Sacha Baron Cohen has left fans astonished with his latest physical transformation ahead of a new Netflix role. The 54-year-old actor, known for characters like Borat and Ali G, is no stranger to drastic makeovers. However, this time, no makeup or prosthetics were needed to showcase his chiseled physique.
Sacha Baron Cohen's Instagram Reveal
Posting a series of images on Instagram, Sacha shared behind-the-scenes moments from his work on the Netflix film Ladies First, starring Rosamund Pike. The photos featured him wearing leather chaps and a cowboy hat, displaying his toned abs and muscular build. In the caption, he humorously wrote: 'I'm only posting the first photo for engagement, not because I'm a vain Hollywood twat (ok perhaps a little).' He added: 'Ladies First, starring Rosamund Pike and little old me, is out now on Netflix! Don't scroll on TikTok while you watch it, Netflix can tell. Here are some behind the scenes with the truly amazing cast, we can't wait for you to see it.'
Fan Reactions
Fans quickly flooded the comments with praise. One user named Sarah called him 'buff,' while Aimee exclaimed, 'Wow, you look amazing.' Irina commented, 'Appreciating the work(out) you put into it.' Jay joked, 'I thought we were about to get a Bruno 2 there for a second.'
Previous Transformation and Comments
This follows Sacha's earlier 'mid-life crisis' body transformation last year, which also shocked fans. Appearing on the cover of Men's Fitness, he quipped: 'This is not AI, I really am egotistical enough to do this. Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, others use personal trainers. I did all three.' He added that he was 'hard launching my mid-life crisis' and 'debuting my new character: middle aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes.' He thanked his personal trainer Alfonso Moretti 'for doing the unthinkable – putting up with me for 25 mins a day.'
About Ladies First
The comedian's latest film, Ladies First, released on Netflix today, is a gender-swap comedy. It follows arrogant chauvinist Damien Sachs (played by Sacha), who, after a concussion, wakes up in a parallel universe where women hold all the power. Struggling to navigate the matriarchal society, he goes head-to-head with Alex Fox (Rosamund Pike), a fiercely ambitious and formally underappreciated employee. Ladies First is now available to stream on Netflix.
