Connecting with GQ Australia, Courtney discusses body image in Hollywood. He confesses, “For me, it’s a struggle to stay lean and kind of be as average as I can.” Courtney explains, “Versatility’s something you want more than anything. If you’re little then you’re never going to be big, so there’s opportunities you won’t get–but that works the other way, too.”
The 31-year-old actor confides that he is often told to drop pounds for certain roles. Courtney says, “It doesn’t make it fun to hear but it’s part of what we do and you can approach that stuff healthily. Unfortunately, though, there are personalities in this business who have no tact when it comes to suggesting things like that.”
