I do not mean working myself to the bone. I mean taking pride in challenging oneself like trying to run 3 miles a day or taking on the toughest jobs at work. People are at work to get paid but some people will just do enough to warrant their pay while others will go that extra mile.
And by stress I did not mean like putting one's body into overdrive and working hard enough to cause a heart attack or other serious health problem. I was talking about a healthy amount of stress like just enough to increase the adrenaline. Our bodies are designed to handle stress and if pushed enough, the stress actually makes us more productive. Some people like to cut it close to deadlines or some like to multitask all the time. For them, it works and it might be healthy for them. They thrive on a little stress.
I used that casino example as what you can expect from Hollywood movies, how they glorify the gambling scene. I know someone who was in debt from gambling and I would not wish that on anyone, let alone myself. So no, I do not find it glamorous.
Actually, having more muscle helps your body to metabolize fat more efficiently. So by increasing muscle tone, they are actually keeping their BMI low and their metabolisms are faster than the average person.

There's nothing 'earned' in bodybuilding at all. It's either for narcissism, or to get other people to find you attractive. Who cares how you do it? At most, only you.
