While stories of physical transformations achieved by actors playing superheroes are routine, this one is a bit different as Hellboy star David Harbour is clarifying again that he's wearing a bodysuit in the film even though he did workout for the role. He told MTV International, "I did a lot of training for the movie but that is not my body. The funny thing is people think that is my body and I am very gratified. But I don't think there's any way I could do that. I am not Arnold Schwarzenegger. I could take a ton of steroids and eat pounds of meat all day but I didn't do that. I just put on a (body)suit."
Co-star Daniel Dae Kim admits to being fooled by Oscar-Winner Joe Harlow's striking make-up work. He said, "The bodysuit that he (Harbour) wears is so convincing as real musculature that it took me a while to realize it wasn't David. And lucky for David he has the benefit of getting a suit with lots of muscles. It was great to see all the details like the hairs that are on the chest and the veins that come through the arms."
