from interviews and stories that i've read about the film, Meatloaf's
character is a bodybuilder who is suffering from testicular cancer and
taking hormones to fight the effects. whether or not it's an effect of
the steroids or the hormones, his character has grown larger breasts, ie
"bitch tits". and, on The Martin Short Show, he said that the bodysuit
went from his waist to his shoulders and weighed about 30 pounds.

Yes. The net effect was this: he caught testicular cancer, had his
testicles removed, started testosterone treatment which caused the
body to produce excess estrogen which caused him to grow breasts.
P.S. The Robert Paulsen character, that is, NOT Meat Loaf!

He *caught* cancer, eh? I hear you can get that from drinking out of the same
cup these days. ;)
And I'm suprised they didn't put him (the character) on some sort of
anti-estrogen therapy. I know they make a lot of them from biological females,
for various reasons...and one stops the production of it all together basically
by telling the brain not to make it anymore (that's my understanding anyway,
which I heard from someone who was looking into anti-estrogen therapy...zie
wasn't 100% sure on that, though) and is, AFAIK, safe for both biomales and
biofemales to take. But it's a movie, so i guess they didn't have to explore
that. Maybe they just wanted him to have man-tits. (The breasts are also
unusually large, even for an overweight man to have just from having his body
produce the amount of estrogen that's produced by testosterone therapy...even
male-to-female transgendered folk, on female hormone therapy, usually can't get
anywhere near that much growth. However, this is based on seeing the split
second shot of the tits that's in one of the previews...I haven't seen the
movie yet. Again, oh well.) I'll stop rambling about hormones now. Heh.

What a fukkin' great movie, everyone. It is a HELL of a lot more than just a
bunch of guys fighting. The camera work, writing, and acting or quite
brilliant.
Oh, and Meatloaf once again finds himself dead in a dining room, this time
ON a table insted of under it.
Go see Fight Club.

It's worth it for more than JUST seeing Meat Loaf Aday in it. The whole movie
is excellent. They catch you from the very start and don't let go until the
credits.
