"You know, he has put on 30 pounds of muscle and he's 8 percent body fat," Jen told Kelly Ripa on Friday's Live With Kelly & Michael. "He looks pretty good. It’s a little bit like, 'Whoa, who are you?'. It feels like I'm having an affair. But I don't mind, I'm not complaining."

Ben also stopped by earlier the morning show earlier in the week, where he talked about having to bulk up in order to compete with today's larger-than-life superheroes of the Marvel universe.

That was ok, but now you see guys like Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans and all these guys whose bodies are just, you think, 'How is that even possible?' Exercising is as much a part of the job as the rest of it."

Well, it's nice to know those muscles aren't just built in – like the nipples from the George Clooney-era Batsuit!
