What are some movies where actors don’t physically match up to what they are trying to portray?

I ask because I remember watching The King and never really buying Timothy Chalamet as a king and being able to handle his own in single combat. He looks like he weighs about 170 and you’re telling me he can manhandle your average medieval knight out on the battlefield? I don’t know the rules of medieval warfare or even if kings actually were on the front lines but I never bought his physical performance in that movie.

On the flip side, I watched The Last Duel and saw Matt Damon and a massive Adam Driver and thought they would absolutely murder Timothy Chalamet out on a real battlefield. Both movies take place at around the same time but I bought more into The Last Duel because Damon was a seasoned warrior and Driver just looked like a massive medieval knight and it just felt right, you know? It just felt more believable and easier to accept.

Any movies where the physical part of the portrayal just doesn’t match it? It doesn’t even have to be a bad performance, just things not matching up.
