Hollywood heroes refuse to ageDate: 14.03.2007

M(O)USE DROPPINGS - SIMON VITA
Hot on the heels of reports that Arnold Schwarzenegger is finding it harder and harder to stay trim, it is alleged that his 80s action hero rival Sylvester Stallone is attempting to find the fountain of youth in a bottle.
This week, charges that Stallone attempted to import human growth hormone into Australia were heard in a local court.
I guess he could argue that if Hollywood 'dyed-by-their-own-hands' suicide blondes can get their locks from the bottle, why can't he do the same for his six pack.
In both cases, the chemical enhancement is designed to keep the magic alive for us, the movie-going public.
It has to be hard to maintain a fitness regimen like the one that gave Rambo his torso once you hit 60.
There's that old adage: "sure, bodybuilding gives you the muscles and stuff, but once you've stopped training you run to fat."
It's an adage that's usually bandied about by people who are jealous of those with only one chin who want an excuse for not exercising.
Me, I can't be bothered offering excuses.
In my experience people don't actually run to fat, fat runs to them.
It seems to be running quite quickly too, with Kiwis spending $103 million on fast food in January alone.
I don't know how much I've contributed to that $103 million, but my fondness for the wonton and the chicken-wing mean it's more than I need to.
I'm a virtual stranger at my gym and these days, apart from my daily commute, my bike hardly sees any action.
About the only upside to this is the fact that there's no pressure on me to reach for the gro-juice to keep up appearances.
My too-tough-to-diet appearance can be kept up with substances that even the Australian government don't currently object to, and that's the way I like it.
