That and maybe not needing to work out and/or dehydrate himself to be buff as hell for shots, if the body-covering yellow suit is anything to go off of.

He didn’t have to do that in the first place - he just wanted to. Hugh was really small in the first xmen movie and got bigger as they went along.

That’s because standards changed
