If you endure a gruelling session of muay thai that leaves you with seven pain patches on your back, you can’t really be faulted for wanting to show off your grit in a cheeky selfie. That’s probably what actor-comedian Jeremy Chan thought as he shared a shirtless selfie on Instagram last Friday (Jan 6) with the caption: “No pain no gain.”
He also cheekily hashtagged the post with “fat boy” and “I lost weight”.
Instead of admiration for his dedication or commiserations about the pain, Jeremy received thirst from actor Herman Keh.
“Can pull the pants down also?” the 26-year-old wrote.
Jeremy is training as part of an upcoming drama role.
In a recent interview with Shin Min Daily News, he said about his preparations: “I haven’t had any oil, salt, sauce or starch for more than a month. I try my best to train my body to the best.”
Jeremy may be learning muay thai for real but he has no intention to actually compete in it.
“There will already be many opportunities to fight in the drama, so I don’t need it in real life,” he said.
Apart from muay thai training, Jeremy has also been doing group gym sessions with Jesseca and some of his celebrity buddies.
His group of gym rats include Kayly Loh, Cynthia Koh, Nick Teo, Hong Ling, Jasmine Sim and Jasmine Chang Min.
