No, but it's also taking place several decades ago. People can't de-age but they can drop/gain unhealthy amounts of weight to fit a part if the writer/producer/director has a narrow vision of who to cast because they want a name vs a "character" actor who could do just as well if not better and not have to yoyo diet and wreck their heart like Christian Bale or Jared Leto

I’m not at all for doing anything that could damage anyones health by drastically changing their body, but for some of these roles, the “character” is supposed to be sick, unhealthy or malnourished. I don’t know many people who are actors actively going on auditions that have malnourished bodies on a daily basis. The only reason some of these big name actors do it is because they have a hefty salary and possible award buzz afterward. A lesser known actor would be hard pressed to be guaranteed either of those, even if they are better in the role.
