Mark-Paul Gosselaar, the 52-year-old actor known for his role as Zack Morris in NBC's 'Saved by the Bell,' has been accused of faking his six-pack abs following a recent appearance at The 2026 Bell Media Upfront in Toronto, Canada. Gosselaar appeared in a crop top and short shorts to promote his upcoming comedy series 'Bulges,' which centers on imaginary workers at an adults-only restaurant staffed entirely by men. A video posted by Toronto-based social media creator Becca Rhodes showed Gosselaar on stage, which quickly garnered over a million views. Commenters expressed surprise at his physique, with some suggesting that his abs might be the result of a body suit or prosthetics. Jonathan Popalis, the co-creator of 'Bulges,' stated that Gosselaar's abs are real, while Gosselaar himself later mentioned in an interview that his on-screen appearance involves prosthetics and fillers.
