new Ferrigno story
« on: September 28, 2010, 09:14:23 AM »
so my buddy is at the Olympia....

and he sees louie......he decides to go over and say hi.....maybe shakehis hand......this guy has been a big Louie fan for a zillion years.


He approaches Lou and says hello......Lou responds.....something to the effect......that he is on vacation with his wife and would rather not interact with fans at this time.


thought you gents would get a kick out of this recent Louie tale.....the guy just seems like a raving prick.....coincidentally .......another friend met Lou at a comic book store a few years back......he said Lou was standoffish and not warm at all......sad.....but Louie just doesn't interact well with his fans......too bad he can't realize that without his fans.....he is nothing.

Might have to do something with the fact that hes mostly deaf. Try going to a bar with ear muffs on. Hed probally be much more open to fans if they realized how hard it is to function in crowds without good hearing.

Here is another story.  When I had a booth at the Olympia a few years ago, Louie came by and stayed for about 10 minutes along with Carla talkiing to my partner and me about old times and what was happening now.  Louie is controlled alot by Carla.  She takes care of all his business and appearances and whatever else he does.  I have no idea if she is his manager but she makes sure he gets aid for everything he does.  I am very surprised no photos of my fat self with Louie have not risen out of the dead.  Thank god!

sometimes when a person is deaf, and self-concious about their voice......like louie........and has to read lips..........the might appear standoffish or cold or uninterested

but in reality, they night not even see that your speaking to them.......or didnt pick up on what you were saying





that being said........stories about lou being a douche are too numerous to mention.......its almost like EVERYONE who is or ever was a bodybuilder, or who was in the fitness industry in some capacity..........has their own "lou ferrigno is a ignorant and greedy asshole story"

a guy who would try to take the bread off his own brother's table esp when his bros wife is having health issues is a prick pure and simple. just like lou. big girl didn't dare make trouble when his pa matty was alive.
