Simon Pegg Is Looking Incredibly Jacked For His New Movie ‘Inheritance’

In some unlikely news, you can now add Simon Pegg to the list of actors who have undergone wild weight transformations for movies roles. The Shaun of the Dead star is looking insanely lean and ripped for an upcoming role in thriller flick Inheritance.

On Twitter, Pegg’s personal trainer revealed the actor’s new look and explained the transformation took six months.

Nick Lower shared “the brief for his role was lean, VERY lean,” hence the dramatic weight loss.

“It required a specific body shape and look,” Lower tweeted.

Pegg retweeted the photo, adding the new look gave him “occasional mild grumpiness”. 

JOIZES.

While this isn’t as extreme as some other transformations – *cough cough* Christian Bale in The Machinist and American Hustle and also Vice – it is a bit of a change if you still associate Pegg and his physical appearance with his zombie-bashing days. Not to mention, that one time the actor gained a little bit of weight for his role in Run Fatboy Run. 

Anywho, according to Variety, Inheritance is an independent thriller which will “explore what happens when the patriarch of a wealthy and powerful family suddenly passes away, leaving his wife and daughter with a shocking secret inheritance that threatens to unravel and destroy their lives.”

Per IMDb, Lily Collins (Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile) costars alongside Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl) and I Am The Night‘s Connie Nielsen.
