While we lesser mortals are bemoaning the extra kilo or two or three or four picked up during lockdown, Maps Maponyane is singing a different tune after having shed his lockdown kilos in record time.
It’s an impressive pic Maponyane, and there’s no doubt that many will be eager to learn how you managed to look like this in just 12 days!
And if you don’t believe me, his Instagram post reads as follows: “'I've dreamt about this one since I was a kid, and now finally it's here. That one elusive cover I can say I was fortunate enough to have graced. We shot this just over two weeks ago, and one day I'll tell you the story of how it came about, and how I had to get my body from lockdown food overload, to @menshealthza cover ready in 12 days
An actor, TV presenter, voice-over artist and generally multi-talented guy, let’s not forget that Maps started out attending modelling as well as acting auditions. He was named GQ's "Best Dressed Man" in 2011 and Cosmopolitan Magazine's "Sexiest South African Man" in 2013.
And with this latest cover, it's a ‘dream come true’. Here’s hoping he lets us in on his secret sometime soon.
