Now That He's Exercising, Kumail Nanjiani Has Never Felt Worse About Himself

Kumail Nanjiani chatted with Ellen about his new movie "Stuber," and how his co-star and former pro wrestler Dave Bautista got him to start working out. But the comedian admitted that now that he's in better shape and works out regularly, he's never felt more miserable in his life.

Anyone else here after his body transformation?

[@altarec123]

He already started there, but he was bulking, you can see that he is already pretty big (arm and chest) and then he cut down and the beast revealed itself.

[@stokemoran]

@@altarec123 Yeah, you can really see it when they flash stills from the Stuber movie in the background. Just look at his face there to where he is speaking to Ellen.

You CAN workout and not be in pain, and still progress. That's an actual thing. I like never get doms. But my max weight I lift progresses, as does my rep. ability etc, and set increase. Depending on what I'm doing / going for. How you eat impacts this a lot as well. As does other recovery stuff or preventative things :)

[@Amor_fati.Memento_Mori]

He is totally right though. By grooming us to think that showing Anger is what gets us liked, we displayed our Anger and WITHHELD our other emotions and this made us further frustrated and led us to display our frustration in the only emotion that was expected of us to do so:- Anger ! Since all our Actions were made on the basis of a single emotion - Anger ! Everything we did were Violent. And When Women too only wanted the most Manly man which at the time meant - Angry men. Anger became a necessity in men.

[@themayon89]

calming down after drinking water is actually a real thing. the prophet (Mohammed) also talked about it
