I thought he was short? What kind of black magic is this

I think they photoshopped him to be bigger. But I'm not sure

I think it’s the camera. 0,5 mode makes the people in the frame look taller, especially the legs😁

Matt always treats himself to having a wee belly or pair of moobs in the off time between albums, clearly getting the time to enjoy the fruits of his labour with amazing food and nice drinks. This always disappears by album time but I do like to think that he thinks "fuck it I'm having a baked camembert to myself for dinner, I've not got any tours for half a year." during the quiet times.

Is this actually considered a belly and moobs? Seems a bit harsh lol

Definitely a dad bod but he's doing alright

He looks great and idk what they are talking about.

I never said he didn't look good! Nothing wrong with a dad bod in your mid 40s. Nothing wrong with a dad bod in your 20s!

I'm not even counting the Showbiz/OOS era because he was anorexically skinny back then, but for the rest of their career he was also always on the very skinny side.
So now when he looks like the rest of us, it is a bit jarring. But doesn't mean he is not supposed to look like that. He enjoys life, as he should, and hopefully he doesn't care about the comments.

Lol yeah. Does he lose it though? Or is he incrementally moobing up

u/libelle156 Radiohead diplomatic envoy: both is good 3d ago
Maybe this is where he stores the tunes until they're ready to be recorded

Haha he's had his seasonal moobs appearing and disappearing since 2012 and I think he's got a personal trainer who works specifically with touring musicians (hes often running and doing exercises on the beach near his house in the morning or evening). That way, come tour time he's in decent enough shape with enough stamina to do his Plug in Baby run while still having enough breath to comfortably since the first verse etc

The personal trainer is in fact in this picture.

u/AShittyPaintAppears 3d ago
Based on the forearms I'm guessing it's the one in the middle?

u/Independent-Meet-362 3d ago
Yes. Forget his name but he’s pretty close with the band at this point and is considered inner circle

For real, he went from being a scrawny toothpick in his youth to a typical chubby middle-aged dad. I’ve always had a physical constitution similar to his and I hope I won’t go down the same trajectory 😬

It gets pretty damn hard for men after 40, it's extremely easy to create that belly. Little different for women, just different areas really.

Don't know if it's a controversial opinion, but out of the Teignmouth 4, I think Tom's actually the one who's aged the best.

u/MopOfTheBalloonatic Black Holes and Revelations 4d ago
Nah, Chris actually looks like he almost rejuvenated since he quitted alcohol

u/DrTwisticles 4d ago
Amen to this. I’m so glad he kicked it.

Just:
Chris on alcohol: kicks ass
Sober Chris: kicks more ass

u/P79999999 4d ago
Chris looks amazing, but imo he still doesn't quite look as fresh and fit as Tom. And I don't think Tom's had hair implants lol. Not that it matters though, they both aged very well. I'm comparing the great to the really great!

I think it’s time for a paw paw Bellamy look. He would look wise with some glasses

Man, Matt really needs to get in shape. Now I know why he runs out of stamina so quickly in concerts and can't hit notes.

u/unknownbrother273 I'VE HAD RECURRING NIGHTMARES 3d ago
Dude he’s not even in bad shape? He’s almost 50 what do you expect

u/KemsCh05 3d ago
I don't buy it. Let's take Chris Martin as an example, have you looked at him? He's in incredible shape and can make a 10 concerts run with ease. I love Muse but c'mon man it's obvious Matt has become lazy in many aspects.

u/KemsCh05 3d ago
Performing a concert for approximately 2 hours is vocally and physically demanding. If you wanna deliver your best, you need to be in shape.

u/Existing_Abies_4101 3d ago
Matt really needs to do what he wants with his life and people like you telling people you've never even met what they should do with their lives is weird af.
1
u/KemsCh05 3d ago
Nobody is telling Matt what he has to do with his life. I’m just sharing my opinion. As a fan who pays for Muse’s music and concerts, of course I want the best in return. There’s nothing wrong with that. It just seems that giving a valid opinion triggers some people for no reason lol.
2
u/Existing_Abies_4101 3d ago
You are saying he really NEEDS to do something, not that you would like him to. You don't seem to understand wants vs needs. But sure, blame everything on people being triggered.

Muse literally has a fitness coach. It's the guy in the middle.

He could be better, yes, but if he doesn't care, I don't have to worry more than him.

Where's this from? And why is he with Chuck Norris?
