Says he's uncomfortable talking about his body now

"I've found out over the last year and a half, since I did that picture, that I am very uncomfortable talking about my body," he told GQ for the November issue, "and it's become less and less and less comfortable."

I wonder if it's because such talk is more likely than with other actors to turn to obvious steroid use. Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth also abuse androgens, but they've always been viewed as studs whereas Nanjiani is a comic relief turned beefcake, so people are interested in how he made the transformation (chicken, brown rice, and broccoli).

He also reportedly says about the motive for releasing the picture that went viral:
"I wanted different types of opportunities. I wanted the industry to see me differently."

Of course. More than the others, I had always figured Nanjiani would eventually come clean about going on gear, if only because it's good material for stand-up.
