Sacha Baron Cohen's Shocking Transformation: From Borat to Buff Marvel Villain!
SACHA BARON COHEN'S SHOCKING TRANSFORMATION!
The world is obsessed with superheroes, and Sacha Baron Cohen has just joined the league! The 53-year-old actor, best known for his iconic comedy roles as Ali G and Borat, has undergone a superhuman transformation to play Mephisto, a devil-like figure who makes Faustian bargains in the Marvel universe.
In a jaw-dropping photoshoot for Men's Fitness UK, Sacha showed off his ripped physique, which he achieved with just three weeks of intense training. The actor revealed that he turned to celebrity trainer Alfonso Moretti, who is known for transforming physiques on impossible deadlines. But what's even more shocking? Matthew McConaughey played a role in Sacha's transformation!
According to the article, Sacha called Matthew and asked for help getting in touch with Alfonso. Matthew eventually gave him the trainer's contact number, after initially being perplexed by who Sacha was and how he got his number! The two had a FaceTime meeting during which Alfonso instructed Sacha to strip down to his underwear (because, why not?).
Sacha's transformation didn't come without some serious commitment. He was tasked with doing 100 push-ups every day, as well as short workouts and a diet high in fiber and protein, low in sugar. By the two-week mark, Sacha's wardrobe team had to spend a whopping $5,000 (£3,600) altering costumes because his body had changed so significantly.
But what's truly impressive is Sacha's dedication to his training. Even while filming, he would take breaks for workouts. His trainer Alfonso gushed about how committed Sacha was, saying that even after 15 hours of filming, Sacha would still ask if they could squeeze in a workout!
In an Instagram post announcing his new look, Sacha joked that this is "not AI, I really am egotistical enough to do this." He also quipped that he's "hard launching my mid-life crisis" and "debuting my new character: middle-aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes."
Alfonso, the trainer, shared the magazine cover on Instagram, writing that he is "proud" of Sacha for following his plan. He captioned the post: "Sacha trusted my process and followed the plan exactly... The COVER of Men's Fitness!!!"
This transformation has left fans stunned! Is this a new era for Sacha Baron Cohen? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - he's definitely got our attention!
