Kumail Nanjiani's father is extremely proud of his son-- perhaps too proud.
While visiting home, Nanjiani posted a picture of a pair of a custom pair of socks his dad owns that display his son's shirtless body. Over the image appear the words, "I am his Dad." “Visiting the parents. My dad has these socks,” Nanjiani wrote in the tweet, as noted by Entertainment Weekly.
Nanjiani is fit for a reason. Landing a role in Marvel's The Eternals, the comedic actor wanted to get into superhero shape and did so successfully. “I never thought I’d be one of those people who would post a thirsty shirtless, but I’ve worked way too hard for way too long so here we are. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain," Nanjiani wrote when originally posting the picture from the socks.
He added, “I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvel’s The Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked. I would not have been able to do this if I didn’t have a full year with the best trainers and nutritionists paid for by the biggest studio in the world.”
The Eternals is set to premiere in November 2020.
Frank Ocean Releases New "Blonded" Merch
Forever Blonded.
Frank Ocean is coming for our wallets once again. Everything the man does is drenched in so much anticipation and mystery that it’s hard to not jump at the opportunity to participate in whatever it is he is offering. Oh, Frank’s selling an adhesive metal phone ring with a rotating ring stand and emblazoned Blonded logo? Take my money! That’s just one of the items included in the elusive artist’s latest merchandise drop.
Blonded is clearly not just associated with Frank’s 2016 album, but has become his whole brand, since he continues to create within this theme. On Friday, Frank shared a variety of products through his website, blonded.co. Aside from the phone ring, you could purchase an iPhone case (if you have one of the latest models), silk boxer shorts, cozy socks, sweatpants and hoodies. All the items feature the Blonded logo printed on them, which results in them being prestigious and pricey. You never know when Frank will make his next move, but you do know how rabid his fanbase is, so jump on these products fast before they sell out!
Frank Ocean has been confirmed as the Sunday headliner of Coachella this year. Perhaps he will a bring custom merch booth to the desert as he did when touring Blonde in 2017.
