- Elliot Page shared photo and video of himself with seriously ripped abs.

- The actor says he's become 'hooked' on boxing with the help of a coach.

- Page will appear on movie screens as part of next month's *The Odyssey*, directed by Christopher Nolan.

Elliot Page is ripped and has the snapshots to prove it.

"I've been incredibly fortunate to train with @coachnol," he captioned photo and video that showed him with at least a six-pack on social media. "He's a brilliant teacher, not just in the way he breaks down complex movements, but also in his strategic understanding of boxing and his thoughtful approach to the psychological side of the sport."

Page explained continued, "Training with Nolan has become an essential part of my life. If you’re in NYC and looking, I can't recommend him highly enough. Just be warned, you may end up getting as hooked as I am."

Page has made a regular thing of jumping in the ring to spar.

Fans cheered on the development, writing comments like "Holy f---ing abdominals elliot," "Elliot is so incredibly shredded oml," "Dude, you’re ripped af. What the fuhhhh?! Incredible," and "You could do laundry on them abs."

"THATS MY ACHILLES," one supporter commented, a reference to Page's casting in Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film *The Odyssey*, which arrives in theaters July 17.

While it had been suggested that Page would portray Achilles, his actual role remains unclear.

But that hasn't stopped haters from criticizing the film's cast. These critics lamented not only Page's participation, but the choice of Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy.

Last month, businessman Elon Musk, who had long protested the Oscar winner's casting, claimed that Nolan, who has two Oscars for his film *Oppenheimer*, put Nyong'o in his movie because he "wants the awards."

The ally of President Donald Trump also specifically called hiring Page for the film "one of the dumbest and twisted things I've ever heard."

For her part, Nyong'o said simply in an interview with *Elle* last month, "This is a mythological story."

Page has said that he appreciated being reunited with Nolan, who directed the actor in 2010 psychological thriller *Inception*.

"I was just completely jazzed and excited," Page said in October during an *X-Men* panel at New York Comic Con. "I basically went and met with Chris and talked about the part, then sat in a room and read the script. It was such a joy to come back."

The cast also includes Matt Damon, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Jon Bernthal, Robert Pattinson, Benny Safdie, and Travis Scott.

*The Odyssey* arrives in theaters July 17.
