  Shit I remember this. I too was down there, I was on a mission to solve world hunger when one day out of sheer boredom, keith created football, whiskey, sex and the repeating rifle.

the rock is not exactly a BB, he was a wrestler. Never competed. If you go for the fact that he works out, Matthew McConaughey would fit as well...  ::) ::)

I'd say Steve Reeves
He ruled the sword and sandals era and was one of the highest paid actors at the time.
Not well known to today's audiences though


next up

Lou Ferriggno or  Ralph Moeller
Lou is more famous than moeller though.

Exactly, you cant include the rock as he is not a bb. If the criteria is anyone who lifts weights then i imagine nearly all actors woud qualify.

Don't need to compete to be called a BB, as long as you are a man with muscles. Take Victor Richards for example.

"Before starring as James Bond in the 1962 classic Dr. No, Connery made a number of low-budget films. The center photo is from the 1973 camp/cult classic Zardoz. An interesting note: in 1953, Connery entered the Mr. Universe competition, coming in third in the tall division. He was spotted for films in the contest. Visit the Classic Bodybuilders web site for a photo of Connery from the Mr. Universe contest."

This is even more interesting.

    
After three years of Naval service, a long bout with a stomach ulcer shortened his "naval career". He returned to Edinburgh and seemed to settle into a life of hard work: bricklayer, lifeguard, and coffin polisher. Sean spent much of his free time bodybuilding, a pastime that eventually started his acting career. His hobby of bodybuilding culminated in a bid for the 1950 Mr. Universe title where he placed third.

Sounds like a lot of lies all around.
