Especially if you look at his jawline. The widening of the lower half is usually a good note that someone’s been on the gear.
I get it, they’re actors and it’s a quick way for them to get in shape for a role I do wish they wouldn’t pretend they didn’t though.
Can you really tell for sure? He doesn't look any less natty than Cavill. I swear the only way you can tell is when they put on loads of muscle in a ridiculously short time, but he landed the role a fairly long time ago, has good genes and was probably already in good shape, and the best fitness trainers and nutritionists you can pay for. Also he is posting this after working out.
Good for you, maybe look at your diet, and take a rest day.
If you are doing things properly you don't have to get this big to understand how people do it clean.
You should go to your local gym and after you pay the one-time fee, because obviously you dont have a membership, go inside and ask the guys what they think about this.
Keep coping my skinny friend.
There's people who have no clue and think "omg such great genetics11", then there's people who actually go to the gym and know that Hollywood actors inject steroids in-between movie takes.
"Keep coping my skinny friend."
You have to love the irony here,
So are you just lazy and making excuses? Or you do actually workout, are a complete failure and have to rationalize that successes are actually cheaters?
Let me know what kind of butthurt I'm dealing with here.
> Lol, How do let everyone know you've never been to a gym?
Every actor who has to bulk up for a role is on roids dude. You don't look like Henry after 1 year of lifting.
He was already fit and muscular though. I mean, just a quick google will show his gains in 2020.
I'm not saying he doesn't 'juice' but if he does it wasn't for this role, but for his long term health i really hope he's not doing it.
If they try to replicate what Henry did then It's gonna be a huge failure on their side. Liam should have a fresh take on his Geralt so that It feels new and worth watching him in that role. I personally prefer a different Geralt but still a faithful one.
Witcher was never on hold. The only thing that kept it from advancing along with every other production that had american cast was the actor's strike. But that's been over since Feb and they've been full steam ahead since with pre production and are starting to shoot this month
He looks nothing like Henry or Geralt, imo. I genuinely feel bad for him, I think he’s a decent actor. But Henry Cavill is my Geralt. And I won’t watch without him.
Ya, the physique is great like this but the face and acting makes all the difference and Cavill as a huge fan gave his everything to the character. His fighting moves were batshit crazy, I love it. Still watch that training video of his from time to time, it seems like they took him right out of a videogame scene in that one.
The physique is not great. Geralt does not hit the gym.
I dunno why they insist on making him bulky af.
Cavill looked so goofy in full armour... All his best scenes are when he is dressed more casually because of it.
Seeing as they are making Liam get huge is proof enough that they still cant grasp something as simple as this...
Completely agree! His fight scenes were epic and he loves The Witcher books and games, so he gave 1000% and you can see it onscreen. I just don’t see how Liam will be as good.
He looked nothing like video game version. His armour at points looked similar but he never did.
He is too much of a pretty boy and too bulky to play a guy who basically spends most of his time on the road/travelling in a fantasy world.
Downvote shows i disagree with you, nothing more. Ill give the new show a chance. Hes putting in effort and at least the muscle gains show hes taking the role seriously
Liam is a solid actor, he's no Henry Cavill but tbh Henry is a megastar and he would have never been anywhere near the project if not for his personal interest in the source material.
Would you rather he looked pretty much like Henry, though? Also, he looks plenty like Geralt, more than most people at least with his hard facial features. 7 years younger than Henry, though.
Well that’s funny because I watched Hunger Games for the first time months ago and I thought “yeah I get it cuz he looks a lot like Henry.”
Though before I had watched that movie I didn’t think that at all. Weird.
Right? Thank you.
Like, is it Liam’s family and friends downvoting me? It’s just my opinion guys, I didn’t tell anyone else not to watch it. You do you.
Yea i sincerely dont understand peoples obsession with him. He was so miscast as geralt. Its cool that he has such a passion for the IP and its even cooler that it seems he went out of his way to seemingly be the one guy in this show that wanted a faithfull adaptation but he was never a good fit imo.
I actually thought Liam might be a good fit until i saw how bulky he is getting too... why do all these people think Geralt is some jacked super hero... its such a basic error... go join your brother in the MCU if you want being a gym rat to be your job....
