Lou Ferrigno - I seem to remember that from Pumping Iron.

EDIT: I did not read the question title and assumed the question was who said it. Lou said it and he was referring to Arnold. My vote for "Other" should go to Arnold.

I thought he said, “Gee, dad. You’re big.” because you know Matty had a weight set and used to do a little training himself

Lots think it was Schwarzenegger based on Matty's interpretation, but I have it on good authority that Lou was actual looking over at Ben Weider wacking it in the corner.....

Yes, from PI.

Lou is only 3-4 years younger than Arnold.

Was it Arnold?

How old was little baby Lou when he said it?

Big Tony reminds me of the Gimp laughing in Pulp Fiction. Or that retard Benno from Mad Max.

How old was little baby Lou when he said it?
He was around 23-24 when he competed in the 1975 Olympia. He probably said that to his dad when he was in his teens.

I'm thinking Lou was only about 10-14 years old when he said it.

That would be 1961-1965 or so.

Pre-Arnold.

  Matt was talking about Arnold. It happened in New York brooklyn acadamy of music. They did Olympias there and other shows. So it could have been 1969 or MAYBE 1970. Arnold is 76 now so he would have been 21 ish or so and louie is 72 now so he would have been 17 ish or so. True story?  Who knows. More than likely it is .

Tony laughed to laugh. He resembled a juiced up Jeff Spicoli. He also made those Arnold Classic jackets. Wasn’t he also the Gold’s Gym enforcer? Always pay your (gym) dues, or Tony will come get ya
