“Harry Potter is F**KED” — Netizens in stitches over Ralph Fiennes’ wild transformation photo

Ralph Fiennes hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down. The 62-year-old actor has appeared in some of the most memorable films and massive franchises over the years, including Harry Potter, James Bond, Schindler’s List, and Conclave - for which he recently earned an Academy Award nomination. Now, following the release of his latest film, The Return, where he portrayed the Greek hero Odysseus, Fiennes just gave fans an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into what went into preparing for the role, and it’s certainly surprised the internet.

Ralph Fiennes recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to share an image of his physical transformation for his new film The Return, in which he plays the Greek hero Odysseus. The photo showed the actor in a gym, looking absolutely jacked and muscular - a stark contrast to how he’s appeared throughout his nearly 40-year-long career. The picture has left fans thoroughly impressed, with many showering praise on his newly sculpted physique.

Hilarious Fan Reactions

Fans wasted no time jumping into Fiennes' comments section to share their hilarious reactions and express their thirst over his incredible physical transformation at 62.

"Harry Potter is F**KED," a fan joked.

Seeing the actor who played Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies all jacked now, Harry Potter might be in real trouble, as Ralph Fiennes could probably beat him up without even using a wand, as this fan jokes. Might as well start calling him Swoledemort!

"You prepping for a boxing match with @jakepaul ?" wondered another.

Woah, could it be that after fighting and beating 58-year-old Mike Tyson in a boxing match, Jake Paul’s next opponent might be the newly jacked 62-year-old Ralph Fiennes? Now that would be a plot twist no one saw coming!

If we ever get a new Dragon Ball live-action film, this fan sure has a solid suggestion for who could play Master Roshi - the 300-year-old martial arts master with a surprisingly shredded physique!

"Think of all the time you could have spent learning an instrument," a fan wrote.

This fan seems to think Ralph Fiennes could’ve spent his time more wisely learning an instrument instead of hitting the gym. After all, it does come with less pain and no muscle cramps!

"I want you to refilm all your Bond scenes looking just like this," commented another.

Fiennes should definitely play M in James Bond, looking like this - Bond would have no choice but to follow orders, purely out of fear of getting knocked out!

Ralph Fiennes' physical transformation at 62 has certainly left fans impressed and inspired to hit the gym. The Return is now playing in theatres across the UK and Ireland.
