View Full Version : Clark not as ripped?
Welling Is Hot

I always look forward to shirtless Clark but I couldn't help but notice in this one Clark is not nearly as ripped as he was in seasons one and two he was a lot more muscularly defined in those seasons.
He was the same in "Aqua" ... I just don't think that TW is working out that much anymore. (The 12-15 hour work days are probably getting to him.)

Ooooh....I didn't want to mention this and offend any Welling fans...but Tom looked sort of chunky and pudgy in his scenes. Yeah, definitely not as in shape as he used to be.

I'm a little dismayed by his lack of tone as well, but I guess you can't have it all. The man's gotta have a life too, 12-15 hour days don't leave time for much else
But then again, this just started in season 5, when he was naked in front of lois he looked good didn't he?

All TW needs to do is smile...If his belly goes to jelly, I'll just bake biscuits and make toast! :) *that man is delicious"
Yeah, no way I would hook up with that doughboy. I could barely stand looking at him with all that flab.
NOT!!!!!!!
Dear God, who can get past those eyes and smile? He could be 500 lbs and I'd ride him like a pony. :lol:

True -- he's still very yummy. And, yeah, he did look good in the season opener for season four. I think that it's just in season five. Maybe it's his way of trying to get the writers to stop making get naked!! He's on strike!! :p

He just has the Superman image to live up to, that's all. If he was just a normal actor on a normal show, no one would accuse him of not being in shape. Poor guy... we have such unreal expectations...
It's not enough that he's got smoldering eyes, great hair, chiseled jaw, height, *ahem* big feet, and lips...... um, I'm sorry, what was I saying?

Ah, no... not the case at all. Excuse me while I go ponder what kind of boxers he actually needs...
Does he really need them?

Holy Cats Batman! If you all are thinking in terms of "pudgy" and "out of shape", I might as well just give up and call myself "hopelessly beached (as in whale)". I'm with you Ferd - his face drew me in to begin with. And personally, I like a little "meat" on the bones - more for me to grab on to while I straddle that stallion waving my cowgirl hat!:) :lol: :P

Staying "ripped" as opposed to simply "toned" takes a lot of cardio work. As others have said, with a 12+ hour day it's hard to fit in weights and heavy cardio. Not that the posters of the female persuasion really care...
Then there's the age thing. Every 5 years gets noticbly harder :P.
Yes... I agree... I'm a poster of the female persuasion and I don't really care. LOL

Ferd, about those boxer shorts....maybe not. Sounds like good poll fodder. We must preface the polled question with EAE's description, you know the, "It's not enough that he's got smoldering eyes, great hair, chiseled jaw, height, *ahem* big feet, and lips...... um, I'm sorry, what was I saying?" Made me think..and laugh.

seriously....all I kept saying when ever he was doing what he was told "SHOW OF HANDS!! How many would like that opportunity?!!" He looks great and as beautiful as always - actually I think he looks better, the older he gets - even if that means there aren't as many rips - please, at 31 and after having children via c-section - rips are no longer in my vocab.:D

I think the WB is starting to realize that not all women like their men beefy and muscular. I would take a pudgy teddy bear over ripped anyday. maybe because im a pudgy bear myself lol. They need more pudgy people on Tv. Now all we have to do is get lana to gain the customary 15 pounds of breakup weight from eating a whole pint of ben and jerrys in a sitting. YOu know Im right!!!

Girls always seem to get away with a lot more when talking about this sorta thing...for example does anyone reckon a post all about (the beautiful) Alison Mack and how we would 'ride her like a pony' might get censored or at the least get negative comments from the girls?
Just an observation ladies....the guys on here seem to treat the actresses with more respect than you give the actors!!
Well, Dean_19.... if you guys want to have a conversation about Lois in "Exposed" & "Aqua" or Chloe or Lana, etc... I'm not going to stop you. I just probably wouldn't check out that thread. Not because I'm judging you guys...just because I wouldn't be interested. ;)
Also, I don't know, but if they're going to have a whole episode revolving around Clark becoming someone's love slave then it seems like it would be weird if we didn't...well...um....analyze that portion of the episode. What kind of fans would we be??? :rolleyes:

Um... you lost me at ripped muscles....
Since I'm the one who offered to 'saddle up' I will chime in. I have no issues with anyone commenting on the females of the show--heck I have eyes, I know they're hot. So, don't worry about a double standard from me. I'm mature enough to know we all have needs, regardless of our sex.

I don't care about people posting about how hot TW is, I'm just saying that the posts I've seen about AM, KK or ED from the guys when commenting on how attractive they are have always been quite respectful......but that doesn't seem to be the case from the ladies sometimes...!! I.e. I don't think I have ever read a post basically saying how much a guy fan would like to have sex with any of the female stars...but today I've seen lots of posts about how you guys would bed TW....

