Fuck, this Italian toad is so embarrassing. How he won bodybuilding's top prize, ever, is forever a mystery. (Not really. His best friend is Arnold.) And the sheer craptitude of his films is staggering. The man's got NOTHING going for him, cinematically.
I came face to face with Franco backstage at an Arnold Classic and was floored with how small, ugly and idiotic he looks in person. And just to be clear, I've met a great many legends WAY past their primes, and none have appeared anywhere as close to the shittiness of "The Sardinian Samson".
Oh, brother.

Bill Pearl, for instance, is significantly older, and makes Franco look like a clown, in all ways.
Franco is a pioneer in the "all drugs" campaign. Without them, he has as much muscle as a field mouse.
