Kumail Nanjiani says The Eternals is the most sc-fi of all Marvel movies, speaks about his viral shirtless photos

 

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, The Big Sick star said, "It’s really, really an epic. And it’s really such a science-fiction story. It’s a superhero story, but in some ways, it’s the most sci-fi of all the Marvel movies and it’s the most epic of all the Marvel movies. And the story spans thousands of years. So it’s really not like any of the other Marvel movies."

 

"Making this massive movie in many important ways still feels like you’re making an independent movie, in the sense that it really feels like a family and it feels like it’s really about characters and relationships and very small moments. So while you have certain scenes where you’re hanging up on a wire fighting bad guys and you have all these superpowers, the rest of it does feel like you’re making something really small," he further said.

 

On Thursday, he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live for Little America promotions and spoke about his shirtless photos of his physical transformation that set the internet on fire. "The biggest problem is once you get that, you don't stop exercising," Nanjiani explained. Kimmel pointed out how ripped the actor was now, to which he responded, "I wish it was like a video game where you hit save."

 

 

 

He said that he took the photos before Christmas to save it as a proof that he did look that way. "Who knows what I'm going to look like after Christmas? As soon as I saw the picture, I was like the world must see this," he quipped. "It was a weird couple of days... It really got out of control," he said.

 

"My brother said, 'Dad already sent your naked pics to both family's Whatsapp groups.' And then it goes in newspapers in Pakistan. So, I had all my aunts texting me pictures of myself, like 'so proud of you.' It's weird to have your aunts sending you naked pictures of yourself. I think I messed up my veins by working out. Those aren't going anywhere. Where are those going? Shouldn't they be going to the heart?" Nanjiani joked.

 

Kumail also joked about how everyone was putting side by side images of him to showcase his shocking transformation. "Was I like leaving a trail of slime behind me? I was normal looking," Nanjiani said.

 

But, he was surprised to receive attention from one superstar. "Dwayne the Rock Johnson said, 'dense muscle is hard to achieve, my brother.' He thinks my muscle is dense. How he could see that? If the Rock says it, who knows better?"

 

"You work out every day and you sort of learn to enjoy it. The diet is the hardest thing. I haven't had pizza or a donut in over a year. I've had no refined sugar in a year, almost no carbs at all. You know what my snack has been? I get a bag of sugar snap peas and I eat them. That's what I've been doing at night."

 

Kimmel surprised Kumail with a box of pizza. The actor said,"I'm literally going to cry right now. I'm not joking. I'm shaking. Pizza's really good."

 

The Eternals will be the next superhero team that will release in November 2020. The film stars Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Richard Madden, Kit Harington, and Brian Tyree Henry.
