40-ish Nanjiani riffs on his body image

Kumail Nanjiani is bulking up.

The funnyman has been getting into the shape with the help of a trainer — so much so that a story appears in the latest issue of Men’s Health magazine about Nanjiani and his gym routine.

“When I was a kid, I assumed at some point in my life I would be in perfect (shape), I would be the perfect male form, right?” he said on this week’s episode of “The Big Ticket,” Variety and iHeart’s movie podcast. “I just assumed it would happen. I would have crazy abs.”

He continued, “It just never happened, and I’m 41 now. I was like, ‘If it doesn’t happen this year, it’s just never going to happen.’ It’s been really, really intense.”

But could he also be getting into shape to play a superhero? Nanjiani is rumored to be starring in the upcoming Marvel film “The Eternals” opposite Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden.

“I cannot comment on that,” he said, adding, “It would be so great to be part of a superhero film. I would love it so much.”

What he can talk about is his new buddy comedy “Stuber” with “Guardians of the Galaxy” actor Dave Bautista.

Nanjiani admits he was worried how Fox’s R-rated comedy would be supported after Disney acquired the Murdoch film empire.

“Honestly, we were nervous about the merger, but it’s been great,” he said. “They’ve been very, very supportive.”

“Stuber” is now one of the rare Disney movies to include full-frontal nudity. At one point, Nanjiani is FaceTiming with his love interest (“Glow’s” Betty Gilpin) in a male strip club when she notices a very well-endowed man walking behind him.

“I never felt worse about myself,” he cracked.
