Actor J.K. Simmons, known for his roles in Justice League and Spider-Man: No Way Home, recently shared the story behind the viral images of him working out that caused a stir on the internet. The images, which surfaced in 2017 around the release of Justice League, depicted Simmons looking muscular and vascular while lifting weights, sparking curiosity about his fitness regimen.
In a recent interview with Comicbook.com, Simmons explained that his transformation was a result of starring in a movie where he portrayed an emaciated character, prompting him to lose 35 pounds in a healthy manner. Following this role, Simmons hit the gym with a trainer, focused on protein intake, and eventually posted the workout images on Instagram, unaware of the platform's reach at the time.
