Kumail Nanjiani Got Ripped for Marvel’s ‘The Eternals’ and Posted Some Shirtless Pics for Us to Admire

Kumail Nanjiani, who is probably best known for his roles in Silicon Valley and doing voice work as Prismo in Adventure Time, is joining the MCU in next year’s ‘The Eternals’ as Kingo. And boy, is he shredded for the role.

Yesterday, Nanjiani posted a couple of pictures to Instagram featuring his latest gains for the role, thanking Disney for giving him the best nutritionists and fitness instructors on the planet. Talk a look at Nanjiani’s ‘Thirsty Shirtless’ pics below, and try to control yourself while you do.

I never thought I’d be one of those people who would post a thirsty shirtless, but I’ve worked way too hard for way too long so here we are. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvel’s Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked. I would not have been able to do this if I didn’t have a full year with the best trainers and nutritionists paid for by the biggest studio in the world. I’m glad I look like this, but I also understand why I never did before. It would have been impossible without these resources and time. So big thanks to @grantrobertsfit who started working with me at the beginning of the year and made me understand true physical pain for months and months. Then, once we started shooting, a massive thanks to @davidhigginslondon and his team (@ellispartridge, @thebeardypt, @tomcheesemanfitness) for training me almost every day and making me strong, limber and injury free. I can almost touch my toes now. (And thank you for forcing me to do cheat meals David.) Matthews Street Catering for their delicious and healthy meals. And finally, the biggest thanks goes to @emilyvgordon for putting up with me complaining and talking about only working out and dieting for the last year. I promise I’ll be interesting again some day. #thirstyshirtless (Photo by @markupson.) (edit: I left off one very important person: @lancecallahan who trained me for 6 years and helped me build the foundation I could use to do this. Thank you!)
