Remember back in 2019 when Kumail Nanjiani shared that super ripped photo of himself on Instagram? Well it seems like a lot of people on Twitter don't. The Silicon Valley star had been getting swole for Marvel's Eternals, and his dramatic transformation was talked about for what felt like years. It shouldn't be news that stars get in shape for Marvel movies, but after Nanjiani shared a photo from his holiday in quarantine, people on Twitter decided it was time to do what they do best: debate his physical appearance.
The photo in question features Nanjiani in front of a plate of food, jaw looking exceptionally cut - to the point where Twitter users began accusing the actor of using steroids. Most of the jokes were absurd and in good fun, but the mockery struck other users as a tad racist. We don't see people scrutinizing Chris Pratt's transformation from flabby Andy from Parks and Recreation to jacked Starlord, do we? While we do think the attacks might be a little unfair, we're really just here for the jokes. If anything, we're jealous of Nanjiani's diesel bod. And more than that? We're psyched for Eternals.

9. A lot of people think the backlash is unfair.
Chris Pratt can bulk up for a marvel movie and everyone is cool with is.

Kumail Nanjiani does it and people call him “grotesque” and assume he’s using steroids.
I hate it here. pic.twitter.com/9LSfvreUtc

But in the same breath they fawn over all the Chrises for setting the standard of male bodies and praise them for looking buff?

Funny how Kumail Nanjiani gets jacked and fit for a lead role as an immortal in a comic book movie that a normal man of his ethnicity wouldn’t get and gets made into memes and made fun of but white men like Bale and Chris Patt play with their weight for roles and get praised.

Henry Cavill was able to get HUGE for man of steel without steroids. He has said this publicly.

So it’s impossible that Kumail Nanjiani had the same result from hard work and exercise? And Cavill looks slightly larger than Nanjiani at 1 point?
Sounds like racism is afoot. pic.twitter.com/NagaC7nPjN

The Kumail Nanjiani thing makes me very sad. Our culture has created a system where people attempt to conform to impossible beauty standards to a point where it starts to render them unrecognizable, and then we mock and shame them. Men are not exempt from this.

15. And then there are the "takes" that aren't deep at all.
whenever a celebrity like kumail nanjiani gets really jacked for an action movie and says “I did this because I was paid to do it, it’s unrealistic for people to look like this” its like, ok thanks for bragging dude. tell me how I can get paid to do it then.

I keep a Kumail Nanjiani in the attic. With every vice I indulge or misdeed I commit, he grows ever more grotesque, all the while my remaining unchanged.
