Author Topic: Has anyone actually met Phil Heath? (Read 3371 times)

I met him about a couple years ago. It was a totally random occurrence but he was the most genuine, nicest fellow. Stopped to talk to me for a while, got a picture, etc. Totally down to Earth.

I realize reigning champs always receive the most e-hate, but Phil Heath in person was one of the friendlist "athletes" I ever met.

Liar. Everyone knows the guy is an asshole.

Have seen him a million times. Talked to him though ? Not really. More of just a nod or hello in passing.

I did. He happened to train at my gym while in town. We worked arms together. He congratulated me on my physique. Then, I woke up.

I know someone who went to dinner with him after a guest appearance over here, they liked him too.

It's odd, in person everyone says the same. But over social media we can all see him being a complete douche.

Not recently but I did talk to him for a few minutes in the lobby at the NPC nationals back in 2008.
Seemed like a laid back dude and had a real sense of what he wanted to do in bodybuilding.

Met him years ago when he did the guest spot in the ukbff Portsmouth qualifier.
Really personable guy and very chilled out. This was before he was MrO. At the end when most had left he hung around and took photos with people and didn't have any kind of attitude.

I had the misfortune of bumping into him at the deli counter at walmart. He was purchasing 5kgs of coleslaw, and 2 extra large bratwurst. Guess he was off to do some G4P. I called him out on this, he started calling me a "hater" and began running toward an aisle where two trolleys were parallel. Needless to say, he didn't even have to turn sideways to navigate this obstacle.

This is true. I once saw him hula hoop in a Cheerio.

Phil has a persona that he uses to show how competitive he is but he is also a normal fella when that persona is turned off.
