And he still manages to look odd.

OP, you're joking, right? I mean i never know any more around here.

Man, how did he do that That frame isn't even his body type. Isn't he tall and lanky? Impressive work.

I'm stoned and you never know, he could have done it with steroids.

Did I imagine this, or did Topher Grace indeed actually become swole a few years back? He didn't have the muscle mass to look THAT big, but I did think he looked much bigger than he used and quite ripped.

The problem, though, was that no one wanted to see him as ripped. People will always want to see him in comedies, and as the little scrappy dork.

by Anonymousreply 17April 6, 2021 2:30 AM

I think he did bulk up in the past, maybe around the time of the Spiderman movie.

He reminds me a bit of my first boyfriend, which has resulted in me finding him inexplicably attractive.

by Anonymousreply 18April 6, 2021 2:35 AM

His body looks like CGI.

by Anonymousreply 19April 6, 2021 2:36 AM

I watched the extended promo, and I'll probably watch the show, at least a few episodes.

The younger brother is hot, and I think Topher is cute.

by Anonymousreply 20April 6, 2021 2:41 AM

The bulking up was post-Spider-Man 3.

Part of the problem for Spider-Man 3 was that his eddie Brock never bulked up the way he does in the comics. They really just needed to cast someone else up in the role--part of the reason that character is so compelling to so many adolescent boys (and post-adolescent men who remain adolescents in heart) is that Venom is a dark fantasy of toxic masculinity, and so whoever plays him needs to be hugely muscular. Tom Hardy was a much better fit for that part, and of course they used CGI to make the animated Venom seem ridiculously muscular (like a gay porn fantasy drawing).

The promos made it look interesting, but I just read here that it's produced by Topher Grace.

Won't last a full season.

The show is promising. No laugh track is the way to go. It did not need the lesbian bi-racial couple...to stereotypical. We enjoyed it.

Too bad, if it isn't true about his body in Op's pic. I like it. Could work on the forearms and upper pecs some more, in my worthless opinion.

I have no clue if this site is up-to-date, but, according to the website Man Crush, "Topher Grace ranks No. 174 among the Most Man-Crushed-Upon Celebrity Men [...]. He was named one of Top 100 Most Handsome Green Eyed Men, All-American Men by our Man Crush Monday bloggers. Topher Grace is straight and is pretty "gay". [...]" (He's "straight and pretty gay." Is this the new normal?)

But, no buff muscle pics there, although there are some pics of him shirtless that look decent enough.

Never mind they didn't adjust the body size on the PhotoShop to match his head.

Haven't we heard he's a bitch to work with? Of course he's done little since his show, and they ALL were shits to work with - and $cio assholes too for two at least.

By that logic, the SMIII characterisation worked fine, as it still presented a certain facet of toxic masculinity, i.e. envious hyper-competitive big-city writer culture. Plus, the fact that Venom feeds off all negative emotions, not just aggression or misplaced anger. It’s not just women and gay men who can be consumed by cattiness, spite, and passive-aggressive vengeful feelings....

This didn’t work for a lot of people, but for my two cents I liked the take Raimi & Topher had on Eddie Brock.

I liked the show last night. It had an air of trying too hard to be the new Modern Family, but it seemed funnier that a lot of other new sitcoms I've seen lately.

Topher's new character seems to have a lot of the mannerisms of Eric Forman. Bodywise, Topher looks the same as he did 20 years ago. I was shocked at how thin he still looked.

As usual, most of the commenters here didn't watch/read the post. This was a joke, he doesn't really look like that. Sheesh!

By that logic, the SMIII characterisation worked fine, as it still presented a certain facet of toxic masculinity, i.e. envious hyper-competitive big-city writer culture. We’ve all known snotty, precious, entitled and insecure twerps like Topher’s Eddie, the type willing to kiss anyone’s ass, willing to backstab at any time, and willing to put on any amount of fake pseudo-charm and grift to get what they wrongly believe they deserve.

Plus, the fact that Venom feeds off all negative emotions, not just aggression or misplaced anger. It’s not just women and gay men who can be consumed by cattiness, spite, and passive-aggressive vengeful feelings.

This didn’t work for a lot of people, and I do agree that the version of the Eddie Brock character is not the one so beloved of the comics and cartoons. For highly invested fans, it must have been disappointing and upsetting. Even so, for my casual two cents, I appreciated the take Raimi & Topher had on Eddie Brock and the point they were trying to make.

Not mostly, r18.

Topher bulked up for his attempt at romantic comedies. He had shirtless scenes in TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT.

But you can see he never went for bodybuilder gains. He's no Jeff Seid.

Laura Prepon always looked far too Amazonian to be his love interest on That '70s Show. I always imagined that during sex she would just lift him over her shoulder and bodyslam him on the bed.

I wanted a date with Topher, hands down, instead of one with Tad Hamilton. Topher was much sexier.

I did like and watch The 70s Show, and still enjoy the occasional rerun when I come upon one. But given that I’ve never watched the shows alluded to within the promo for this show, I’m not sure this one would interest me much.

by Anonymousreply 51April 9, 2021 3:21 AM

Topher is probably only an "Executive Producer" in that his name secured funding, including the contingency fund, for this show.

He didn't create the show, It was created and written by Michael Colton and John Aboud. Somebody named Maxfield Elins is the actual showrunner.

It's still boring, though.

They ended the pilot episode by singing a heartwarming rendition of "MMM-Bop" by Hansen.

I hereby issue a fatwa on ALL of them.

I laughed a few times, like when one of the kids asks another what their dogs' pronouns are. I guess I'll keep it as part of my mediocre network TV list like 911 and The Conners.

I found the pilot episode very funny - the subsequent episodes not as much but still entertaining. I like all of the actors involved and I never realized how adorkable Topher Grace is. I'll be sticking with this show.
