Even after a few months since its release, Shazam's physique is still a topic of discussion amongst DC fans. When Zachary Levi was first seen in the hero's super suit, some fans have speculated that the actor got a little bit of help with some padding. And now, Levi finally puts an end to this debate.

Taking to Twitter, a fan recently asked the actor about how they could become Shazam. Of course, Levi wouldn't put out what he exactly did in order to achieve his physique, so he responded with somewhat of a joke, telling them to eat their "wheaties."

Another fan tweeted a reply to the actor's answer, stating how they were "salty" with some people who claim Levi's body doesn't actually have that kind of build, which led them to believe that the actor used some padding in his costume.

Eventually, Levi actually responded to the fan which got some people surprised since he literally confirmed the speculations about his suit months after the release of the movie Shazam!. He joked a bit with his confession too, suggesting that Levi used just a "little" layer of padding.

Obviously, Levi did get prepared and got bulked up for the role, so having a little padding doesn't equate to just completely relying on those layers. After all, the actor looked good, regardless. And he did well in the movie, which is essentially much more important.

For now, there are no details regarding a sequel for Shazam! yet but Levi is expected to reprise his role.