That's ironic because I thought he looked alot more buff than he did in "Aqua". Also he has more Muscle in Season 5 then he would have in Season 1 and 2 and when you have more Muscle it's harder to look ripped. Clark was the most Buff in "Exile" look at his biceps in the Phone booth scene there huge.

man i agree welling has gained some fat. In past years they would of shown his entire pyhsique, but if you noticed in hypnotic they focused on his shoulders and chunky face. Its not just his stomach, but if you notice the fat on his face is building. he has no biceps, and its getting laughable. hes become the most out of shape superman actor sorry to say.
justsuper
03-31-2006, 02:50 PM
Welling is FAR from unattractive!! However, I think his trainer has probably been going overboard with adding bulkier muscle to his frame. He's not out of shape - it's probably in his contract! - but I much prefer him on the lean muscle side. I've been thinking about writing the show and telling them so - lean muscle is better on him and shows off his attractive features better.
Maybe they were thinking more massive Superman physique - who knows? The extra bulk on him also doesn't work with his longer hair. You can pull of that boyish thing easier if you have the lean muscle frame.
Wow! So critical as I look in the mirror and see - ahem - about 10 extra pounds for sure!!
MetroGirl06
03-31-2006, 03:04 PM
I certainly have'nt noticed any 'extra fat'. But maybe its because I've been totally infatuated with Tom Welling like forever! I see him as my dream guy, and I refuse to date anyone who doesnt look like him!
Hi, I have been a fan of Smallville for about 3 years now, mostly because I fell in love with Tom, however I have to recognize that he has gained some weight during the years.
My favorite season is the second and I watch it whenever I can, here is when I notice it the most.
If you watch season 1 he is really skinny and really boy looking, season 2 he looked more manly season 3 best shape ever, season 4 pretty good shape but not as on 3 you can start telling more his age,and in season 5 he is less ripped, his face is a little more full, and he definetly looks his age.
But this is all normall, as the time goes by guys tend to get like that, their face and neck get fuller,he is still a very atttractive man and I still love him, that is the way it is; we can not be at our best forever is called time.
As far as I know they have been working 12-16 hours days since the begining of the show, so he did have time to workout before, maybe he is really getting tired after 5 years and I dont blame him, plus in his "vacations" he takes time to make movies, so the boy is tired.
By the way has anybody pay attention to Lana, she is really skinny, as compared to the first seasons, she sometimes looks sick.

I rewatched the pilot. I think I like a leaner Clark better. But, the present Clark, "fat face" and all is mighty fine. People do change as they get older. Plus, Superman does not have to have a bunch of silly old muscles, he's already strong.
But. then again. Isn't there some charity that needs funds? They could sell tickets to TW's work out sessions and give the proceeds to that needy charity. Of course, they would have to supply sweat towels, ice water, and a defibrillator for those of us whose heart would go into fibrillation. You know what. We could hold this charity event in the Georgia Dome. See? Aren't we thoughtful? We'd be helping TW get into shape and we'd be helping a charity. And we, of course, would have only altruistic intentions.

I agree... I prefer leaner Clark -- but this one works for me. I don't know... his face doesn't look fat to me. Overall, he doesn't look fat to me. I just think that he's getting older.
He's still ruggedly handsome and if TPTB would stop making him wear so much make-up, update his haircut, and let him wear a color other than red than we wouldn't even notice things like this.
The only reason we can even compare it that closely is because he's wearing the exact same clothes he was wearing in the first season. Remember the black hoodie in "Vengeance"??? He looked very good...didn't look chunky to me at all. He looked younger, too.
Let's face it: if the writers keep writing scripts where poor TW has to take off all his clothes, then the viewers are going to notice what he looks like with his clothes off and comment on it. Just like the viewers realized that ED has an awesome body when we saw "Aqua" and "Exposed".

I agree that TW is not in as good a shape as he used to be. But he is getting older, and the hours are probably getting to him. The time that TW was in the best shape was for Exile in S3. He got jacked for that episode. The guy's bicep was freakin huge in that phoneboth scene.

04-01-2006, 04:35 AM
He looked pretty buff in mortal, when he laid out the electric guy. Maybe he's just 'bigger' from working out but as a result less toned?