One thing that bothers me is that Liam would look more like an older brother than an adoptive father figure to Ciri-which is one of my favorite plotlines in the Witcher universe-so Liam taking over is extra disappointing on that front.
It's too bad because Cavill was big because Cavill's trademark is being big. But Hemsworth should instead go for a different built to help him distinguish himself physically from Cavill. Be built more like the damn ballet dancer Geralt actually is.
But in the end I have no doubt Hemsworth had 0 choice here. He's big because the studio wanted him big.
Either way I stopped watching after season 1 and won't be back for this.
I am a massive book fan. There is not one adaptation that I have watched and I've gone "they did that book perfectly" when watching any adaptation you have to relinquish the storyline and ideas you have in your head because it will never match up
I like Liam as an actor personally. I'm looking forward to a fresh take on Geralt. I've never played the games, but read the books. No adaptation is going to be completely faithful to the original text. I've enjoyed the show and I'm sure Liam will be just fine
Henry is GREAT. His Geralt is amazing. I think they'd be fools to ask Liam to emulate him. Liam should bring his own take to the show.
It's kind of like Solo. Harrison Ford is one of my favorite actors. Billie Dee Williams is incredible. I'm a huge Star Wars fan. Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover did an amazing job bringing new versions of these characters to the big screen. It was a fun, original movie.
Looks great, cant wait to see him. He was originally the first choice before Henry. Maybe have have little stuble. And i am sorry but i dont think Liam needs to do too mutch to reach Henrys Geralt season 1.
enough to do grunting noises, say "fuck" and learn fight choreography. Henry could be the best actor in the world but the role of Geralt is not the most demanding to showcase it.
it hurts every book readers heart when you say Geralt is just a silent dude who grunts and says fuck. really shows how the show fucked up the character
I am really finding it challenging to care.
All energy for this show left with Cavill, and now it is just a husk. I don’t know how it even got to this point, but aside from a paycheck, Liam really isn’t doing himself a service by taking on this role.
He is either uninformed or arrogant to think he could pull this off without some form of flak or even outright dismissal.
>He is either uninformed or arrogant
Neither. It's money. If you audition, and a studio chooses you and shoves a boatload of money in your face, you take it.
Hope it works out for him, and even if the show gets canceled, it's not gonna be Liam's fault. It'll be the writers/producers'.
I feel bad for him but I can't watch the show when it comes out. Won't be the same. And I was fine with some changes they made but some decisions in season 2 and 3 were just ugh...I kept watching for Geralt and Yennefer but I can't continue just for Yennefer
If he did this specifically for Witcher he too completely missed the point of the character, also he looked miles better when he had more natural slimmer look
Hes a Hemsworth, every time he sneezes he puts on 5 pounds of muscle.
But will he have a pretty special and intimate relationship with this sword and that losing it would almost be comparable to losing a loved one.
The steroids are helpful too
Especially if you look at his jawline. The widening of the lower half is usually a good note that someone’s been on the gear. I get it, they’re actors and it’s a quick way for them to get in shape for a role I do wish they wouldn’t pretend they didn’t though.

People who don't exercise say what?
I exercised and lift heavy, but if you don’t think a lot of these celebs take roids or any PED you’re crazy
[удалено]
Touch a barbell for a month straight? Well, yell, ya, my arms would probably fall off after day 4 or 5.
Good for you, maybe look at your diet, and take a rest day. If you are doing things properly you don't have to get this big to understand how people do it clean.
not a single person looking like this is "clean" m8
As a solidly built guy who does put muscle on easily. Hemsworth is definitely cycling some gear here. Probably some Tren.
Bet ya juggle 75 free weights...
Bet ya juggle 75 burgers…
I lift, and concur that he’s likely cycling on for the film
Un-huh, try lifting, concurring, with a $1000 a day personal trainer, dietitian, personal chef, etc etc etc
It’s the build, not the mass. You really haven’t been around the gym scene, have you?
You should go to your local gym and after you pay the one-time fee, because obviously you dont have a membership, go inside and ask the guys what they think about this.
People who don't exercise say steroids are useless.
Fat nerds who don’t exercise say what?
every time he injects TRT and \[insert steroids here\]\*, you mean.
