Lou Ferrigno story

[Thespritz0]

His dad was a Lt.in the Nypd and was a prick! Many of his underlings became sgts and lts in later life( one sgt and one lt were some of my bosses)and would go on about how vindictive and weasely he was..many ghetto cops wished for him to get a ghetto stomping to wake him up!

^^
I did read a story from the early 1960's where Matt Ferrigno (then a patrol Constable) stopped a car full of Brooklyn criminals, a few tried to get out and fight him, and he beat them until backup came...
I'll give him credit for that, he was no coward!

[Primemuscle]

why does he sound like he has downs

He's deaf. Deaf people often sound different when they speak.

[Primemuscle]

Pretty sure he was Italian not Jew.

Was? Is he dead?

[Primemuscle]

I met him before and I asked him for an autograph and he told me "20 bucks" and I only had 5 bucks left in my pocket (I was only 9) and he told me to go fuck myself and farted in my face as he turned heel and walked away

So he's a child abuser now?

[Primemuscle]

Lou's problem is he doesn't know how to hide the fact that he's a complete sociopath. Arnold is brilliant at it. Watching Lou crawl in his own skin on that Trump show was extremely telling of the man's mental status...

He's a sociopath failure then. Sociopaths are generally very likeable until the kill you.

[Primemuscle]

I don't know Lou personally. I have no experience dealing with him either good or bad. What I do know is that I wouldn't pay anyone to sign their photo and especially not someone whose claim to fame is playing a "not so Jolly Green Giant" on a stupid television show.

Every time I've net Lou he's been rude. I have deaf aquanitances too so I know that communication is a challenge. But his communication problems have very little to do with his actions. He has a people problem. Its a shame because he has so many fans but he seems like a very very bitter person. I imagine when his fans meet him most would be as disappointed as I was.

I standing one armed concentration curled 180 lb dumbell in front of lou, and then said thats how you train, he just looked with his mouth wide open sitting in shock, in the front room of golds venice

[Childish///AMG]

He is just looking out for his "Senior" years

[Primemuscle]

He is just looking out for his "Senior" years

Well then I wish him luck. He'll be long forgotten soon.

Marvel should take his right to use the hulk likeness ...

[Tapeworm]

Maybe you should just get a job already, Lou.  Can you do anything?

[syntaxmachine]

I knew that the time Lou was their spokesman.

Yes, well, what sort of results were they expecting?

[Slik]

Yes, well, what sort of results were they expecting?

prolly just some simple respect to the hand that was feeding him.

On the early 90s I worked at paradise gym in Miami and Lou came in. I think he was doing a movie. He was done training so I asked for an autograph. He signed for me and didn't say a word. I don't think he was getting the 20 bucks back then. Still have the auto

WHAT would he be calling Musclemag for??  I thought he was mostly a Weider boy?

This was during his comeback attempts and he was wanting Bob to send him all his books (?). He always wanted stuff from Kennedy.

In '96 I was gassing up my car and Lou drove past real slow.  Rolled down his window and asked me if I wanted to buy a stereo.

In '96 I was gassing up my car and Lou drove past real slow.  Rolled down his window and asked me if I wanted to buy a stereo.

I was at the local McDonalds drive up ordering a big mac and who appears in the window offering me his photo? Yep! It was Lou.

He said, "For only $20 more, you can have a personally signed photo of me."

I replied, "Fine, but I'd rather you didn't personalize it."

That's when he upped the price to $100.

I'll remember this forever because that was the last time I ordered a big mac or went to a McDonald's for that matter. Oh, and I declined his photo op offer. In my rear view mirror, I could see him blowing up and turning green as his McD's uniform started shredding away from his steroid built body.

my mother has some pics of him in arnold together when they met at a private gala in columbus ohio during the arnold classic, and no, he didn't charge her 20 bucks for the pics lol

this gala included zane and his band performing some tunes

[Tapeworm]

I'd ask him to sign it in the black box at the bottom.

It is not a speech disorder in any real sense. When people are deaf, they cannot hear/learn how to speak from others. If you'd ever spent time around hearing impaired folks who try and speak you'd see that Lou has a very mild condition compare to some.
