Why Is Hrithik Roshan Trending In America? Know His Secret To A Chiseled Body That Helps Him Looks Youthful At 50!

Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan has unexpectedly found himself at the center of a viral trend in the United States. Although he has always been in limelight for his physique and workout regime apart from his films in India, his chiseled body has also impressed netizens in America. On April 5, a user on X (formerly Twitter) named TheLizVariant posted a side-by-side image contrasting two 50-year-old men, one being Hrithik Roshan, the other a typical middle-aged American man from 1985. The post was cheekily captioned, “50-year-olds in 1985 vs. 50-year-olds in 2025... It’s funny 'cause it’s true.”

The image resonated hard with netizens. Within hours, the post racked up 48,000 likes and nearly 6 million views, triggering a wave of curiosity and admiration.

“Who is that guy?”

While many instantly recognised the Indian actor, plenty of Americans were stumped. Comments poured in like, “Who is that guy on the right?” and “Why does this 50-year-old look like a superhero?” One user pointed out the obvious: “You're comparing a global movie star to a regular guy from the ’80s, of course there's a difference.”

But the mystery didn’t last long. Another user chimed in: “That’s Hrithik Roshan, one of the biggest stars in India.” And just like that, Hrithik's fanbase multiplied as Western audiences took a deep dive into the life of this chiseled Bollywood icon. One tweet summed it up best: “So Hrithik Roshan is now the gold standard for 50-year-old men in the West?”

Dubbed the 'Greek God of Bollywood' for his sculpted looks and charismatic presence, Hrithik Roshan has long been a fitness inspiration in India. But now, it seems the world is catching on. His recent role in Fighter showcased a jaw-dropping physique, pushing fans to ask, what's his secret?

Let’s break it down.

Hrithik's fitness regime

Structured but flexible training

Roshan works out five days a week, usually in a two-days-on, one-day-off format. On rare occasions, he pushes to three consecutive workout days, but only if his sleep and recovery are on point. Each session lasts around 45 to 60 minutes and targets two muscle groups, like chest and triceps or back and biceps.

Daily movement is key

Apart from weight training, Hrithik emphasizes cardio, especially walking. He makes it a point to clock at least 10,000 steps daily and often adds variety with beach jogging, swimming, or aerobics. For him, keeping the workouts fresh is essential to avoid physical and mental burnout.

My friend and trainer Kris Gethin journeys back to his home in the US tom. With still 10 weeks more to go for the completion of our 2nd phase, and 6 months of intense hard work already behind us, I could not have been more satisfied, more charged, more driven and more at peace… pic.twitter.com/FRENb8zUiz

The Lifestyle That Supports the Look

Recovery is a Priority
Sleep is sacred for Hrithik. He usually turns in by 9 PM and stresses the importance of rest to prevent injuries and maintain performance. Hydration is also a must—he drinks around 4 to 5 liters of water every day.

Consistency Over Extremes
Hrithik isn’t a fan of crash diets or trendy fads. He’s focused on long-term sustainability, which is why he eats six to seven meals a day to keep his metabolism active and prevent cravings.

Laughter wasn’t on the agenda that morning.

I remember waking weak, it was back and bicep day I think. Both precarious for my injuries. Dreading the number of sets and reps, target obviously set at the highest intensity by Kris. pic.twitter.com/uStlae8UwA

So, next time you see a viral comparison meme featuring a Bollywood legend and an average Joe, just know: that’s not just a meme. That’s Hrithik Roshan, and he’s redefining what 50 can look like.
