The Spider-Man Actor Who Plays Ned Leeds Got Totally Ripped

Behind all of the glamour that comes with being a part of a big-budget superhero blockbuster, there's quite a bit of hard work that goes into pulling off the persona. In most cases, aside from the tedious acting work and lengthy research into DC and Marvel's biggest names, the real intensity of the job comes from the countless hours spent in the gym. While not every actor adheres to such an intense regimen, the likes of Chris Hemsworth and Kumail Nanjiani stuck to a strict routine to become their super-powered alter-egos, resulting in impressive body transformations.

More often than not, this kind of extensive bodily training is reserved for the big-name players like Captain American or Ant-Man to make sure they're as close to their over-the-top comic book counterparts as possible. The secondary characters, especially those who don't get a lot of on-screen physical action, aren't generally required to take part in this admittedly unsustainable practice. However, that doesn't mean that they shouldn't pump some iron if they feel inclined to shed some pounds, improve their endurance, or generally feel better about themselves.

Such is seemingly the case with Jacob Batalon, the actor behind Ned Leeds in the most recent Spider-Man films, who recently revealed his dramatically altered frame.
