Aaron Pierre, That's Mufasa: Fine A** Photos Of The Hunky Actor

If we ever had our own personal entrance song, we would want it to sound like Aaron Pierre, that’s Mufasa. Aaron Pierre, that’s Mufasa. English actor Aaron Pierre became a household name when he starred in Netflix’s Rebel Ridge. The Hollywood heartthrob captivated his female fan base with his charming eyes, dashing good looks, and dominating 6′ 3″ stature. God really showed out when he chiseled Pierre out of his most delicate clay. Pierre is more than his looks, he’s a talented actor, who honed his skills at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. His most recent role as the voice of Mufasa brought a new level of fame. While visiting The Jennifer Hudson Show to promote Mufasa: The Lion King, Pierre participated in a viral spirit tunnel video that has spawned trends on TikTok. Men are forever traumatized by melodic sounds of “Aaron Pierre, that’s Mufasa” coming from their partner’s phone. His lady fans (our social media manager Charlene Masona) even came up with a game plan to put Lori Harvey on the fine actor’s trail, but she playfully asked to be left out of the convo.

Aaron Pierre revealed he got into the best shape of his life to play his breakout role in the action thriller Rebel Ridge. In an interview with Men’s Health, he opened up about physically preparing himself to get into character. “We would spar. We would practice choreography. We would do drills. It was strength training, but I had to really work on being dynamic. This was one of the first times it fully set into me that flexibility is a strength because without flexibility, you can’t engage with your strength to its fullest capacity. That’s one of the things I learned from this and have doubled down on since then. I’m a big Yin Yoga lover now.” Pierres’s lifestyle includes a paleolithic diet and a love for martial arts. The hunk revealed to Interview Magazine he bulks up for roles by eating foods like “Yams, boiled green bananas, and callaloo and saltfish.” He added, “I really enjoy doubling down on the yam and green banana and don’t really eat the dumplings as much.” His most recent role in Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King required a different type of prep. “I was incredibly nervous. I hadn’t ever sung with confidence outside the context of my shower before,” Pierre told On The Red Carpet at the film’s world premiere in Hollywood. “So this was a large step for me doing a Disney song as I’m sure you can appreciate.”

Clearly Aaron Pierre can do everything. Keep scrolling for some fine a** photos of the actor.

Showing off his modeling skills, Aaron Pierre poses for a photo while promoting his role in National Geographic’s Genius MLK/X. Pierre admitted he was hesitant to accept the role of Malcolm X out of fear of not living up to other depictions of the late civil rights icon, particularly his hero Denzel Washington’s lauded portrayal.

“Denzel is a hero of mine. I have the utmost respect for him, not only artistically but personally,” he told LA Times. “I had to manage that a hero of mine had played a hero of mine. I dealt with that by accepting that truth and then setting it free. Once I did that, I was able to permit myself to be liberated and safe enough to explore my own portrayal and bring my own life experience to Malcolm.
