More often than not, comedic actors are a little soft around the middle - but not Zach Braff. 

The 40-year-old debuted his new six pack on Instagram on Wednesday and it was certainly nothing to be sneezed out.

Fresh from the gym, the Scrubs star managed to rope in a buddy to help him document his hard worked for abs.

Proudly pulling up his shirt and rolling down the top of his tracksuit pants, the actor showed that he has not just got himself a six pack but also some equally impressive obliques.

Zach's secret to get a rock hard six pack is simple - give up the other kind of six pack.

Captioning his snap, the comedian wrote: 'Less booze, more gym.'

The star has revealed previously that his gym inspiration was to be able to get the abs of Brad Pitt in Fight Club, and seems he is well on his way.

While the Garden State star has never been very overweight, he has fluctuated in the past between super skinny and having a little extra cushioning.

However, in the last few years the actor turned director has been dedicating himself to the gym - obviously more so recently.

However, cutting down on the booze in favour of hitting the gym may not be his only secret to getting a six pack.

Zach may also have carrots and Arnold Schwarzenegger to thank.

While a strange combination, the star told Conan O'Brien in  2013, Mr. Olympia himself gave him some tips on how to get great abs after Arnie turned up to his gym.

The 40-year-old said: 'I don't know if he knew me as an actor but he came over to me he was like ''What's your goals with your workout?''

'I got nervous, I don't know what to tell him so I said ''To be honest I wish I could have abs like Brad Pitt in Fight Cub.''

'He said, ''That's all diet. You eat have carrots.''

'So I went home and I'm like frantically eating carrots [but] I never got those Fight Club abs.'
