Joy Behar has continued her tradition of flirting with The View\u2019s hunky male guests.<\/p>\n

Behar was in the seat next to Marvel actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani, who let her get her hands on his \u201cbuff\u201d arms on Friday. <\/p>\n

The conversation veered towards Nanjiani\u2019s physique when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked, \u201cWhat do you sometimes hear from people on the street about just how buff you\u2019ve gotten recently?\u201d since \u201cyour muscles have become a bit of a distraction to a lot of fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Behar decided she would get a first-hand feel while Nanjiani answered the question, squeezing his bicep through his sweater and offering only a quiet, \u201cYou mind?\u201d as he spoke. Nanjiani offered, \u201cYou want me to flex, Joy?\u201d and Behar chuckled and gave his arm another squeeze. <\/p>\n

Though she was out of frame, Ana Navarro\u2019s hand can be seen sneaking in a squeeze of her own. <\/p>\n

Behar replied, \u201cWoah, baby,\u201d seemingly satisfied with the interaction. <\/p>\n

Nanjiani, who was promoting his new comedy special Night Thoughts, out Friday on Hulu, kept up his fitness regimen after physically transforming to play Kingo in Marvel\u2019s Eternals. <\/p>\n

He wrote on Instagram<\/a> in 2020, debuting his muscular transformation, \u201cI never thought I\u2019d be one of those people who would post a thirsty shirtless, but I\u2019ve worked way too hard for way too long, so here we are. I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvel\u2019s Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked.\u201d<\/p>\n

He told The View hosts that the majority of the compliments he gets on his body come from other men. \u201cWomen do not care about muscles,\u201d he said as the co-hosts finally let go of his biceps. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe only time I get compliments is from men.\u201d Nanjiani said he told his wife Emily Gordon, \u201c\u2018Guys will talk about specific parts of my body all the time,\u2019 and she\u2019s like \u2018They\u2019re hitting on you.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018They\u2019re not hitting on me.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

The Eternals actor said he proved his point when he and his wife of 17 years took a stroll through the streets of New York City. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe was like, \u2018You\u2019re right!\u2019 Guys will just be like, \u2018Hey, nice shoulders, man!\u2019\u201d Navarro added that in her experience, \u201cCalves are a big thing with men.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nanjiani replied, \u201cBecause they\u2019re hard to grow. And I\u2019ve got pretty nice calves.\u201d<\/p>\n
