Is MattSmith too thin?

[wamdue]

just looking at this picture (from Christopher And His Kind) on the BBC website, and am I the only one who thinks Matt is TOO thin?

I will pause for a moment to wonder if this is for the roll, but if it isnt he thin in an unhealty manner.

You normally only ever see ribs like that on two types of people

1) straving children, an TV adverts begging you for your credit card deetails.

2) someone who is either about to either check into or be forced into a clinic to try and cure some sort of eating disorder, or (I think its called) Body Morphic disorder.

All that said it could be for the role, because im amazed he was able to film Doctor Who like that.

As a 20 year old American male who is 5'8" and only 115 lbs, I'm offended.

I have seen alot of US TV, and as such know far more about US culture than I should, but I have never been able to judge someones weight on lbs.

I doubt he downsized just to play the role of the doctor. He is probably naturally thin but looking at that photo he does appear to be extremely or even unhealthly thin. Who knows, he may have an eating disorder.

its his role in "Christopher And His Kind" I am wondering if he downsized for, but it looks really unhealty to me.

the other guy is noticable slim as well, but not in the same way that Matt is.

Based on that picture it wouldn't hurt Smith to eat an entire buket of chicken at his local KFC himself.

In all seriousness, he didn't look dangerously thin when he was shirtless in The Lodger. Thin, yes, but still healthy.

Another thing to consider, he is laying down in that picture. If I lay down, I can see my ribs, despite my very large gut.

yeah I dont recall thinking he was too thin, then either.

I dont think the fact he is laying down, is the problem here, I dont see one inch of fat on him, the rib cage is too visible for that.

 

[RoJoHen]

He looks like a naturally skinny guy who probably never works out.

I'm about 52-55 kg.

Sorry thought you meant the Doctor Who role. It could have been for that role. If not then he really needs to eat.

Yeah, he seems to me to be one of those lucky types.

 

[starsuperion]

yes

..nuff said bub..

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

He also seems to be a little bow legged.

Matches the bow tie maybe?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Bow legs are cool.

 

[Hermiod]

He looks like a naturally skinny guy who probably never works out.

Which is refreshingly unusual amongst actors his age, these days.

 

[Meredith]

Was Colin Baker too Fat?

Was Sylvester McCoy too Short?

??????

 

[Starkers]

Oh dear lord is this what we've got to put up with till the Christmas special rolls around?

I agree. The only acceptable filler material is Karen Gillan is Hot threads.

 

[Starkers]

Well exactly!

But I wouldn't even have a problem with Matt smith is hot threads, wouldn't be interested but wouldn't be annoyed. This just reminds me too much of the 'Isn't Billie fat' threads from way back...

Coming soon. Is K-9 rusting?

 

[Kibbin]

Or is Karen not authorative enough? If so should we get her back in the police unifrom in the first episode or build up to it?
