Ralph Fiennes’ new body transformation stuns fans

On April 12, 2025, a verified fan account of Ralph Fiennes shared pictures of the Lord Voldemort actor’s toned physique, captioning the post with a bicep emoji.

The account again shared some more pictures two days later, crediting Fiennes’ personal trainer, Dan Avasilcai, in the captions.

After the above pictures hit social media, fans had all sorts of reactions to the actor’s ripped look.

One fan expressed disbelief at the pictures, wondering about their authenticity and asking Grok AI if they were real.

“Voldemort should have just challenged Harry to an arm wrestling match,” a fan jokingly commented.

Another fan asked if the Conclave star was “going to out Odysseus Damon?,” a reference to Matt Damon playing Odysseus in Christopher Nolan‘s upcoming action epic, The Odyssey.

To achieve the physique of the classical Greek hero, Fiennes underwent a strict training regimen and ate a particular diet, which was rich in protein, complex carbohydrates, and veggies, all to lose the fat in his body. In an interview with The Guardian, The Menu actor revealed that The Return’s director, Uberto Pasolini, did not want him to have a “sort of bulked-up gym body.” Fiennes then recalled telling his trainer Avasilcai that his take on Odysseus “should look like a bit of old rope.”

In the same interview, Pasolini revealed his initial suspicions about Fiennes’ training regimen, where he thought a lot of protein was going into the actor’s body, which made him believe that the final result would be that of an “exercised body” instead of a “consumed” and “lived body.”
