A kid at the gym approached me tonight all excited with pics he took at the Olympia expo. It was his first time and he was still buzzing. As we were going through his pics I noticed one of Ferigno looking down at his table. I asked him if Lou noticed him taking it and if he said anything. Apparently he asked Lou for a picture and Lou sternly replied " No, I am closed ! " with out ever looking up at the kid. So he takes a pic as he was walking away and Lou immediately puts his hand out and yells "that will cost you 20 bucks". The kid pays him and goes on his way. He had a blast but was let down by a childhood idol.

Good old Lou.

My question is, what if the kid would have just walked away and said no? What would have Lou done? Would he have gone up to the kid and forced him to pay? Would he have walked up and barricaded the kid to a corner preventing him from walking away? Would he had resorted to getting real angry, turning green, growing 5 times his natural size and proceeded to smash things in anger?
Fuck Lou,
"1"

Lou Ferrignostien?

Lou's a worthless heap of shit. My sister made me take a picture with him at a comic book convention that we took my nephew to. He was a major prick and I bit my tongue and paid the twenty bucks anyway to make my sister happy. Afterwards, she also commented on what a prick he is.

The kid little bitch pays him and goes on his way.
Fixed.

Unbelievable...

So what if that jerkass wants to charge for photos, worse is that theres folks willing to pay for picd of a not very famous bb/actor whose sig is next to worthless when there's 1000's of pics of him online. And if we just assume for a second that Lou's sig is worth a shit then why would'nt he charge when these peolple could technicaly be making money off of them on ebay.
I remember when Valentino was making fun of this thinking that retarded delusional fuck was just jelous that nobody would ever pay to take a photo with his dipshit self...but he was certainly benefiting from it all coming off as a good guy and "defender" of the fans.
-
He should just sell some nice posters or 8x10's of himself at his booth and sign them for free.
-
What a POS. But we already knew that.....
-
Who in the hell would want to take the picture of a 50 something year old bodybuilder?
-
are you for real? serious question, I don't know if this satire.... did that really happen? if so... damn. lou is a fuckin dick.... who the fuck demands payment by a bystander if they are photographed? fuckin surreal.
-
Ahahahahahahahaha :o ;D
Unbelievable!

In the mid to late 80's he had alot of muscle mass and very little body fat on his body, so yes, he is justified in this type of behaviour
-
Yeah Lou is a bastard. A friend of mine talked to him at the 2004 Iron Man Fitexpo and he told Lou how he enjoyed watching him in, "The Incredible Hulk" tv series. So he asks Lou if he could take a picture with him and Lou says, "You have to buy something"
He was charging $20 for 8x10's!
I met John Cena who, is way more famous than Lou will ever be, and he took a pic with my friend and I and didn't ask for anything.
Lou is such a douche, I hope he goes deaf or something like that ;D

You should have blasted him in the eye with a super-charged jet of cum!
-
Karmas a bitch. I wonder how many bridges he has burned over the years.

That's just it, people who ARE famous, don't go around pulling stupid shit like that. They are cool to their fans.
It's one thing to charge for a pic, but to be a prick while doing so, to the few people who still remember your sorry retarded & deaf ass, from some show 30 fucking years ago......not cool.

I'm surprised kids these days have even heard of Lou, let alone consider him a childhood idol.

Lou at 08' Mr.O

Whats amazing is Chick even made fun of him one year at the OLYmpia and Lou still to this day is doing shit like this...Just unfcking real...I think it would be fucking great if someone with some serious money hired some people to show up there with picket signs saying Boycott Lou Ferrigono...Or get this douche bag to say some nasty things to a kid while undercover video tapping it and then send it to Bill O'Reilly or something...O"reilly as much as I hate him can make a lot of people wish they were someone else...

