Recently, Fiennes, most popular for his role as <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/news-briefs\/ralph-fiennes-possessive-over-voldemort-4396679\/\"><strong>Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter film series<\/strong><\/a>, took to social media to offer glimpses of his current, chiselled physique that oozes a Greek god aura. The photos, as expected, have been widely shared, with many praising his look and dedication to maintaining his body even now.<\/p>\n<p>The photos, clicked by the actor\u2019s personal trainer Dan Avasilcai, feature him flexing his upper body muscles and tattoos. He can also be seen sporting a slightly long beard and a shining smile in the images. Interestingly, the look is from his recent period drama The Return, helmed by Uberto Pasolini. An adaptation of Homer\u2019s Greek epic Odyssey, the movie features Fiennes as Odysseus, the legendary king of Ithaca.<\/p>\n<p><ev-engagement group-name=\"contentLogin\"\/><ev-engagement group-name=\"myNotification\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ev-meter-content ie-premium-content-block\">\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Miss | <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/chhaava-vicky-kaushal-irresponsible-film-incites-violence-9945235\/\" class=\"\">Chhaava: Vicky Kaushal\u2019s worrisome streak hits an all-time low; who\u2019ll take responsibility for inciting violence?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"osv-ad-class\" style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;height: 375px;margin-bottom: 15px;\">\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While one Twitterati called him \u201cthe perfect man\u201d, another user wrote in the comment section on X (formerly Twitter), \u201cVoldemort should have just challenged Harry to an arm wrestling match.\u201d A third netizen wrote in jest, \u201cCongratulations\u2026 Wish he\u2019d train me maybe he\u2019d improve my self esteem and confidence (sic).\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"fr\">\ud83d\udcf8 Dan_Avasilcai (Ralph Fiennes\u2019 personal trainer)<br \/>.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RalphFiennes?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow, noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#RalphFiennes<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheReturn?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow, noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#TheReturn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ADmbHiIY6A\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow, noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/ADmbHiIY6A<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ralph Fiennes (@mrralphfiennes) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mrralphfiennes\/status\/1911525806527951169?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow, noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Recipient of several prestigious accolades and three Academy Award nominations, Fiennes rose to fame with his performances in movies such as Schindler\u2019s List (1993), The English Patient (1996), Maid in Manhattan (2002), The Reader (2008), The Hurt Locker (2009), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), Hail, Caesar!
