Will Cozens recently shared a brief YouTube video featuring David Harbour, where the actor shared his candid thoughts on a particular subject. Harbour openly confessed that he has no desire to maintain visible abs consistently. Instead, he expressed his preference for having a robust and muscular physique, embracing his identity as a ‘thick man’ rather than striving for a perpetually shredded appearance.

Harbour went on to express his opinion, going as far as describing individuals with consistently shredded physiques as “insane.” According to him, achieving and maintaining a chiselled physique requires strict discipline in terms of food intake, as those individuals have to significantly reduce their food consumption.“These people that constantly have a 6 pack, it’s like insane. Like you don’t get to eat a candy bar or whatever”, he said in the video.
