Sacha Baron Cohen used Ozempic to get in shape for new movie<\/p>\n
The 53-year-old actor underwent a body transformation to play Marvel villain Mephisto in Ironheart but admitted he had a lot of help to get the new look.<\/p>\n
He posted some pictures of his new physique on Instagram Stories and wrote: \u201cSome celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, some use personal trainers. I did all three.’<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not AI. I really am egotistical enough to do this. <\/p>\n
\u201cDebuting my new character. Middle aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSacha revealed he first turned to Matthew McConaughey for help when he got the role and Matthew put him in touch with celebrity trainer Alfonso Moretti.<\/p>\n
\nHe joked to Men\u2019s Fitness UK: \u201cI called Matthew and asked for help. After asking who I was and how I\u2019d gotten his number, he finally gave me Alfonso\u2019s contact.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMarvel originally considered fitting Sacha with \u201cprosthetic muscles\u201d but he and Alfonso worked together to achieve his look in a \u201cvery short timeframe\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nAlfonso said: \u201cTo be fair to Sacha, he wasn\u2019t out of shape. But visually, he didn\u2019t have that \u2018in-shape\u2019 look. He looked more like a ruler \u2013 straight up and down. The studio was even thinking about fitting him with prosthetic muscles.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI\u2019m not going to take ultimate credit for this. Sacha had a good base to start with. He has good muscularity: the shape of his muscles, his insertions (where the muscle fibres attach to the bones via tendons), the length of his attachments \u2013 he was like an athlete in hiding. But we had a very short timeframe to achieve the look the studio wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAnd Cohen\u2019s mindset about exercise has changed thanks to his work with Alfonso.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cMy mindset around fitness has definitely evolved. [I love] X-ups. I\u2019ve always found core workouts challenging, as I\u2019m blessed with the core strength of an arthritic jellyfish, so being able to do them now is a reminder of how far I\u2019ve come.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI now believe that just 20 to 30 minutes of movement a day can make a real difference \u2013 and it\u2019s something anyone can fit into their routine, especially celebrities with personal assistants to do all the boring stuff like shopping and attending friends\u2019 funerals. So, no excuses!\u201d<\/p>\n
