Despite the controversy surrounding his personal life and the accusations made by Rebel Wilson on the set of "The Brothers Grimsby," Cohen has remained professional and focused on his work. His representative has denied Wilson's accusations as "demonstrably false." [5]
Cohen's fitness transformation is just one aspect of his ongoing career, and fans are eagerly anticipating his role in "Ironheart." With his commitment to fitness and his knack for comedy, Cohen is sure to bring an unforgettable performance to the Marvel universe. [1]
