A columnist’s recent take on Sacha Baron Cohen’s body transformation has backfired spectacularly after she framed the actor’s fitness journey as the result of a midlife crisis and a desperate attempt at attracting younger women.
What she glossed over, however, was that Cohen had been training for a new role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
After The Telegraph’s columnist Judith Woods labeled the 53-year-old’s body as “repellent to most women,” the internet responded in kind, mocking her article across social media and calling out what they saw as an unprovoked and deeply sexist attack.