20 bucks please....
;D

I find it hard to believe that story is true. If it is true, it would be very sad.
If Lou is reading this maybe he could add a comment to explain.
With regard to the law, he cannot legally enforce any fee on anyone for a photo, unless that person has previously entered into an agreement with him to make such a payment in return for a photo.
-
absolute GOLD!!!! i can't believe this is the first time i've seen this...Genius work right here...
-
ha!
funny shit ;D
-
I bet he dont charge the Paparazzi when he infrequently gets invited to movie premieres. The man quite clearly is a cu*t of the highest order.
-
masterpiece!!!! :D :D
-
You guys f'in kill me. You knock the fact that he charges $20 for a photo but you are the same Jackasses that pay it.
Look up supply and demand....people pay his price so why should he lower his price....
Stop bitchin about it and boycott it.
I don't know Lou and don't necessarily agree with him BUT obviously his shrewd business practices work!
-
Lou "The Incredible Jerk" Ferrigno will NEVER change. >:(
-
Fixed.
don't be an asshole Tre
-
LOU IS A BIG ASSHOE !!!!!!!!! :(

I went to the Olympia expo a few years ago and deliberately took out my old 35mm camera with the disposable cube flash attached right in front of Lou and flashed off several pictures straight at his face.
He looked at me and growled " thwat ill bee twuntee bucks for zzat pictoor".
I stared back and said "what are you going to do if I refuse Dumbo?" He recognised my rough Scottish accent and obviously remembered the time I offered to shove his hearing aid up his dad's arse back at the R&J club in New York in the 70's when they tried to interfere with my workout. He muttered "thwats all right Mr Thumshon, yoo get de picz fur fwee".
I swear the dumb bastard had shat his pants because he had to go to the restroom immediately after and he was walking like his cheeks were chewing a toffee.

Do you have any gossip on Lou?
Did he pose for schmoes back in the day? or anything scandalous?

The sad Truth is, Lou gets paid quite well to stand at that booth and take pics, and talk to people.I dont understand why he has to charge money for pics aswell.If I was the Weiders, I would not pay him anything to stand at the booth, because he is charging people money to take pics of him.Why pay someone to stand at your booth when they arent doing what they are paid to do, take pics, and talk to the fans.His actions leave a bad taste in the fans mouths.Making Weider, or what ever booth he is standing at look bad.Imagine if I had a pro, at my booth and he was charging to take pics with people?
People would say, Extreme Labs is a bunch of scums bags having a pro bodybuilder charge for pics.
When you work a booth you are paid to take pictures with the fans sign pictures, and answer questions.If you dont do these things you dont beleong at a booth.I bet that cheap POS Lou is making probably getting paid atleast $500-$1000 a day to stand at that booth.If I was the Weiders or who ever's booth he was at I would fire him.He is washed up, and he is bad for the industry.I bet if I asked Arnold for a pic, he would say "certainly" and not charge me $20.

Most celebs who charge money for their autograph get paid to appear in a booth by that company. It gives their booth more exposure which is what they want. When I was with Sergio Oliva at the Arnold he was getting paid $5,000 to be in the booth and he was charging $10 and $20 for a picture signed. Companies will pay celebs to sit in their booth cause they know it will bring them exposure and in some cases the celeb will make sure they are able to sign pics and stuff for additional money. People on here are ragging Lou for doing this but many do and they make a whole lot of money doing it or they wouldn't do it.

Hey Keith did you go to the Olympia this year?

Shitty is an overstatement

That bastard never let's us down huh?

What Lou Should have done: Smiled for the picture, said something entertaining or funny, thanked the individual for being a fan of his and encouraged him to watch his next T.V. show or movie.

I don't know Lou and don't necessarily agree with him BUT obviously his shrewd business practices work!
There are over 40,000 posters on GETBig every month...I would take a guess that less then .001% of these poster actually give that ugly fuck a dime and I would bet that if 10% even seen him, 5% of them would tell there buddies about him being a complete douche bag...

Hahahah...yes, alienating the fan base is a "shrewd business practice". I think that is the "shrewd business practice" that Enron, Worldcom, Bear Sterns Cos. and Lehman Brothers used too.
If fact Lou is doing SO GOOD at his business he is reduced to going to comic book conventions and BBing shows to hock photos from 30 years ago-and he still can only "sell" 50 pics per show ($1,000).
Lou is a fucking moron, he is disliked by virtually 99% of the BBing community-his core base-and it will never get better. Lou has burned any good will he ever had or could have built.
-
Maybe people pay him the $20 cause they feel sorry for him, if I was in his vicinity and snapped a pic, I'd laugh in his face if he actually had the nerve to ask me for $20

I'd tell Lou he has to pay ME $20 bucks 8)
