Sacha Baron Cohen is 54 years old and appeared on the cover of Men’s Fitness UK with a physique no one expected from the actor who was once the skinny Borat.
He got ahead of the doubts himself and humorously revealed that he was “egotistical enough” to pull off such a transformation—it was not digital manipulation. The recipe, as he confessed, combined daily training, a protein-heavy diet, and something else: “Some celebrities use Ozempic, others private chefs, others trainers. I used all three”.
The change came just after finalizing his divorce from Isla Fisher and coincided with his debut as Mephisto in June 2025, the feared Marvel demon that the company itself had kept secret for years. Cohen found in the gym, as he says, his own particular way of entering his fifties.
