Sacha Baron Cohen Has Seriously Hit The Weight Room For His Role In 'The Spy'

The Borat star is not joking around - by Alex Pierotti

Borat actor Sascha Baron Cohen has never shied away from getting his rig out - who can forget his nude wrestling scene in the popular comedy. But now the comedian has moved on to more serious roles - his latest character is that of real-life Israeli intelligence operative Eli Cohen in the Netflix Original Series The Spy - and the Brit is spending some serious time in the weights room. 

His wife, actress Isla Fisher, shared footage to Instagram of Cohen hammering out some bicep curls, with a noticeably leaner and more defined physique.

"So proud of the Hubs @sachabaroncohen getting a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a limited series," she captioned the video. 

"He worked so hard transforming for his role in The Spy- not just getting rid of his dad-bod (see video) but learning three dialects, including Syrian and living in Casablanca, mainly in character for 4 months while shooting. This honour is shared with Eli Cohen‘s family, thank you for letting him bring the story to screen and to the HFPA 🌟"

His body transformation didn't go unnoticed by the couple's famous friends. Chelsea Handler is clearly a fan of the new look: "it's important for us to realise that Sacha is indeed hot," while Mindy Kaling left a slightly more MA+ comment: "great now i'm turned on"

Courtney Cox also left words of encouragement: "Yes Sacha!!!!"

While Cohen has previously won a Golden Globe for his work in Borat, this year's nomination for The Spy is the first time he's been recognised for a more dramatic role.
