Renowned comedian and actor Sacha Baron Cohen has once again set tongues wagging after being spotted with an Ozempic pen. The sighting has fuelled speculation about whether the satirical genius is preparing for a new role—possibly revisiting his infamous character, Mephisto.
What’s the Buzz About?
Witnesses reported seeing Baron Cohen with the diabetes-turned-weight-loss drug during a casual outing. While Ozempic has become a Hollywood staple for its slimming effects, fans are wondering if this is merely personal use or part of an elaborate character transformation.
Mephisto Comeback on the Cards?
Given Baron Cohen’s history of immersive method acting—think Borat or Ali G—many suspect he could be gearing up for a revival of Mephisto, a devilish persona he once portrayed. The timing is curious, especially with whispers of new projects in the works.
Why Ozempic?
The drug, originally designed for type 2 diabetes, has gained notoriety in celebrity circles for its weight-loss side effects. If Baron Cohen is indeed using it for a role, it wouldn’t be the first time he’s gone to extreme lengths for authenticity.
Fan Reactions
Social media erupted with theories, from a potential Borat sequel to an entirely new satirical venture. Some even joked that Mephisto might need a "healthier" look this time around.
Whether this is a personal choice or professional prep, one thing’s certain: Sacha Baron Cohen knows how to keep us guessing.
