`Transformational` picture of Cyrus Broacha goes viral, but comedian says he hasn`t gone through one. `I`ve been this way for years,` he says, revealing his love for body-building.

Cyrus Broacha
In 2015, a visual-illusion dress caught people`s fancy. Rarely had an outfit`s colour inspired as much debate as the striped selection, which was `obviously` blue and black for some, and `clearly` white and gold for others. Why are we bringing this up five years later? Because we found ourselves in a similar predicament when congratulating Cyrus Broacha on his dramatic physical transformation that has now become the talk of the town. "But there hasn`t been one," he responds. Puzzled, we give it a second shot. `You look significantly leaner in the image you shared online,` we try. "I have looked like that for years. I don`t know what people are talking about. Maybe it has been photo-shopped. I have been training for years, and this is how I look." Hmmm...
Broacha has been for most `90s kids, a significantly influential figure. He is remembered as the ultimate prankster, with his big build being a conspicuous part of his ebullient personality. Accustomed as we are to asking questions, we try again. `Perhaps people have seen you look bigger than you currently are, which is why there is a perception that you have lost weight," we egg him on. Turns out, our attempt leaves him as confounded as his responses do us. "I don`t know. I`m not sure how to answer that." Hmmm....
