Sacha Baron Cohen, the 53-year-old comedian and actor, has made a remarkable transformation for his role in the Marvel series "Ironheart". The British-American star, known for his comedic roles in films like "Borat" and "Alice Through the Looking Glass", has stepped into a more serious and physical role as the villain "Mephisto" in the final episode of "Ironheart" season 1, which was recently shown on Disney+ on July 1st.
Cohen's Instagram Story has been buzzing with humour about his vanity and the role, with a joking reference to still wearing his "Borat" mankini under his clothes. However, the real transformation took place off-screen, as Cohen dramatically changed his physique to become a muscular hunk for the series.
The actor revealed that his transformation involved a rigorous training routine of only 25 minutes a day, under the guidance of celebrity trainer Alfonso Moretti. Cohen's body changed so dramatically after just three weeks that his costume had to be altered to accommodate his new physique.
Matthew McConaughey, another Hollywood heavyweight, played a part in Cohen's transformation journey. McConaughey reportedly referred Cohen to Moretti, who helped the actor achieve the desired result. Cohen had to maintain the workout routine even on shooting days, demonstrating his commitment to the role.
Cohen himself has spoken about the changes he made to his diet, stating that he replaced beer with protein shakes. Despite the transformation, Cohen referred to himself as "a middle-aged man" in an Instagram Story, maintaining his humorous and self-deprecating tone.
It's worth noting that Cohen's transformation was not the result of AI-generated changes, using Ozempic, or hiring a private chef. The actor credited his transformation to hard work and dedication, setting a great example for fans and fellow actors alike.
With his impressive physical transformation, Cohen is poised to make a strong impact in the Marvel universe. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see what he brings to the table in future seasons of "Ironheart".
I'm not gonna be able to maintain this new fitness and exercise routine like Sacha Baron Cohen did for his role in Ironheart. Despite the transformation, he still humorously referred to himself as "a middle-aged man," showing that even in health-and-wellness changes, a sense of self-deprecation persists.
