Louis Theroux: Bodybuilding

Thanks, love his work, his ability to ALMOST hide his disbelief is just a riot.

Yay more Theroux!

Louis always makes his subject look bad in a sneaky way, and yes most of the stuff he is after is easily shown to look substandard. So if one can put that aside, he is pretty funny and willing to try just about anything. He did have a tummy tuck on one of his past video, although he didn’t achieve much with that. The married girl sure makes you wonder if she really is a woman. To say that the world is conditioned to find woman like Claudia Schiffer pretty is a reality but to say that we are conditioned to find these woman ugly is pushing it…let’s face it there is nothing natural about their look. Working your every muscles to that extend seem to stiffen your face too, i did not see one pretty face in the whole gang although i suppose some used to be quite pretty…and i also saw a lot of boobs job.
I believe a woman who goes to the gym, exercise a lot, eat healthy and stay off those drugs can achieve a very nice look if she knows the limit to overdoing it, though it appears to be addictive. I think the world of body building is a bit like the world of plastic surgery, one eye fix turns into many more, people seem to loose a sense of natural beauty.
It is a matter of taste…beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I have often asked woman what do you like in a man’s physic…i heard nice smile, beautiful eyes, straight back, nice bum, long legs…never or very rarely have i heard body buider!
az,

Was hoping this was new…saw this doc several years back. Very good

That Maria chick reminded me of the Trans-gender inmate Louie interviewed in San Quentin.

Hummm, after seeing women like Maria,it raises the question for me uh at what point is a woman no longer a woman.hormonally when a woman take steroids they can increase there testosterone level to the same amount that men have.So is this still a women? having the parts of a female but the hormones of a male.It’s like a new gender of humans not male or female.It’s like a science project going wrong.I personally think there is nothing wrong with females building there muscals but when the women take steroids it really destroys there femininity…

“Louis always makes his subject look bad in a sneaky way, and yes most of the stuff he is after is easily shown to look substandard.”

I don’t think that’s what he does at all. It’s more like he tries to get everyone to bring out their true personality and admit some of their thoughts and worries. He presents them honestly so then the viewer can get to know them a bit and make their own judgement.

Sometimes he says his own opinion, but I think that’s a way to get people to open up more.. and explain their thinking to the viewers more.

The people in this documentary come across well, they seem like really nice people. Sometimes I do think the people are bad, but that’s just my judgement.

In the ‘most hated family’ one, he tries to give the viewers every chance to understand them and what goes through their heads. They were obviously going to be very unpopular, but they’d instantly be that unpopular as soon as you heard about them anyway.

Most times the program is more about personalities that I would describe as unusual, thought-provoking and entertaining to learn about.

where is the documentary? :O
