Sacha Baron Cohen Jokes He’s ‘Hard-Launching’ His ‘Mid-Life Crisis’ as He Debuts Jacked Post-Divorce Body

Sacha Baron Cohen isn’t afraid to show off his ripped physique!

The Borat star, 53, took to his Instagram Story on Wednesday, July 23, to share photos from his Men’s Fitness UK shoot.

“This is not AI, I really am egotistical enough to do this,” he captioned one of the snapshots.

Another picture revealed Cohen’s defined back muscles as he did pull-ups in a gym.

“Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, others use personal trainers,” he wrote. “I did all three.”

He also showed showed off the photos in separate post on his Ingstagram page.

The Talladega Nights actor also joked that he was “hard launching” his “mid-life crisis” and “debuting my new character: middle-aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes” in the captions of other photos.

He ended by thanking his personal trainer, Alfonso Moretti, for “doing the unthinkable – putting up with me for 25 mins a day.”

Cohen’s body transformation – which was reportedly inspired by his role as Mephisto in Marvel’s Ironheart series on Disney+ – comes a little over a month after he announced that his divorce from ex-wife Isla Fisher had officially been finalized.

They couple got married in 2010 and share three children.

“We are proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to coparenting our wonderful children,” he and Fisher wrote in a joint statement on June 13.

Earlier this year, Fisher, 49, told the Sunday Times her divorce was “the most difficult thing” that she’d been through.

“I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents,” she added at the time.

The Wedding Crashers actress also emphasized that their children are the “most important thing” as they navigate this new normal.

“You want them to really feel safe and loved,” she explained. “We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible.”

While the former couple is committed to maintaining a healthy coparenting relationship, Fisher didn’t mind taking to Instagram to make a playful dig at marriage in general earlier this month.

“For all the men who say, ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?’ Here’s an update for you,” a quote shared to her Instagram Story read. “Nowadays, 80 percent of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.”
