Kumail Nanjiani had electric shocks in his biceps to build muscle as part of brutal gym regime for The Eternals

metro.co.uk:

Kumail Nanjiani put himself through the most brutal gym routine to get himself superhero ready for his upcoming role in new Marvel movie The Eternals.

And we’re talking so brutal that Kumail was left nearly vomiting after his workouts and had even had electric shocks in his biceps to help him build muscle.

Speaking to Men’s Health, Kumail said: ‘I realised, if this is what working out is, I’ve never really worked out a moment in my life.’ He stars in The Eternals, alongside the likes of Kit Harington, Richard Madden, and Angelina Jolie, and plays the role of Kingo – a cosmic-powered eternal who lives on earth as a Bollywood star to blend in.
