Ben Foster Doped To Play Lance Armstrong
Ben Foster wouldn’t use crystal meth to play a meth-head in “Alpha Dog,” so why did he ingest performance-enhancing drugs to play Lance Armstrong in the new movie, “The Program”? ““I don’t want to talk about the names of the drugs I took,†he explains. “Even discussing it feels tricky because it isn’t something I’d recommend to fellow actors. These are very serious chemicals and they affect your body in real ways. For my own investigation it was important for me privately to understand it. And they work.†Really? Did you think Lance was taking them all those years for grins?
