseled physique.

The 46-year-old maintains a physique that makes the fitness icons envy. However, the question of whether muscle gains are natural or not is often discussed by the bodybuilding community.
