61-year-old actor is getting frighteningly ripped for the ‘Justice League’ movie

Holy bulging veins Batman!

JK Simmons is 61-years-old – and approximately 61 times ripped as you.

The actor, known for playing J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man film series and his Oscar winning performance in Whiplash – has taken on the role of Batman’s mate Commissioner Gordon for the upcoming Justice League movie.

If you were a fan of Chris Nolan’s Batman films you’re probably picturing Gary Oldman’s Commissioner Gordon – a brilliant but very-much not ripped policeman.

Simmons is taking the character in a whole other direction – adding muscles on top of muscles to the extent that he could probably compete with the superheroes themselves in hand-to-hand combat. Which is probably exactly the point.

Simmons had already been in pretty good shape for his role in Whiplash – but his progress under the training of Aaron Williamson is jaw-dropping.

We can only assume that Commissioner Gordon’s about to kick some ass.
