Sacha Baron Cohen Jokes He's ‘Hard-Launching' His ‘Mid-Life Crisis' as He Debuts Jacked Post-Divorce Body
The Borat star, 53, took to his Instagram Story on Wednesday, July 23, to share photos from his Men's Fitness UK shoot.
'This is not AI, I really am egotistical enough to do this,' he captioned one of the snapshots.
Another picture revealed Cohen's defined back muscles as he did pull-ups in a gym.
'Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, others use personal trainers,' he wrote. 'I did all three.'
He also showed showed off the photos in separate post on his Ingstagram page.
The Talladega Nights actor also joked that he was 'hard launching' his 'mid-life crisis' and 'debuting my new character: middle-aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes' in the captions of other photos.
He ended by thanking his personal trainer, Alfonso Moretti, for 'doing the unthinkable – putting up with me for 25 mins a day.'
Cohen's body transformation – which was reportedly inspired by his role as Mephisto in Marvel's Ironheart series on Disney+ – comes a little over a month after he announced that his divorce from ex-wife Isla Fisher had officially been finalized.
They couple got married in 2010 and share daughters Olive, 17, and Elula, 14, and son Montgomery, 9.
'We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to coparenting our wonderful children,' he and Fisher wrote in a joint statement on June 13.
Earlier this year, Fisher, 49, told the Sunday Times her divorce was 'the most difficult thing' that she'd been through.
'I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents,' she added at the time.
The Wedding Crashers actress also emphasized that their children are the 'most important thing' as they navigate this new normal.
'You want them to really feel safe and loved,' she explained. 'We are building a new, healthy version of what our family looks like and putting as much care and love into it as possible.'
While the former couple is committed to maintaining a healthy coparenting relationship, Fisher didn't mind taking to Instagram to make a playful dig at marriage in general earlier this month.
'For all the men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?' Here's an update for you,' a quote shared to her Instagram Story read. 'Nowadays, 80 percent of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.'

Get To Know Nounou, The Swimwear Brand For Your Radar
Inspired by the 1970s and her her mother's love for cotton bikinis, Anouchka Houser got thinking. When she struggled to find swimwear that felt both flattering and fun, everything slotted into place, and her swimwear brand, nounou was born. Expect a small but perfectly formed line of flirty cotton bikinis and bathing suits that call to the Mediterranean sun (talking of which, the label can be found at the super-chic Agora Ibiza). The chicness doesn't stop there as there's a seashell clasp, created with Jessica McCormack, of course the fellow London-based label who's famous for her fine jewels, which has become signature. Anouchka and her mother nounou Anouchka talks body positivity, retro inspiration, and the timeless appeal of nounou. Anouchka Houser: I had the idea for nounou 20 years ago, after my first child was born. I had my mother's cotton bikini from the '70s and wanted to create something with the same nostalgic aesthetic. Through a lot of encouragement and support from dear girlfriends, particularly Karl Templer, after years of dreaming, I finally had the courage to give it a go! AH: I couldn't find anything on the market made of cotton and felt this was missing. Also, as a mother of four I found it increasingly harder to find bikinis with coverage that felt flattering for post pregnancy. I wanted something that was minimal but still sexy, with shapes to fit most body types. AH: My great friend Jessica McCormack has been a huge inspiration and champion of nounou. During Covid I talked her through my concept, and we came up with the idea to create a signature shell clasp together, based on one of her designs. FC: What are the cornerstones of the company? AH: It's made in London; each piece is handcrafted from beautiful 100% cotton and a lingerie-like feel Italian jersey fabric. I have an incredible team of women with many years of experience between us in fashion and lingerie, they and friends are the heart of nounou. FC: How do you want someone to feel in nounou? AH: No matter how we feel about ourselves, I want women to feel confident and good about their bodies when they wear nounou. FC: What was on your mood board for the debut collection? AH: I had a crazy moodboard! A lot of references from the '60s and '70s and the photograph of my mother, which sits on our website which was the ultimate starting point. FC: What can we expect from the line? AH: The collection is ever evolving. Building on our successes, this season we introduced printed checks to the jersey collection, with synergistic solid colors. Introducing our 'forever black collection' was a milestone. A team member reminded me 'it's always sunny somewhere' so we aim to always have black pieces in stock. As we continue to grow, I've been humbled by the positive feedback from our customers, friends, and supporters of the brand. Realising we weren't catering to some women's needs, we will be introducing A and DD cups into our underwired styles for the new collection. We've even gone one step further with our jersey collection, adding a supportive layer of fabric for the bust, whilst gently sculpting the body of the swimsuits. Next season alongside the woven's, the jersey collection sees a return to femininity with retro florals prints, styled with natural wood-inspired rings. Our signature seashell clasp has been given a soft matte brushed gold finish - our nod to the classic styles of the era. FC: What's your favorite piece right now and why? AH: The Zoe swimsuit, named after my mother. I try to swim several times a week, so I like my swimsuit to be practical. It's super comfortable, hugs and supports my body. It's timeless, effortless but also a little cheeky. FC: What's the long-term plan for the brand? AH: I'm looking forward to exploring new print ideas and colors but my wish is to introduce some staple beachwear pieces, that can carry you from the beach to evening and for my customer to treasure their nounou's for years to come.
