TASM 2: Dane DeHann On Bulking Up For Harry Osborn: "I Don't Have To Look Like Batman"

In an interview with Vulture, the Chronicle actor once again discusses his weight/muscle gain for the role of Peter Parker's best bud Harry. We had assumed the extra padding was because Osborn would play a physical role in the story, but DeHann suggests that may not be the case..

When it was revealed that Dane DeHann would be packing on some muscle to play Harry Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, many speculated that it might be because his character would be getting physical in the movie - in other words the possibility existed that Osborn WOULD indeed become The Green Goblin, or at least some variation of him. Well while that might still be true, DeHann reveals to Vulture his reasons for bulking up.



"When do you start? How much more weight do you have to gain?"

"I'm pretty much there. I'm pretty much ready to shoot. I'm totally good to go. I feel like I'm ready to be Harry Osborne. It's not about becoming super bulky. It's about becoming fit. Harry Osborne, he's a trust-fund baby. He probably has personal trainers. He probably has someone making his food. He's going to look like he works out, so I have to look like I work out — but I don't have to look like Christian Bale as Batman. It's not that extreme. I just look a lot better naked."


Of course this doesn't mean DeHann won't be getting in on the action at all, but my guess is Harry will be playing a pretty similar role to James Franco's first incarnation of the character in this movie. For the full interview click the link below.

Bale's Batman? Could've said Hemsworth, Evans and Cavill, all who were much bigger than Bale in their movies.

If he wanted to look like Christian Bale's Batman, just do like 10 push-ups a day. Or atleast that's what he does in the movie.

Bales Batman is arguably tied for "most memorable actor to superhero role" at this point next to Christopher Reeves, Hugh Jackman, and Tobey Mcguire.

You'd be surprised how many casual people attribute Tobey to Spidey.

And Bboiblack, Bale is a better actor than all of them and truly transforms for his roles. See The Machinist to Batman Begins transformation.

Bale was in great shape and quite large in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises... Once he wasn't using those references because those actors went ECTREME with there bodies, and Im loving how you all start bitchong about a reference he made... [frick]in people, just enjoy the article...

If you only mean heroes ok, but if you are including villains I have to disagree with you.



Jack has first place.



Heath has second.

nicholson was good as joker, but u have to be honest and say that heath ledger is wayy more associated for the role. most ppl think of him instantly when they think of the character in movies

Uhm, I'm not mad at him for mentioning Bale's Batman...I just don't think Bale was exageratedly big.

He had a swimmer's build to me, not a muscular build.

thewonderer - 3/25/2013, 5:30 PM
Yeah I was only talking Heroes.

As for villains, Ledger by far is most associated. More people associate Nicholson from Shining I would think.
