Steroid use is so ubiquitous and wide spread that it's practically everywhere these days. Just about every professional bodybuilder on the pro level stage takes them( and HGH) and even athletes and actors take them now, too. It's not a level playing field anymore. I always say that my favorite bodybuilder is Steve Reeves( because he was all-natural) and that I think that he was and IS the best bodybuilder of all time because of how he was able to craft such an impressive physique for himself without using a single performance enhancing drug( and bodybuilders were already using and misusing steroids back in the 1950s during the hey-day of Reeves in the Hercules movies). But again, with steroids being so ubiquitous these days, even actors are taking them and then spewing the same kind of nonsense about their protein rich diets and strict eating habits that many bodybuilders do when they're really juicing. I can respect that Dolph Lundgren is honest enough to just come out and say that he used steroids when he was younger.

I like him but I'm pretty sure that The Rock has taken stuff recently. He claims that he ''tried'' steroids when he was a teenager but it honestly wouldn't shock me at all if it ever came out that The Rock has been taking some performance enhancing drugs and I'm sure that a lot of other Hollywood actors have used steroids( and HGH, too). We already know about Stallone but I think that there are a lot of other actors using and misusing steroids who won't directly just come out and admit it( Chris Hemsworth as Thor is someone that I've suspected for a while now and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Hugh Jackman used them when he was playing Wolverine).

He seems like a down to earth person. He looked great as an athlete before getting into movies. There's honesty about steroids and probably what they have done to his body over the years. Hope he recovers as well as he can given his condition.

Very honest, open down to earth guy. I wish him the very best in his health. I pray he gets well.

Dolph Lundgren is a great man. He's very well educated, especially in his Chem. Engineering field, because of this I wonder why he didn't become an academic instead of an actor, he would've made agreat professor. Yet it's easy to figure why, acting pays very well, but one has to do what is required, barring reason many times, and ignoring the risks. To that end, his dialog speaks for it self. In summary, I appreciate his intelligence and his candor.

Dolph lundgren is a Boss.👊👍😬

I always liked Dolph and his films, not just Rocky 4 and Universal Soldiers. Dolph is one of the very few athletes or entertainers who didn't downplay how long he used steroids. Most of us assumed he started around Rocky 4 as he said given that he had to gain significant lean mass in a short period of time and then maintain 240-245 at 6'4"+ during filming and then got even bigger for Masters when he was 248-250. I wouldn't have even questioned him much if he had claimed that he stopped several years earlier around 1991-1993, but the decade he admits to adds up as there was less emphasis on his physique after the mid 90s and by the late 90s/early 2000s, he had slimmed down considerably and looked to be going for a more normal athletic appearance. I won't scrutinize the dose too much, but he is undoubtedly truthful when he says his use was very moderate compared to bodybuilders.

Thank god someone is honest finally 😮

Actors taking steroids is the worst kept secret in the business but yet almost all of them deny it or avoid talking about it. It’s always refreshing to hear when an actor actually does talk about it candidly.

wonder if Chris Hemsworth will be saying this when he's that age, or still pretending
