Is Kumail Nanjiani On Steroids?

Or works out intensely. He's hot.

Hawtness!

Yes.

You can tell by his lats. Yes he is.

Geez. Good for his wife.

He looks much better with the mask on.

Doesn't look like steroids at all, just devoted work out routines.

R4 how can you tell by that photo? I can’t see his lats.

OP must be typing from 1984, a time when dudes in their 40s weren’t lifting weights every day and downing protein shakes to be ripped and swole on social media

Nobody looks like that - at that age from “aggressively” hitting the gym, diets, and supplements.

I'd need to see him nude and bent over before I could say, OP.

His large trapezius is sign he uses.

OP, why do you feel the need to ask such a stupid question?

And he’s looked like shit all his life, R10. He hits his 40’s and all of a sudden he transforms into Superman?

You know he's joined one of those superhero franchises, right?

Doesn't look like steroids at all, actually. Money can buy personal trainers and all the free time in the world.

[quote]how can you tell by that photo? I can’t see his lats.

His lateral deltoid? Huh.

[QUOTE] You know he's joined one of those superhero franchises, right?

Yes, and they all used steroids to get their physiques, R15.

Butter f.

--DLer sitting on sofa eating Doritos-- Eh, gotta be steroids. I don't have that kind of body!?

[quote]--DLer sitting on sofa eating Doritos-- Eh, gotta be steroids. I don't have that kind of body!?

Mmm. No.

[quote]Doesn't look like steroids at all, actually.

Yes, it does. Stop lying. Bitch, everyone can tell.

Okay, Pringles R21

Same thing

"I'm so jealous, must be steroids. I went to the gym last year and I don't have muscles like that. Not fair."

It's his job to look like that and he's getting paid millions for it.

Which means he has

A trainer

A chef

A nutritionist

Unlimited time to work out

It never ceases to amaze me that you all never figure out why actors manage look like that even when they're over 40

R23 - the people calling out his steroid use are pointing out areas of his body that are most affected by high testosterone. The ones who deny his drug use, don’t know where your “lats” are.

It's his traps that are so big in that photo that make me also think he's on the juice.

But he's clearly putting a lot of work into it at the gym and in terms of his diet--steroids alone are not going to get you results like that.

R26 I know where lats are, dear. I also recognize hard-core workout bodies versus steroid use. I'm sorry you're fat and envious of this person.

I thought filming for Eternals was over? But maybe he just likes being so sexy and wants to keep looking this way--he certainly never did before he started preparing for this film.

It’s perfectly “acceptable” today to use drugs to gain muscle, it’s what they all do. It’s everywhere now. Is it out of the closet? No. Or maybe it is. Maybe more and more people are honest about it now.

😉

Who wouldn't want to stay in awesome shape if they had the time, money and opportunity, R29?

DiCaprio doesn't count.

[QUOTE] I thought filming for Eternals was over? But maybe he just likes being so sexy and wants to keep looking this way--he certainly never did before he started preparing for this film.

He makes sure you don’t see him when he’s off the juice and deflates like a balloon.

R17 lats are latissimus dorsi. Lateral deltoid’s are called delts.

[quote] Who wouldn't want to stay in awesome shape if they had the time, money and opportunity, [R29]?

It's usually a disastrous move for comedians and comic actors. They become very hard to cast because they no loner seem relatable.

cf. Joe Piscopo

if he's in britain, i think it is legal. the vascularity gives it away too.

Thats a lot of veins popping out

According to this article somebody gives him electric shocks while he’s working out. Is this common? Has anyone tried these methods?

I’d let him have a fuck.

Whatever he’s on or he’s doing is likely administered by the best in health, fitness and nutritions and he has all the time to focus on just this. Impressive

Yes, very.

Nobody has shoulders and traps like that without juicing.

He was cast in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series for Disney +. They haven’t disclosed his role, but they either just started shooting or are doing so in the next few weeks.

R4 what is a lat?

Not just steroids, it's also human growth hormone.

Probably. I bet he'll end up leaving his wife at some point.

r26 right...anyone who knows his way around a gym knows he's using steroids or HGH.

Who the hell refers to shoulder muscles as "lats"?

The Big Sick 2: ‘Roid Rage

HUGE PENIS!

Given some of the stuff other people are injecting/doing to their bodies, I think it's so funny social media is always in a tizzy about HGH use.

He and Rob McElhenney from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia did a Dax Shepherd podcast last year on their bodies. They’re all obsessed and totally committed to working out, nutrition, etc. and think about their bodies non-stop. It’s a very homo erotic episode.

Oh Kumail - I liked you up until now.

Say hello to your future.

Has he dumped his wife yet?

R42 you seem oddly obsessed

HGH is legal. He is probably under doctors supervision. He also is insanely rigid in his diet. When he did that jimmy kimmel episode he claims to have not eaten a dessert in like a year or something

This is clearly the result of the adrenochroming of children.

