THE BODY OF JONATHAN MAJORS has caused a sensation on social networks before.
At the beginning of this yearSome images of the 32-year-old actor were leaked on the set of Creed III, in which he will step into the ring as Michael B. Jordan’s next opponent in the Rocky spin-off sequel (and Jordan’s directorial debut). But those quick snaps were taken behind the scenes by paparazzi, not a carefully planned photo shoot with time for Majors to focus on camera-ready muscle groups in workouts, plan their poses and adjustments for the best angles, and make sure they the lighting was on. point.
the photos of Big leagues’ men’s health cover story, however, were taken with much preparation. We think they’ll do much more than cause a ripple on social media timelines. These images have the power to break the internet.
All this is possible thanks to the intense preparation of Majors. He has some big projects coming up, along with Creed IIIwill also take over Thanos’ gauntlet as the MCU’s next big bad, Kang, starting in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumaniaplaying an aviator in Devotion and, more appropriately given his newly bloated physique, a bodybuilder in Dreams Magazine. During the last year of training, he says that he gained 10 pounds of force for Creed, five more for Kang and six more for Dreams Magazine (that’s 21 pounds, if you don’t keep count), while breaking down to a body fat percentage below 10 percent.
But this isn’t just for flash or a numbers game. Majors is building her body as a means of developing her characters. “When you see these guys, it’s like, yeah, they’re fucking fit. But if you look at it, there’s a story there,” he said. mh during his cover interview.
He is not only exercising to fulfill the responsibilities of his vocation as an actor. Majors can use his physical preparation as another place to express himself. “Training and working out is very important to me. I try to challenge myself to get to a place to express things in the gym the same way I do in my line of work,” he told the magazine. mh team during an intimate video session in a gym.
Majors guided us through a fast and intense bodybuilding session with his trainer Mark ‘Rhino’ Smith—and it’s clear that the steely approach you’ve seen in movies like The more they fall it is more than a simple act.
