Sacha Baron Cohen’s Extreme Weight Loss Journey Revealed
Sacha Baron Cohen recently made headlines when he credited Ozempic for his extreme weight loss transformation. However, his representatives quickly dismissed the claim, stating that his new physique was the result of “hard work” and dedication.
The actor expressed his gratitude towards his personal trainer, acknowledging the effort put in during their training sessions. Cohen revealed that he had a mere three weeks to get into superhero shape for his upcoming role as Mephisto, a devil-like character known for making Faustian bargains.
In preparation for the role, Cohen sought the help of celebrity trainer Alfonso Moretti, recommended to him by Matthew McConaughey. Moretti, known for his ability to transform physiques within tight deadlines, had Cohen strip down to his underwear during their initial FaceTime meeting.
With limited time available, Cohen was tasked with maintaining consistency in his workouts, including a daily routine of “100 push-ups.” Despite the challenges, he embraced the rigorous training regimen in order to achieve his desired physique.
While the initial claim of using Ozempic may have been a joke, there is no denying the dedication and hard work that Sacha Baron Cohen put into his weight loss journey. His commitment to the role of Mephisto is evident in his physical transformation, showcasing his versatility as an actor.