He looks like a covid action figure

He and McElhenney should just fuck each other so they can worship one another's bodies. That's what they really want.

[QUOTE] Who the hell refers to shoulder muscles as "lats"?

I actually think it’s quite common for people to be confused by lats, R48. I’m not one of them, but I hear it all the time.

That nose

Hot body

King

His body looks amazing, I am aiming for that sort of build.

Bit confused by people specifically calling out his traps - the top he's wearing is covering the majority of them, I wouldn't have necessarily said they were the tell-tale sign of roids.

he's become a male butterface

On that Dax Shepard podcast they all but admit to do doing steroids.

Say it ain’t so, R66. The person who first mentioned that earlier made it seem like they attributed their bodies to chicken and broccoli and Essentia water.

The podcast was interesting, even to someone like me who hates weights and most forms of exercise (but keeps in shape anyway, thanks). Particularly the discussion of self-image and male body types.

Must confess that by the end, I found McElhenney far more interesting and multi-dimensional, and regrettably, the opposite with Nanjiani. I've enjoyed him before, but now he's just a boring guy droning on about how many sets, reps, glycogen this, ripped and shredded that.....

YAWN.

At least Kumail is proof that a halfway decent person can build off a supporting role in a series and not just the addict pervs. WHET Gilfoyle tho? I always found him quite hot.

[QUOTE] The podcast was interesting, even to someone like me who hates weights and most forms of exercise (but keeps in shape anyway, thanks).

Yeah and how do you do that, R68?

I walk, speedwalk, and occasionally run outdoors, R68. I'm also fastidious about what I eat, but I find discussions of diet and exercise really tedious most of the time. (It's a massive turnoff when I meet someone new and they want to share their gym routine.) Like I said, the rest of the convo about male bodies and self-image was interesting to me.

I like muscles fine but I haven't lifted a weight in years.

[Quote] He and McElhenney should just fuck each other so they can worship one another's bodies. That's what they really want.

DREAM PORN! DELISH!

I agree with r65 he is kind of a bitter face. I think a nose job would actually do him wonders. He should consider it, seriously. He could be fine as fuck.

Ew, he's so vascular.

Kumail says FUCK 500 times in the one podcast.

He and Carrot Top would make a nice couple.

R76 now THOSE are some lateral delts! They almost look photoshopped!

Those are clearly muscle implants. His shoulders are fake.

R76 just leaving this here.

Wtf, he looks like he’s in his 50’s.

I want him inside me.

He would look better if he got a rhinoplasty.

He needs to do nude scenes with his new bod.

I loved her in Sister Act!

When have you ever seen an Indian jacked like a pro wrestler? He’s clearly juicing. His muscles can’t hide his FUG ass face.

40+. He's on steroids. Testosterone drops off in 40s. No one that age gets that big without a little juice.

He is juicing. Clearly he is obsessed.

He is not fug. He is gorgeous.

So fuckable.

Has he shaved his unibrow?

Did anyone pick in the celebrity death thread?

Steroids

Holy crap that guy is hot, R91!! Who is he?

There was a whole Vice article on this:

1. No, you can't tell from looking at someone's photos whether or not they're using steroids. Even experts can't tell.

2. Most of the "tells" you'd have to observe in person and not from a photo.

3. Some of the tells are observational: The amount of time the person took to get that way and the amount of time it takes for them to lose their muscles after they stop working out. Someone natural won't lose their musculature if they cut down their workout routine to 50 percent of what they were doing before as long as they had been doing it 6-8 weeks prior. If you were using, it evaporates.

Based upon all of this: Kumail Nanjiana would have been cycled off of the drugs at least once already and so far he has stayed the same size. So he probably isn't on steroids. Damn near his whole life is dedicated to looking like this now. For most people, they don't have the time, the money or the desire after 40.

R91, just follow his TikTok to learn who he is

R93 he all but admitted to it on Dax Shepard’s podcast.

R95, Dax Shepard himself uses "heavy testosterone injections" and has admitted to it.

I feel like, if Kumail had said he was using steroids or something similar it would have made news or at the least Twitter would have never shut up about it.

He could be running gear, but no one can say definitively, unless they're in his immediate orbit. Everything else is mere speculation. He looks good regardless.

He’s at least taking HGH. Just like Hugh Jackman. Sorry, but as you get older, it becomes increasingly hard to put on serious muscle mass.

[quote]Sorry, but as you get older, it becomes increasingly hard to put on serious muscle mass.

Hugh Jackman is 10 years older than he is. (Kumail is 43, Hue turns 53 soon.)

[quote] Sorry, but as you get older, it becomes increasingly hard to put on serious muscle mass.

But not impossible. If it were impossible then people would have come out and said that.

You people really believe in applying sweeping, broad generalizations to individuals without decisive proof. It’s not an intelligent trait

Hi, Kumail!
