Frank Grillo Says Steroid Use Is Widespread in Hollywood as He Defends Testosterone Therapy

Overview

• He said on Men’s Health’s Strong Talk podcast that he has used testosterone replacement therapy after being diagnosed with low levels about six years ago.
• He argued PED use is not cheating for actors, noting he is 60 and not competing in regulated sports.
• He claimed many performers rapidly add muscle for roles using substances such as Anavar and Deca, which he said can be prescribed and monitored by doctors.
• He asserted that the dramatic physiques seen for blockbuster roles are not natural, adding, “they might not want to say it, but they all do it.”
• He did not name any specific actors or projects, and current coverage centers on his admission and the broader discussion it has prompted rather than formal industry responses.
