Actor Sacha Baron Cohen, famous for his role in "Borat", has undergone a significant physical transformation, now sporting a muscular physique.
Sacha Baron Cohen, the acclaimed British actor known for his iconic roles in films like "Borat," has made headlines once again, this time for his remarkable physical transformation. The 53-year-old star has undergone a significant change in his physique, showcasing an impressive six-pack and defined arms, for his role as the villain Mephisto in the upcoming Marvel series, "Ironheart."
Cohen's new look was revealed in a cover story for "Men's Fitness UK" and has been a topic of discussion on social media. In the article, Cohen admitted that his fitness level before training was "the core strength of a jellyfish," but with dedication and the right guidance, he has managed to achieve what many might consider unattainable at his age.
To achieve this transformation, Cohen turned to Alfonso "The Angry Trainer" Moretti, a well-known fitness expert in the industry. Together, they devised a rigorous training regimen that required Cohen to work out for just about 25 minutes a day. This approach, Cohen explained, reflects an evolved mindset toward fitness and muscle building.
The results of Cohen's hard work were evident, with his Mephisto costume needing multiple alterations to accommodate his improved physique. In the series, Cohen is seen wearing a neon green Mankini, a stark contrast to his muscular frame.
Cohen has been open about the methods he used to achieve his new physique. He mentioned relying on a personal chef, using the diabetes medication Ozempic, and hiring Moretti as his personal trainer. Cohen, who is known for his self-deprecating humour, jokingly claimed that he is "truly egomaniacal" enough to undergo such a transformation for a role.
Despite the transformation, Cohen assures that the photos are not AI-generated. He addressed the doubts about image manipulation or artificial intelligence in his photos, asserting that the changes in his physique are the result of his dedication and hard work.
While Cohen's personal life, including his divorce from Isla Fisher, has not been a focus in this transformation story, his new physique is undeniably a testament to his commitment to his craft and his determination to push his boundaries.
