‘I’m Sick of You’: Marlon Wayans’ Gym Pic Left Fans Cracking Up After They Zoomed In on This

Marlon Wayans’ post-gym selfie on Oct. 20 left fans in stitches after they saw the comedian’s facial expression.

In the Instagram post, Wayans claimed the reason behind the contorted face was because he would rather rest than go to the gym in the morning.

He said, “Me running from my overly ambitious self that made me go to the gym this morning when I should’ve slept.” Despite what Wayans previously stated in his caption as the cause for his face, fans suggested his look was from bowel discomfort.

One person went as far as to compare his “constipated” expression to a “White Chicks” scene where Wayans’ character, who is lactose intolerant, rushed to the restroom because he unknowingly ate quiche.

“I know that face when u get to the front door & ya Stomach is on sum bs.”

“This right here giving me I gotta take a s–t vibes ‘ITS COMING.’”

“My initial thought was this I was the emergency bathroom run face. The one where you have to strip down completely. Guts be on bubbling cauldron mode.”

“My brotha, you look constipated.”

“Look just like you did on ‘White Chicks’ during that bathroom scene.”

In addition to the jokes, others mentioned how funny Wayans was. One wrote, “I’m sick of you.” Another said, “You’re soooo funny.” Wayans’ fitness journey began back in May after the actor shared his “dad body” posts. The uploads were influenced by Will Smith candidly opening up about his weight gain during quarantine.

Wayans first joined the challenge to get in the best of his life by his 49th birthday in July. He wrote, “Hey @willsmith posting my dad body/quarantine body too… f–k it! Wait a month… gonna post my transformation by my bday. I’ll have the best body of my life 7/23/2021 stay tuned. #dadbodychallenge.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
