Variety:

Macfarlane is ripped. In fact, his body is almost its own character in Universal’s upcoming “Bros.” Macfarlane co-stars in the gay rom-com as Billy Eichner’s love interest, Aaron, a “straight-acting and -appearing” attorney with serious commitment issues. He spends most of his screen time shirtless or in a T-shirt.

Macfarlane wasn’t always so jacked. “I was doing ‘Brothers & Sisters’ and it was coming near the end and I thought to myself, ‘Boy, I really want to change what I look like.’ And Tyler helped me with that,” Macfarlane remembers as he casually does curls with 30-pound dumbbells.

11 years later, he’s bulked up 25 pounds. He can bench-press 315 pounds too.
