OK, no way. Ant Man's abs are one thing, but Simon Pegg? We’ve seen Run Fatboy Run already, and there’s no way the instantly recognizable British comedy icon managed to get as Marvel-shredded as actors are expected to nowadays.

Well, he didn’t really. He actually got even more jacked than most of them can manage.

Hard as it is to believe, the pictures are here to prove us wrong. Like it, hate it, or just be mildly discomfited by the extremity of it (as the majority of online reactors seem to be), there’s no denying that Pegg has followed in the footsteps of fellow former funny men Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, and his fellow forties-leaver Paul Rudd.

The former muse of Edgar Wright shared his progress to the awe of many, displaying a shocking level of definition on his trainer’s Instagram post. Pegg set about dropping pounds to play the lead role in forthcoming thriller Inheritance.

In fairness to the Hot Fuzz star, he reacted with a vague shrug to the internet’s collective shock, noting that the snapshots of his new look were not meant to be “an aspirational thing” and emphasizing that the extremely lean look is for a character rather than a fitness goal he had hoped to obtain.
