MY EX-WIFE: Divorced Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen Got JACKED With Muscle To Play Mephisto. Now One Of The Strongest 53 Year Olds On Earth

Jagshemash! When's the last time you heard that line huh? I know Borat has kinda lost his luster over the past few years but it's undeniable how much Sacha Baron Cohen impacted the comedy landscape of the 2000s. Incredible character interviews, demented pranks, social commentary not so thinly veiled in offensive absurd moments. He really did it all. 

Well, aside from continuing a successful marriage with actress Isla Fisher. You DEFINITELY remember her from 'Wedding Crashers' (FYI I can't post dinner table HJs on here, sorry)

That's no shade to Sacha, he did keep it up with her for over 20 years together. 13 of those married. But they filed for divorce in 2023, tried to co-parent their 3 kids until officially splitting in April 2024. With the dotted lines finally signed in June 2025, there was only one thing left for Borat to do. 

Fully embrace this beautiful tragic mid-life crisis to the fullest and get absolutely JACKED. Hell yeah brother! Buy yourself a sick Camaro while you're at it. Flame decals & all. 

(Mens Fitness) -  Both Cohen and his trainer, Alfonso Moretti, spoke to Men’s Fitness UK about the routine behind his transformation—which included 25-minute workout sessions and no calorie counting. “Bodyweight exercises, pullups, pushups, squats. Minimal equipment. Sacha is very strong—he can do 10 to 12 solid pullups and chin-ups no problem, which for someone 6’3” is rare. But by no means would you have looked at him and said, “He works out,'” Moretti said.

Consistency was the key factor leading to Cohen’s transformation. For him, that meant committing to 25-minute daily workout sessions.“In the past, I would’ve thought you needed hour-long sessions,” Cohen said. “But the short sessions made it so much easier to stay consistent—even with the demands of being on set.” Their approach to diet was similarly straightforward. “High fiber, low sugar, plenty of protein—nothing fancy, nothing extreme. We didn’t count calories. We focused on smart choices,” Moretti said.

Far be it from me to encourage you to Tweet at Sacha and ask him if he's on the JUICE right, he loves talking to his“fans”. I'd prefer you choose love, and simply accept the explanations from his Instagram. He did it the old fashioned way! 

GRIT. And a smidge of The Big O.

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

“This is not AI. I really am egotistical enough to do this.”

“Debuting my new character: Middle-aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes… Hard launching my mid-life crisis.”

The real question is here, did he do all of this lifting to help get over a messy divorce to an absolute babe… Or was it purely career driven from playing a Marvel supervillain now? And not just any villain, but a badass demon who's more shredded than a julienne salad man. 

I'm talking motherfuckin' MEPHISTO. 

MCU fans had been waiting on his appearance for years and finally got it in the season finale of 'Ironheart'. He's one of the more powerful bad guys in the comics and basically goes around offering endless Faustian bargains. Should be fun to have him in the mix for 'Doomsday' and beyond. 

So kudos to Da Ali G for paying the piper with gallons of sweat and showing us all what 25 minutes of working out (plus a personal trainer & private chef & millions of dollars) can do for your health. Granted he's not really a trail blazer in that regard. 

Frank The Tank has been walking laps around him for years. 

Even still, I will salute him with a genuine booyakasha for his efforts. Boh!

PS: If it wasn't clear from the Wedding Crashers clips, do NOT fuck with Isla Fisher. 

Duly noted!

(Daily Mail) -  The actress fired off a cheeky take on an age-old saying – and turned it completely on its head. 'For all the men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"  

Here's an update for you,' her post began. Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realise it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.'   In response to the jibe, a source told The Sun: 'Isla knows exactly what she's doing here and there's zero doubt it will enrage Sacha no end.'
