Oh man I just want to cry after seeing this. I'm a 17 year old senior, I weigh somewhere between 260 to 270 pounds and most of my fat is in my torso. my legs are far more muscular than my arms and I've been trying to lose weight for such a long time but goddamnit I love food. Lou Ferrigno, I don't know if you watch this but I have so much respect for you. there are days when I wish you were my father. hell just as much as I wish Schwarzenegger was my dad. my you have a wonderful life and I just hop that I become an actor someday and meet you in person. I've only become a 70's Hulk fan for about 6 months now but you and Bill Bixby have put a new view on life for me. May Bill Bixby rest in peace.
when i was a child watching the hulk i was so amazed that someone can get that big...fast forward years after i learnt about bodybuilding and who was the hulk...and when watching pumping iron for the first time i always thought that this world cant contained lou ...he was so much wiser than he looked....and everyone knew he would become a legend..
Lou's interviews are so inspiring, love how he explained to the crowd his reason for getting into bodybuilding,which of course was for all the bullying he experienced as a child! His performance as the Hulk was just like the adjective that always went with the character he always portrayed on the show,incredible!!! Just like in some of my favorite episodes such as "Like a brother",Dark side",Promethesus",The first" and of course this list goes on and on and on!!!
Lou Ferrigno is a class act. A real friendly guy with a big heart. I also heard him talk about Michael jackson. That really open up my eyes for him. Great guy.
Chuck Norris doesn't hold a candle to you, Mr. Ferrigno. he has overcome a serious disabilty and made an eternal mark with his excellent acting work in the Hulk TV series. love the attitude, so very uplifting.
I got diagonsed with type one diabetes two years ago. Lou is the biggest inspiration I've ever seen. You're a true champion Lou. Thankyou for making me believe in myself.
Lou is one of the most under rated sucess stories around. And what a great story it is. He stays low key and humble even though he's accomplished so much-gotta love the guy.
💪🏆💪What a sweet, adorable man. I remember being three-years-old and my grandmother bought me a "Hulk" figure, and when I got home, I doused his chest with my grandfather's "Brut Champagne" aftershave. I have always had a big crush on Lou Ferrigno, but only, until now, do I realize what a sweet and lovable man he is and always will be. 💪🏆💪
@@queen_fan287 what do u think about when lou was competing against arnold for mr olympia and both of there psyches at the time and i read that the judges Favorited arnold at the time. and arnold
Everybody loves the Hulk. And everybody loves Lou. I don`t know of anyone who don`t like him. He`s a laid back easy going guy and really friendly and open. He believes no matter what your handicap you can still be anything you want to be.
Lou Ferrigno rocks. He's actually one of the rare bodybuilders who seem really down to earth and humble. As much as I like Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he was young, and even some instances now, he was very cocky and arrogant. Nice guy, but arrogant I think Lou is very down to earth because of his hearing loss and that made him realise he wasn't perfect just like everyone else and that he wants to be the best he can. Wish more athletes would follow his example.
@videozfann thanks a lot. forgot to mention that it was too bad the HULK was cancelled. it would have been nice if it had gone a couple of more seasons. those were the great 1970's & 1980's. b. bixby @ first didn't want the role. i've enjoyed the MAGICIAN. he looked better as he aged. thanks again.
Sorry... I have to disagree. My son met Lou @Ottawa Comicon2012, and he was warm and very accommodating. He autographed a photo for myself and went to the bother of wishing me a Happy Mother's Day. He also did the "Hulk" stance with my son and made a childhood dream come true. Sorry for your experience...
Lou, you vs me in a showdown TONIGHT 8:15!!!!!!! If im not there by 8:20, its probably because im hiding in a corner somewhere crying and sucking my thumb. lol
i bet he can still lift some impressive stuff even now but yes ur right, by this tme ur muscles have got weaker and ur bones so weight training is harder!
He makes films because he likes doing what he does in them, not just for money. He seems kindhearted and his story is inspiring.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT LOUFERRIGNO!

Wonder if Big Louie ever wat ched the 3 Stooges version- The Three Stooges Meet He rcules. Samson Burke was Hercules in that one.
what song is that @4:44? I've had that song stuck in my head for the past 3 days LOL it's such a beautiful song :)

what is that movie about his life? what is it called
What was Iro's last name?? I wanted to look him up and learn more about him?
His name is Ira Bankofsky
yes
The Expendables 2 - Staring Lou Ferrigno...
Compete with yourself good advice Lou!
why do people think he's stupid?
Just becuase he's def dosen't mean he's stupid. I mean i can name a dozen people who rare stupid but they aren't def
@videozfann he aged nicely. a true hardworking guy.
I wanted you to win over Arnold when they were competing that's how long I've loved him
3:12
Lou, you vs me in a showdown TONIGHT 8:15!!!!!!! If im not there by 8:20, its probably because im hiding in a corner somewhere crying and sucking my thumb. lol
Stand Tall
K thanks :)
i bet he can still lift some impressive stuff even now but yes ur right, by this tme ur muscles have got weaker and ur bones so weight training is harder!
He mentions his two sons and says nothing about his oldest child...his daughter. That's a little sad.
Probably because he was talking about bodybuilding, so that's why he didn't mention his daughter.
Arnold still is arrogent even to this day. You can...you can just sense it :(
dibble danning beautifowl woman wit a gweat body. hahaha.
Lou isn't just a man he's what a real man should be not just his muscles but his integrity and his style
