Title: Met Lou Ferrigno today
Post by: Immortal_Technique on August 28, 2015, 12:29:20 PM
He was filming some pickup scenes for next film "Sudden Death" in the office where I work in Bristol. I was the only person in the office at the time, so I asked for a pic, he was reluctant as hell but didn't charge $20 :) My immediate thought was to update the Getbig universe on this discovery that he does pics for free.

Many thanks,

IT

Did you tell him that Getbig thinks his underwear bathroom pictures were kinda gay?

Haha I thought about it. It was "Instant Death" actually I fucked it up. Anyway yeah he looked pretty jacked. Had a whole bag of pills and supplements in a hold-all and his biceps vein was bigger than my whole body.

 I'm sure he'll be sending a bill in the mail, the question is does he bill you individually or does he charge your corporate office?

This is just it, I guess I'm busting the myth, the mofo didn't charge a penny! Sorry Getbigger motherfuckers! He was really grumpy and unfriendly though, if that makes up for it?

I'd be grumpy too if for 40 years I'd had bodybuilders wanting to do the thumbs up pose with me.

Hahaha, if I harp on about this enough the story will probably change in time to be fair. ..Actually I think it was $40 and he had sex with a grapefruit

Yeah probably, the film looked a pretty low budget affair to be ...fair. Seriously surreal  the whole thing, I was making a cup of tea one minute, then suddenly there was him + 4 film crew sat in the kitchen asking to use our milk and and coffee and permission to film next to the office.

I would post the pic but it'd get dragged up and belittled in some Mower-esque retrospective overly-personal appearance-based flamathon in 5 years when I attempt to mount an intelligent argument against ND about some utter nonsense! Haha

In all seriousness, you basically witnessed bodybuilding's version of Haleys Comet. Congrats!

Few have claimed to be an actor for as long as Lou has while not being remotely an actor.

He's a mean, delusional guy and his film resume reads like a list of to-be-avoided D-grade motion pictures.

£12.99 for the big mans autograph seems reasonable..?   ;)

And I've thrown a few comments around recently about how tall some well known BB figures actually are when you get to stand next to them - please tell me that Lou seemed tall to you!?

Check out Lou's reaction to Scott Herman at the 2011 Mr. Olympia expo, when Scott was just trying to be polite.  In an MD interview with John Romano, Lou claimed that some of his autographed photos were worth $300.  The thing is, this isn't 1985.  That may have been true then, but it's not true now.  Lou doesn't realize that it hurts his image to be so cheap.  Having said that, I realize why Lou would find it annoying if his expo lines got bogged down with people wanting free photos.  He is a businessman, after all.  However, Lou also takes issue with people even taking his photo from a distance at expos.  One person on here once reported that Lou asked him not to take any photos of him sitting at his table.  Also, suing his brother wasn't cool.  I think Lou thinks his market value is higher than it actually is.

Lou's just a bonafide, 100%, Grade A prick. Absolutely no question about it, complete fucking tool.

Apology accepted, friend. Now, I'm not quite sure if Lou will do the same. I'll tell him, but he's pretty hard-headed and also hard of hearing. He had an ear infection when he was a baby in the crib and had to become a lip reader. He used to stay up all night reading the muscle books

I know this board throws the world sociopath around a lot, but Lou is your classic sociopath. Watching him on Trumps show was mind blowing...

Yeah man, I'm 6'2 and he was definitely a solid 3 inches taller than me, also I'm about 210lb at the moment and his arms/chest/shoulders were about twice the thickness of mine, also he was exceedingly tanned. Looked pretty badass in a leather jacket too at one point, whatever his age is he's looking healthy as fuck, which is surprising I guess since all the 90s guys are now small or dead. All the way big dude! ... Whom I have a photo with which was $o :)

Haha yes Instant Death has over one thousand likes on Facebook already so I predict it will smash all box office records and surpass the Terminator as the most iconic muscly man action flic ever!

 funny what certain actors agree to do, did the producers look at that part and think that screams lou ferrigno!?  Does lou have an agent pushing for roles saying lou if you do the voice for billy in adventure time it'll boost your profile and disney pixar will be calling you up to voice a lead character in their next big animated blockbuster

Haha I haven't received a bill yet. I think because I was the only guy in the office I was effectively giving "permission" to use our kitchen and drink our tea and coffee and shit, so maybe it was like a favour. He wasn't keen to do it, but eventually did without charge. Surreal experience!

I can't post the pic because Getbig takes no prisoners and I don't want my face being photoshopped onto a grapefruit or appearing in a Vince G / TA / Mower Christmas mega montage of uber gay Getbiggyness! Haha