Lol, How do let everyone know you've never been to a gym?
Keep coping my skinny friend. There's people who have no clue and think "omg such great genetics11", then there's people who actually go to the gym and know that Hollywood actors inject steroids in-between movie takes.
Nah maybe he just worked out 3 times a day and ate his chicken and rice /s
Athletes don’t take steroids to look cool they take steroids to be better athletes.
"Keep coping my skinny friend." You have to love the irony here, So are you just lazy and making excuses? Or you do actually workout, are a complete failure and have to rationalize that successes are actually cheaters? Let me know what kind of butthurt I'm dealing with here.
Post body fatty
> Lol, How do let everyone know you've never been to a gym? Every actor who has to bulk up for a role is on roids dude. You don't look like Henry after 1 year of lifting.

I think he should be given the chance. I dont have an issue with Henry Cavill leaving, the story so far is just so bad.
Right? The actor will be the smallest problem. I don’t think he’ll be the one that does a bad job. He‘ll probably be the best thing about it all
I mean, season 3 followed the books pretty closely, i guess maybe you dislike the original story?
[удалено]
Because they live on disagreement and conflict. It feeds their sense of self-worth.
If they try to replicate what Henry did then It's gonna be a huge failure on their side. Liam should have a fresh take on his Geralt so that It feels new and worth watching him in that role. I personally prefer a different Geralt but still a faithful one.
You can't do a fresh take on a already estabilished character, but of course he shouldn't forcibly mimic Cavill's perfomance.
I thought Witcher was on indefinite hold, did something change?
Witcher was never on hold. The only thing that kept it from advancing along with every other production that had american cast was the actor's strike. But that's been over since Feb and they've been full steam ahead since with pre production and are starting to shoot this month
Oh God fucking why????? They butchered it let it fucking rot and stop propping it up to make it dance.
[удалено]
He looks nothing like Henry or Geralt, imo. I genuinely feel bad for him, I think he’s a decent actor. But Henry Cavill is my Geralt. And I won’t watch without him.
Same. They ruined it and I am done with it.
I agree completely! They have one episode to prove me wrong:)
Ya, the physique is great like this but the face and acting makes all the difference and Cavill as a huge fan gave his everything to the character. His fighting moves were batshit crazy, I love it. Still watch that training video of his from time to time, it seems like they took him right out of a videogame scene in that one.

All his best scenes are when he is dressed more casually because of it. Seeing as they are making Liam get huge is proof enough that they still cant grasp something as simple as this...
I wish people would remember this. This was a choice for TV, not mad at it but it's not faithful.
It wasn't a choice, Cavill loves the gym.
Completely agree! His fight scenes were epic and he loves The Witcher books and games, so he gave 1000% and you can see it onscreen. I just don’t see how Liam will be as good.
Henry looked nothing like Geralt though. Video game version maybe but not even close to the book version
He looked nothing like video game version. His armour at points looked similar but he never did. He is too much of a pretty boy and too bulky to play a guy who basically spends most of his time on the road/travelling in a fantasy world.
The books are based off the game dipshit
You won't even give it a single chance?
Downvote shows i disagree with you, nothing more. Ill give the new show a chance. Hes putting in effort and at least the muscle gains show hes taking the role seriously
I didn’t say you shouldn’t. Just that I won’t. Bygones.
Then why are you here?
Liam is a solid actor, he's no Henry Cavill but tbh Henry is a megastar and he would have never been anywhere near the project if not for his personal interest in the source material.
Downvote was meant to mean it wasn’t relevant which is why eventually downvoted comments get hidden. It’s not an agree/disagree button.
It's been used as a disagree button for a long time now.
No shit, to the obvious detriment of this increasingly garbage site
That’s what I heard, too, and I have been trying to use it this way. And I spread this information as far as I can. Make Reddit great again 😄
Lol I can't imagine having this attitude in life
Would you rather he looked pretty much like Henry, though? Also, he looks plenty like Geralt, more than most people at least with his hard facial features. 7 years younger than Henry, though.
agreed
Well that’s funny because I watched Hunger Games for the first time months ago and I thought “yeah I get it cuz he looks a lot like Henry.” Though before I had watched that movie I didn’t think that at all. Weird.
