Sacha Baron Cohen blows fans away with ‘buff’ physique in leather chaps

Sacha Baron Cohen has wowed fans with his latest body transformation ahead of a Netflix role.

The 54-year-old Borat and Ali G star is no stranger to making himself look unrecognisable.

However, this time around, no makeup or prosthetics were needed to show off his ripped physique.

Posting a photo on Instagram of himself wearing leather chaps and a cowboy hat, Sacha shared a series of images from his time working on his new Netflix film Ladies First, starring Rosamund Pike.

Captioning the post, he wrote: ‘I’m only posting the first photo for engagement, not because I’m a vain Hollywood twat (ok perhaps a little).

‘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.’

Reacting to his photos, which showed off his toned abs and muscly physique, several fans heaped praise in the comments section.

One user called Sarah dubbed the actor ‘buff’ while Aimee could barely contain her excitement as she said: ‘Wow, you look amazing.’

Irina also added: ‘Appreciating the work(out) you put into it.’

Jay, meanwhile, joked: ‘I thought we were about to get a Bruno 2 there for a second.’

This comes after Sacha previously shocked fans with his ‘mid-life crisis’ body transformation last year.

Appearing on the cover of Men’s Fitness, Sacha said: ‘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.’

The Dictator star went on to say he is ‘hard launching my mid-life crisis’ and ‘debuting my new character: middle aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes’.

He also thanked his personal trainer Alfonso Moretti ‘for doing the unthinkable – putting up with me for 25 mins a day’.

The comedian’s latest film Ladies First, which has released on the streaming platform today, is a gender-swap comedy following arrogant chauvinist Damien Sachs (Sacha).

After a concussion, the advertising executive wakes up in a parallel universe where women hold all the power.

After struggling to navigate the matriarchal society he then goes head-to-head with Alex Fox (Rosamund), a fiercely ambitious, formally underappreciated employee.

Ladies First is available to stream on Netflix.
