Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian |
Arnold Schwarzenegger who transcended from a professional bodybuilder to a movie star basically brought bodybuilding to the mainstream, and influenced an entire generation of young guys to want to get the big heavy muscular look.
But during the late 90s the popularity of the big muscle look began to die down. In 1999, when Fight Club came out, Brad Pitt set a trend and showed guys that being ultra-lean with a slim to moderate build is more attractive-looking than being huge and bulky.
Brad's character, Tyler Durden, was able to get a nice lean and tone look, but had amazing muscle definition when he took his shirt off in the movie. This was a winning male image with the ladies and all actors are striving for this look.

You see, although lots of guys were aiming to get as big as possible, women had a different idea of what looked attractive.
They were more attracted to men who looked hot when dressed in clothing as well as with their shirts off. Women are physically attracted to the moderately muscular build, not massive freaky muscular guys.
Women held the the actors who looked lean, tone and cut as sex symbols do this has been the real movie star that actors aim for from ever since. If you ever have seen a movie where the actors got in shape, you will notice that all of the them have average amounts of muscle but with exceptional muscle tone.
Just think about all the male movie stars who are known for a fit body. Mark Wahlberg, Ryan Reynolds, Chris Evans, Taylor Lautner, Brad Pitt, Kellan Lutz and many others. All of these guys have really moderate muscle mass and have the sleek and toned look instead of being bulky.
Although some of them may have a lot of muscle they don't aim for the big bodybuilder physique like Arnold Schwarzenegger like guys back in the day when Arnold was the man.
