Simon Pegg admits his wife CRIED on seeing his recent jaw-dropping weight loss because she disliked his 'skin and bone' appearance
He shocked fans earlier this year, when he unveiled a shirtless shot of himself showing off his rippling abs and slender frame after a jaw-dropping weight loss.
But Simon Pegg, 49, has now admitted that his dramatically slimmed-down frame, which he achieved in preparation for a film role, made his wife Maureen McCann cry.
Speaking at MCM Comic Con in London on Sunday, he told MailOnline: 'I did have to get very, very skinny for a job I did this year and my wife was in tears about that, because I kind of got down to just skin and bone, so she wasn’t happy about that.'
Tears: Simon Pegg has admitted that his dramatically slimmed-down frame earlier this year, which he achieved in preparation for a film role, left his wife Maureen McCann 'in tears'
Explaining that he's not one for embracing the life of a method actor like a number of his contemporaries, he added of his wife of 14 years: 'She always grounds me. She stops me from being a head-in-the-clouds actor p**ck.
'As soon as I get home I’m picking up the dog s**t in the courtyard, though I do have a courtyard which is p**ckish, to say the least.'
In March, the British actor's personal trainer Nick Lower uploaded a shirtless snap of the star on social media, which showcased his six pack and slender arms.
Not impressed: While there a strong reaction from fans to his look, Simon has revealed that his wife Maureen McCann was far from impressed. Pictured together in July 2018
Divisive: Some fans of the star appeared impressed by his dramatic transformation, while many of them expressed their concern that he had slimmed down too much
As well as giving a breakdown of Simon's fitness statistics, Nick wrote: '#SimonPegg 6 month body transformation for #InheritanceMovie The brief for this role was lean, VERY lean. It required a specific body shape & look.'
Fans were divided about the actor's dramatic transformation, with some stating that they were impressed with his new look, while many others expressed concerns that he had slimmed down too much.
Over the summer, Shaun Of The Dead star Simon spoke with GQ Hype about the huge reaction to his body transformation, branding it 'weird' and claiming that his wife thought he 'looked ill'.
Telling all: Speaking at MCM Comic Con in London on Sunday, he told MailOnline, 'I did have to get very, very skinny for a job I did this year and my wife was in tears about that
While he dropped 19lbs for a movie role in which he had to be 'very lean', the actor admitted that his look was never meant to be 'aspirational'.
He said: 'The response from that picture was so weird... And the thing is, it wasn’t meant to be an aspirational thing. It was a snapshot that my trainer took and I really didn’t expect the furore that followed.
'All I can think of is that people still think of me as that schlubby guy from Shaun Of The Dead.'
Slender: During his appearance at the event, the Gloucestershire native still appeared slender
Elsewhere in his interview at MCM Comic Con on Sunday, Simon spoke about the unconventional way in which filmmaker JJ Abrams offers him film roles.
He said: 'I’ve been offered roles by JJ via email. He goes straight to you, he doesn’t do the whole agent thing. So I literally have an email somewhere which says, “Do you want to play Scotty?”
'I got off the back of a flight from New York and I turned my phone on and it came through, and I was so disgusted because I thought, “How can you say that without some kind of dinner, wine, or some sort of sexual favour first?"
'I can’t just say, yeah or sure. It took me three days to say yes and he was like, “Well, do you want it or not?” And I said, “I don’t know! You’re asking me to play Scotty.” But eventually I said yes.'
Huge reaction: Simon admitted that he found the huge reaction to his transformation 'weird'
Transformation: While some thought he looked ill, others commended him for his efforts as they only ever knew him as the 'schlubby guy' from 2004 film Shaun Of The Dead (Pictured)
