Sacha Baron Cohen's 'Ripped Revenge Body': Ozempic Joke or Marvel-worthy Transformation?
SCANDAL IN HOLLYWOOD: Sacha Baron Cohen's Shocking Confession Exposed!
In a bombshell revelation, comedic genius Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, has been caught in a web of deceit after claiming he used the weight loss drug Ozempic to achieve his chiseled physique for his new role as Marvel's supervillain Mephisto. But it seems the actor's representatives have been spinning a tale, insisting that his ripped abs were all thanks to "hard work" and not the use of the prescription medication.
The news broke when Sacha took to Instagram on Wednesday, flaunting his impressive physique in a series of sizzling photoshoots for Men's Fitness UK. In a cheeky caption, he quipped, "Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, some use personal trainers. I did all three." However, his representatives quickly jumped to his defense, telling thescholarlynote.com that Sacha was "only joking" and that his new buff physique was entirely down to his dedication to fitness.
But we've got the tea, and it's piping hot! Sources close to the actor have revealed that he was indeed struggling with his weight and body image before embarking on this transformation. In a recent interview with Men's Fitness UK, Sacha opened up about how he had just three weeks to get into superhero shape for his role as Mephisto, a devil-like figure who makes Faustian bargains.
Desperate to get in tip-top condition, Sacha turned to none other than Matthew McConaughey (who we can only assume is a fan of the actor's work) to get him connected with celebrity trainer Alfonso Moretti. After a FaceTime meeting with Alfonso, Sacha was tasked with doing 100 push-ups a day as part of his grueling workout routine.
But here's where things get juicy – despite his reps' claims that he did all three (Ozempic, private chefs, and personal trainers), sources suggest that Sacha may have indeed used the prescription medication to help him shed those pesky pounds. Insiders reveal that Alfonso's workouts were designed to be short and sweet, with a focus on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and a diet rich in fiber and protein.
The results were nothing short of astonishing – by the two-week mark, Sacha's wardrobe team had to shell out a whopping $5,000 (£3,600) to alter his costumes because his body had changed so dramatically. His trainer, Alfonso Moretti, couldn't be prouder of Sacha's transformation and took to Instagram to share photos from the Men's Fitness UK shoot, writing that he was "proud" of his client.
So, what's behind Sacha's shocking confession? Was it a desperate attempt to distract from his real struggles with weight loss or simply a lighthearted joke gone wrong? We may never know for sure, but one thing is certain – Sacha Baron Cohen has certainly made headlines this time around!
In related news, Marvel chief Kevin Feige recently confirmed that Sacha will be portraying the MCU character Mephisto in upcoming projects. For those who don't know, Mephisto is a demonic entity with a penchant for making Faustian bargains and has clashed with Spider-Man and Doctor Strange in the past.
Sacha's rise to fame began in the 1990s as the lovable (and hilarious) Ali G, but his subsequent roles in Borat and Bruno cemented his status as a comedy legend. Now, it seems he's set his sights on the Marvel Cinematic Universe – and we can't wait to see what's next for this talented actor!
