Tanner Buchanan muscles up for Cobra Kai

In a recent interview, Tanner Buchanan talked about how he's self conscious of other actors with big muscles like Channing Tatum and Chris Hemsworth as Thor.

Does playing such a physical role give you a more positive relationship with your body image?

I would maybe say yes and maybe say no. For me when I work out, I'm just doing it to stay healthy. I just want to stay healthy. That's it. As long as I'm healthy, I don't care.

But body image-wise it's really hard to be in this industry because I have caught myself a few times looking at other actors and thinking, "Whoa, they're jacked. They feel like they're so big. They got all these muscles that I definitely don't have.” But I feel like, over the years, I've just switched my mind to really just be like, "Look, if you're working out consistently and you're staying healthy, that's all you need to do."

That’s what drives me rather than trying to look like Channing Tatum or Chris Hemsworth as Thor, because I guarantee you, I'm not six foot four, weighing 250 pounds. I'm much smaller than that!

He's only 23. Those that grew up fit with a naturally skinny body tend to start getting bigger after 25. He might not reach Hemsworth but he will get bigger over time naturally.

[Malfriend]

He actually looked like a mortal kombat character during the championship in season 4

[alastairop]

I thought he looked pretty jacked until you showed the footage of Boyka. Waiting for the dweebs to call steroids on a kid that probably weighs a buck fifty

[ultimatehope]

Robby was already my favorite character but learning this about Tanner’s mindset just makes me like him even more because this is exactly what I went through, mentally. It’s about health and being proud of how you look, not how big your muscles are compared to people who have either been in the gym twice as long as you or are on steroids.

[H.K.]

People need to realise he’s only 23, he’ll probably be even more jacked by 30.

[PervySage]

Dude clearly has good genes too. In season 1 hes still bigger than most young 20 year olds

[bigbadvicHo]

His body is perfect and naturally balanced. These Hollywood actors take steroids and put unrealistic expectations in our heads. Stay natty my friends.

[nargess.h]

Everyone need to understand he is only 23... And, I love his body now... It's naturally amazing...Damn

[lokey]

He legit could play a young adult Robin. Dude has the acting chops, has the looks, and has the martial arts abilities for the role.

[travissorenson]

Kid just needs to stay consistent. From season 1 to 4 is proof that with consistency time and patience you can get good results.

[pokegowalking]

Consistency is key
Just keep doing what you doing. After a good couple of years, you'll get bigger

[ballout]

He doesn't need to look like Hemsworth or Tatum. He looks absolutely awesome as Tanner.

[ludwigvonkoopa]

I mean it isnt a fair game for him since all the actors you cited are on "chicken rice broccoli " diet. And tbh, hid body is fucking amazing for an actual natty

[tattoodfreeek]

I must admit, of all the cobra kai cast, he seems to have really thrown himself into the martial arts training. He and William Zabka are the most convincing in their fight scenes.
Keep up the good work Luke 🤙

[antonsilva]

He has great definition no need to be big as those other actors

[tabmax]

Every season he comes back with more notable gains, and it’s nothing crazy either, looks like what 4-5 years of consistent training would look like. I think he’s got potential

[randomguest]

Changing Tatum is pretty attainable for him but yeah nah he ain’t ever gonna look like Chris Hemsworth

[dharris]

That’s because other actors use steroids

[Stuart.t]

I feel like he would be a great flash in a DC movie, or especially like Robin/Nightwing in the next the Batman movie with Robert Patterson

[iwatchfamilyguy]

He’s still in good shape very developed shoulders traps and abs the only thing that could improve is his arm size I think he looked bigger in season 4
