Should it be illegal for actors and actresses,
to lose weight or gain weight for a movie role?

 

[Fantine]

That's a private contractual matter between the studio and the actor.

No. Look at sports. If you are too fat/thin, you don't get a free pass. That's why there are weight ranges in wrestling and MMA.

1 and 2 are partly wrong.

I agree with 3.

It's part of the actor's job to look like the person whose role they play. If you are concerned about risks at jobs, there is a multitude of jobs who are far more dangerous/unhealthy.

Weigh ins for combat sports t are based on a simple scale reading. Body fat or lean muscle is not measured to determine weight category.

Just like companies can advertise their products in uninhabited regions of the country.

Should it be illegal for wrestling programs to determine weight categories, or should it be legal for wrestlers to adjust their weight to fit in a particular category that they think they can succeed at?

Well, weight categories would stop them from getting too fat,
or too thin for a role.

Would you support weight limits?

Yes - since most (actors and actresses) are liberal, they should have Government control over what roles they can take.

They know the role they're auditioning for. Expectations will be communicated before they sign the contract.

The process of putting weight classes for actors into SAG rules would be hilarious.
