Since photos surfaced of Zachary Levi in full costume on the set of “Shazam,” he has batted off accusations that he is using padding to fill out his physique, leading to a swipe at an article by Men’s Health that said “we’re still not buying it.”
Last week, Levi first responded to the padding accusations by posting a photo taken by his trainer, Eric Blackmon, showing off the results of intense workouts to prepare to play the DC superhero.
Sooo much padding. ????#FakeNews#FakeMuscles#FakeWeights#FakeChickenAndBroccoli https://t.co/2H8BMRCZOu

SEAT is set to become the first carmaker in the world to integrate Shazam, one of the world’s most popular apps, which is used by hundreds of millions of users to magically connect with the world around them. This was announced today by company President Luca de Meo at a press conference on the first day of the Mobile World Congress. The integration will become operative starting this April in the brand’s cars via the SEAT DriveApp for Android Auto.
The partnership will enable SEAT customers to easily identify their favourite songs while driving in a completely safe manner thanks to the safety features available in SEAT DriveApp. With this move, the brand is taking a further step in its goal of providing an experience that is increasingly simple and personalised, and that causes less distraction to drivers. “For all music lovers, being able to identify songs is going to be at their fingertips. Integrating Shazam will enable us to continue making progress in our goal of delivering maximum safety for our customers and achieving zero road accidents” assured de Meo. In his presentation, he added that “attending the MWC not only allows us to showcase our latest technological breakthroughs, but it also gives us the opportunity to connect and learn from other benchmark companies in the sector and make future scenarios a reality.”

But the Men’s Health article said that despite Levi’s gains, his biceps still look smaller than how they look in the set photos released three weeks ago.

Levi’s simply shrugged off the article with a reply on Twitter:
Well, it’s a good thing I’m not selling anything then. Also, slow news day? ??’?♀️ https://t.co/ohEUdnL6pM

Despite what has been jokingly referred to by fans as “LeviGate,” Levi has remained enthusiastic about the project, regularly posting pictures on social media of his time in the makeup trailer and on set. He even compared the immense amount of hair gel he used to get Shazam’s famed slicked-back do to LazyTown villain Robbie Rotten.
Whether he’s packing muscle or padding, Levi will fly into the DC Universe when “Shazam” hits theaters on April 5, 2019.
