Kumail Nanjiani got everybody shook when he showed f his gains for the internet, telling everybody that he never expected to look so good ever in his life. “I never thought I’d be one those people who would post a thirsty shirtless, but I’ve worked way too hard for way too long so here we are,” wrote the actor on social media. “I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvel’s Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked.
