Θυμάστε τον Chris Pratt φίλες και φίλοι; Ναι, μιλάμε για εκείνη τη μακρινή και αθώα εποχή που ο Chris ήταν απλώς ο λατρεμένος chubby φίλος μας από το Parks and Recreation. Δυστυχώς έπειτα τον χάσαμε αυτόν τον Chris, και στη θέση του αναδύθηκε ο τίγκας που είδαμε στο Guardians of the Galaxy:

Κι ενώ στην καρδιά μας θα παραμένει πάντα ο παλιός εκείνος Chris Pratt, τώρα απ’ ό,τι φαίνεται θα χάσουμε άλλο ένα αγαπημένο πρόσωπο από την ίδια ασθένεια: την χολιγουντιανή σφιχτίαση. O Kumail Nanjiani, λοιπόν, είναι ο ηθοποιός και κωμικός που γνωρίσαμε κυρίως μέσα από το Silicon Valley και το The Big Sick. Να, αυτός:

Ε, ο Nanjiani κόλλησε το μικρόβιο με τον ίδιο τρόπο που το κόλλησε κι ο Pratt. Τον πήρε η Marvel να παίξει σε ταινία της. Και καθώς ετοιμάζεται να εμφανιστεί στο The Eternals, λοιπόν, μας παρουσίασε τον νέο εαυτό του:

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. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvel’s Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked. I would not have been able to do this if I didn’t have a full year with the best trainers and nutritionists paid for by the biggest studio in the world. I’m glad I look like this, but I also understand why I never did before. It would have been impossible without these resources and time. So big thanks to @grantrobertsfit who started working with me at the beginning of the year and made me understand true physical pain for months and months. Then, once we started shooting, a massive thanks to @davidhigginslondon and his team (@ellispartridge, @thebeardypt, @tomcheesemanfitness) for training me almost every day and making me strong, limber and injury free. I can almost touch my toes now. (And thank you for forcing me to do cheat meals David.) Matthews Street Catering for their delicious and healthy meals. And finally, the biggest thanks goes to @emilyvgordon for putting up with me complaining and talking about only working out and dieting for the last year. I promise I’ll be interesting again some day. #thirstyshirtless (Photo by @markupson.) (edit: I left off one very important person: @lancecallahan who trained me for 6 years and helped me build the foundation I could use to do this. Thank you!)

ΟΚ, πρώτον, what the fuck bro, we are sexually confused now. Δεύτερον, προφανέστατα αυτή η εξέλιξη δεν πέρασε καθόλου απαρατήρητη από τον ευγενή πληθυσμό του ίντερνετ. Ακολουθούν μερικές χαρακτηριστικά ψύχραιμες αντιδράσεις.

since yall think all brown folks look the same anyway feel free to confuse me for kumail nanjiani whenever you want now https://t.co/uTWRPqFtpU

Marvel fans: "Oh no! RDJ and Chris Evans are leaving the MCU. What are we going to do??"

My husband works hard for every role he takes, but he's worked hard in many new ways for this one. I'm so proud of him. I always have been.
Also, we spent the majority of this past weekend playing Borderlands 3 so don't think he's changed too much. https://t.co/AzlrdgXtHX
