TheSilicon Valleystar, 41, transformed his body for a role in Marvel’s upcoming movieTheEternals —and had no shame in showing off his months of hard work withtwo “thirsty” shirtless photoson Instagram earlier this week.
“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,” Nanjiani wrote. “I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvel’s Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked.”
However,theBig Sickco-writeralso emphasized in his caption that his new figure would not have been possible without his movie star status.
