Brie Larson
too thin. and Kelly Ripa? Really?
Brie Larson is 34, naturally thin, and has never had kids. It's totally reasonable for her to be both thin and super strong -- at her age I was working as a personal trainer and was
super strong but was also very thin. My body was pretty similar to the above photo. Now at 44, I am still on the thin side but after two pregnancies and likely the start of perimenopause, I am thicker in the middle and I get more bulk with strength training, especially in my arms and thighs (not complaining, just noting how bodies change over time). I think Brie Larson is pretty ripped when she's in top form for Captain Marvel.
Kelly Ripa is 53 and has multiple kids. I am sure she works out a ton and believe she must do some lifting, but she's so teeny tiny that I'm guess a lot of it for her is about diet and cardio/calorie burn. Her husband is the same and I get the sense they work out together a lot and must be on special diets. They aren't training to play superheroes, they are just trying to stay as small and youthful looking as possible so that they can look good next to the celebs they interview. It is not about being (or looking) strong.
Whereas Larson genuinely is training to at least look strong, plus filming movies like that is physically grueling even when you have a stunt double -- she is absolutely running, jumping, working on wires, etc., stuff that requires a lot of strength and stamina. I think her body is legit.
