Mission Impossible actor and all round funny man, Simon Pegg, has shown off his incredible body transformation for his new movie Inheritance. The Hot Fuzz star replied to a post by personal trainer Nick Lower that showed the actor posing topless and showing off a very toned physique.
The original post read, '#SimonPegg 6 month body transformation for #InheritanceMovie. The brief for this role was lean, VERY lean. It required a specific body shape & look'. To which the Shaun of the Dead actor replied 'Also occasional mild grumpiness...😝💪🏻'.
Not much is known about Simon's new movie Inheritance, other than that he will play a character called Morgan and star alongside Lily Collins and Connie Nielsen.
Simon captured the public's attention as star and co-creator of the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced. He then starred in the 'Cornetto film trilogy' alongside Nick Frost, which included Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and The World's End (2013). He's since become a Hollywood A-lister, starring in the Star Trek and Mission Impossible franchise.
When heat interviewed Simon Pegg back in 2016 to promote Star Trek beyond that he starred in and co-wrote, it was his co-star Idris Elba's appearance that he was commenting on. Well we think Simon is quite the hunk too!
