Sacha Baron Cohen, known for the tasty roles of “Borat” and “Dictator”, has transformed his body in a miraculous way. For the muscles he put, the 53-year-old British must be grateful to his personal trainer, but he acknowledged that he also used injections with Ozempic, a drug produced for diabetes patients, but is also used as an adjuvant in weight loss processes.
Last month, Sacha Baron Cohen was on the cover of Men's Fitness magazine in the UK, with a totally changed appearance: prominent, strong, abdominal biceps. All the muscles are well anointed with oil, which the actor himself laughed, with self -irony: “It is a manifestation of the crisis of middle age.”
The physical change was imposed on Sacha Baron Cohen by Marvel franchise. The actor plays in the Ironheart series from Disney+, in the role of Mephisto, a character, obviously, negative. A career relaunch to 180 degrees from the comedies in which he can maximize his famous irreverent humor.
In order to further emphasize the transformation that has been through lately, Sacha Baron Cohen has been extremely sincere on Instagram, using the same sarcasm to his own person: “Some celebrities use Ozempic, others use private chefs, others use personal coaches. I used them all three.”
Then he added: “This is not. I am so selfish that I did this!
Bad mouths say the role of the Marvel series is not the only reason Sacha Borat Cohen has adopted this new look, with a lot of sweat and food sacrifices. Last year, the actor born in London divorced Isla Fisher, 49, and an actress, who was married since 2010. The two have three children together.
Sacha Baron-Cohen was distinguished with the Golden Globe award for the role of Borat and Bafta for Ali G Show. The British also has three nominations for the Oscars.
Throughout his career, Sacha Baron-Cohen has often been criticized for the racist replies of the characters he embodied. He explained that “these exaggerated racism samples show how it feeds stupid clichés and ferocious bigotry” and that they do not characterize it.
