Youbetcha. As a film actor whose vast majority of gigs depended on being in shape, I assure you that roid use in Hollywood is the norm, not the exception. I'll tell you a funny story -
In order to generate pay betwixt films, I worked on a few of those television series that were all about display (VIP, Baywatch, etc...), and on these sets it was common practice for a discussion about physique training to happen almost every day. I mean we are talking about some self-absorbed pea brained folks here, myself included in that category for sure lol. So anyway, I remember one day on the set of one of these series we were engaged in one of these discussions in the men's dressing room again, just like every day. I was on a pretty much perpetual cycle of all the drugs that keep a guy ripped and dry and was at that point where I could eat whatever the hell I wanted whenever I wanted and sit on the couch all day and still stay at 5-6% bf, totally pumped and vascular. We're talking a ridiculous lifestyle here: Pumping winstrol, tren, and prop on a daily basis and eating without regard for anything except incorporating lots of lean red meat, and simply riding my bike enough to stay small (I always preferred the boxer look to the bb). Anyway, on this particular day a temp extra was in the dressing room with us for the first time and was listening to the talk about what bran muffins were allowed whilst dieting *yes we bullshitted each other even as to our steroid use - to listen to us, you'd think NONE of us were on ANYTHNG lol - we all claimed to be absolutely natural whenever we were within earshot of anyone save close friends - anyway this fella suddenly interrupts and says "You guys sound worse than a room full of female fitness models talking shop. At least THEY admit what they use to each other, and they even talk about dating every now and then!" Turns out he had done some time in that world and knew from whence he was speaking. It made me stop and think for a minute about what I was doing to myself, but it didn't make me want to stop.
The only thing that made me stop doing things that way was having my liver cease to function and nearly dying as a result.
Incidentally I know of many actors who have had close calls with disaster from mixing steroids and rec drugs. The culprit almost always involves alcohol with something like anavar or winstrol, although there is also a high percentage of severe damage and medical emergency caused from the overuse of stimulants combined with diuretics.
I mean we actors who depend largely on our physiques are a mess lol! Fortunately I no longer have to be an anatomy chart year round, but still, even in my later forties, the insecure narcissist remains, and I do utilize a low dose tren regimen to maintain my current physique.
Worse than opioid addiction, the addiction to the artificially shortened route to cosmetic improvent.