The fact you’re getting downvoted is kinda crazy
Right? Thank you. Like, is it Liam’s family and friends downvoting me? It’s just my opinion guys, I didn’t tell anyone else not to watch it. You do you.
Cavill ain't even a good actor - he's been horrible in everything lately
Yea i sincerely dont understand peoples obsession with him. He was so miscast as geralt. Its cool that he has such a passion for the IP and its even cooler that it seems he went out of his way to seemingly be the one guy in this show that wanted a faithfull adaptation but he was never a good fit imo.

One thing that bothers me is that Liam would look more like an older brother than an adoptive father figure to Ciri-which is one of my favorite plotlines in the Witcher universe-so Liam taking over is extra disappointing on that front.
Surprisingly, Liam is only 6 years younger than Henry. I think they can make him look a little older with make up etc.
It will be interesting to see how they age him. 34 is a stark difference to 40 in my mind haha
Hmm not to me, the difference btween 24 and 30 for example is much bigger but of course ageing is also different for different people.
That’s fair, everyone is allowed to have their own opinions on the matter
Are they going to fix the writing though?
Geralt is not huge ffs... he is just going to be boy toy 2.0 in the witches feat. Geralt season3 aint he?
It's too bad because Cavill was big because Cavill's trademark is being big. But Hemsworth should instead go for a different built to help him distinguish himself physically from Cavill. Be built more like the damn ballet dancer Geralt actually is. But in the end I have no doubt Hemsworth had 0 choice here. He's big because the studio wanted him big.

I am a massive book fan. There is not one adaptation that I have watched and I've gone "they did that book perfectly" when watching any adaptation you have to relinquish the storyline and ideas you have in your head because it will never match up
Trenalt
That’s impressive, maybe I will give him a chance.
I like Liam as an actor personally. I'm looking forward to a fresh take on Geralt. I've never played the games, but read the books. No adaptation is going to be completely faithful to the original text. I've enjoyed the show and I'm sure Liam will be just fine
I’m on the same boat as you, but I’m gonna miss Henry a lot
Henry is GREAT. His Geralt is amazing. I think they'd be fools to ask Liam to emulate him. Liam should bring his own take to the show. It's kind of like Solo. Harrison Ford is one of my favorite actors. Billie Dee Williams is incredible. I'm a huge Star Wars fan. Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover did an amazing job bringing new versions of these characters to the big screen. It was a fun, original movie.
The training is not just for the aesthetics
Looks great, cant wait to see him. He was originally the first choice before Henry. Maybe have have little stuble. And i am sorry but i dont think Liam needs to do too mutch to reach Henrys Geralt season 1.
Skipped leg day
He'll do a fine job. Very exited for the new season!!
Hit them legs 🦵
I'm still mourning Henry.
Maybe hot take but I don't think Liam is a good actor
enough to do grunting noises, say "fuck" and learn fight choreography. Henry could be the best actor in the world but the role of Geralt is not the most demanding to showcase it.
it hurts every book readers heart when you say Geralt is just a silent dude who grunts and says fuck. really shows how the show fucked up the character
I am really finding it challenging to care. All energy for this show left with Cavill, and now it is just a husk. I don’t know how it even got to this point, but aside from a paycheck, Liam really isn’t doing himself a service by taking on this role. He is either uninformed or arrogant to think he could pull this off without some form of flak or even outright dismissal.

Would have preferred he wasn’t Geralt at all
If he did this specifically for Witcher he too completely missed the point of the character, also he looked miles better when he had more natural slimmer look
Do we know when they release the next season
Q1 2025 at the earliest. Probably summer 2025.
Jacked is good! More alpha. Gerant has to be alpha af.
I'll watch only to give Liam a chance but if I don't like it/Liam I ain't watching no more I'll give a chance
When is this season coming out?
No Henry Cavill, no witcher. Period.
Eat clen. Tren Hard. Anavar Give Up.
Am I the only one that clicked on the little arrow multiple times before realizing it was a part of the picture?
Cool ... ... .... I hope he can act 🥲
Who's Henry?
Slim geralt ain't a thing.
In the books he is, he's shredded in the games, but still not muscular.
Nope.
👍