He's definitely not as ripped as he used to be. no doubt about that... however I'll leave it to the ladies as to whether he still looks good (oh wait, they already have :P)
however, for those who have the DVDs, go watch exile, the scene where Edge's 2 guys shoot up Kal. After clark is talking to edge, you see he's bulked up a lot but actually isn't super toned, unless he flexes (phoenix when the mark disappears is IMO when he's in the best shape) In aqua (worst shape there, he shouldn't have his shirt off when AC was there making him look bad) and hypnotic he's just chilling out not doing anything.
however as far as I know he had to bulk up quite a bit between seasons 2 and 3. when you have all that muscle, it takes enormous amounts of working out to stay ripped, cardio isn't enough or you lose the muscle mass...a lot more working out than when you're skinny. He could have stopped lifting weights after exile for 3 weeks or so and not look much better than in hypnotic.
so yeh, he's not AC, but I probably wouldn't be working out to maintain superman physique if I had to spend 12 hours on set...

AGREED COMPLETELY! ;) Was everyone watching the same episode as I was? I thought he looked completely gorgeous. When Simone told him to take off his shirt I was like "HECK YES!" and moved a bit closer to the TV screen. Maybe he wasn't as ripped as he used to be, but Lord, he isn't chubby by any means! I could eat cereal off that abdomen! Excuse me, I got a tad excited.. :D
I don't know... I still think we have unrealistic expectations... this guy would look good on any other show. No one would use the words "fat" and "chunky" to describe him. Like those guys on "Supernatural" ... they're not ripped & people wouldn't say they're fat and chunky?
I really think that the 12 hours days are catching up with him... and he was also directing an episode, too, right? When would he get time to work out?
And he probably doesn't care. Maybe this his was going, "huh, if I don't look that cut, maybe TPTB won't keep coming up with these storylines where I have to take off my clothes."

True the boxers did not look very well on him. However, please don't call us older folks geezer's. After all you do not know what you will look like when you get older.

If you started a thread like that I would join and agree Erica and Allison and Kristin and Annette are all beutiful women and Tom and Michael and both John's are handsome men as well.
Smallville has the hottest cast. What else can be said? ;)
I like the pudgy look on Tom. He is hot in anyway but the weight dont really hurt him. I think he is cuter now than he has ever been. I agree in earlier seasons he did have a more defined body but he is so cute with the chubby face. Tom is far from fat that is for sure.

He is a beautiful man and sorry...I didn't notice the extra weight and even after rewatching it, didn't see it as extra weight - saw it as him being a few years older. I think he looks better - if that's even possible.....
oh yes he is quite a beautiful man, oh my.

I watched the scene a couple of times, and I honestly couldn't see enough of Welling to see WHAT he looks like. They seem to be taking great care to film him from a significant distance away. When they showed closeups, it was of nothing more than the tops of his shoulders. It made me wonder if his body really has gone all to pieces (hard to believe, considering the way he fills out a T-shirt) or if the actor just doesn't like showing a lot of skin. It seems to me I've read he's a little shy about showing much skin-- maybe they're trying to defer to him so as not to annoy him? They didn't even use a body double to show a lot of his back, the way they have in the past, which struck me as odd, considering they tried to play up the sexiness of that scene in advance. It came across as surprisingly... modest, at least on Clark's part (they showed a lot more of Simone).
Anyway, he looked to me like he might have some decent definition (he looked like he had more pecs than before, honestly, although I suppose that could be excess weight, too) but it was really quite hard to tell because of the way they filmed it.

Alright, let me attempt to reset this, "Tom Welling is not as ripped as he used to be" issue once and for all. First off, he's NOT fat, pudgy, rotund or doughy. Granted, there’s been a drop off since the show first aired. In season one his physique could best be described as lithe, chiseled, sinewy, cut, “leaned-out”, basically he looked like an Abercrombie and Fitch catalog model. This makes sense given the fact that TW was a model prior to concentrating on acting. Right now he resembles any previously buff high school football player in the off-season who’s let himself go a little—a little—and has put ten pounds of unnecessary weight. Also, let’s not forget that TW has never had the best body (from a physical fitness standpoint) on the show. That distinction belongs to John Glover, the MB himself. Remember his prison shower scene from season 4? Whoa. The man’s north of 60 years old and still shredded like one of those iron-man tri-athletes. So I hope that clears things up.

I disagree. I think that distinction belongs to John Schneider, who is a seriously buff dude. It's a real pity they didn't let him walk around shirtless more often, but they probably didn't want to make TW look wimpy by comparison:D .

Hmm...my perference is the "chubby" Tom I guess, followed by the Season 1 Tom. XD I guess too many muscles can be a turn off sometimes.
John Glover Definetly has the best body, he does take care of him self. I wish I can look close to that good at his age. First time I saw him with out a shirt on a hospital scene i think it was Talisman I was like ... wow when did he get that ...
TW is not to blame for gaining some extra pounds, because the guy works 16 hours days, he is still looks pretty good to me.
:p
