Kumail Nanjiani is once again getting the internet’s attention, and this time it is thanks to a very muscular cameo in a new dark action-comedy.
The actor, who is nearing 50, appears in Over Your Dead Body, where he shows off the results of the fitness routine he first became famous for during his major body transformation for Marvel’s Eternals in 2019.
Nanjiani stars in the film alongside Jason Segel, appearing as “Hollywood Dan”, a heightened and extremely buff movie version of Segel’s character. The role may be brief, but it has clearly made an impact.
A clip of Nanjiani’s appearance has gone viral on social media, reportedly racking up more than eight million views as fans praise his chiselled abs, muscular arms and overall transformation.

The attention is hardly surprising. Nanjiani’s fitness journey became a major pop culture talking point when he unveiled his superhero physique ahead of Eternals, and he appears to have kept up the work in the years since.
His latest screen moment proves that the comedian and actor is still very much committed to the gym life, and fans are absolutely noticing.
Whether it is a full role or a cheeky cameo, Nanjiani knows how to steal a scene. In Over Your Dead Body, he is doing it with muscles, confidence and a six-pack that has the internet collectively pausing the clip.
