You are talking about more than 10 or 15 women. Q: Do you believe the women or Bill Cosby?Ī: The women. People are responsible for their own actions. I don’t have to point the finger at people. Q: Would you like to go Incredible Hulk and MMA on Bill Cosby?Ī: I can’t speak for my wife. Those high heels and splits are what caused the hip pain. Michael Jackson was one of my favorite people.Ī: No, but I always wanted to. He came to my private gym and I would train him. He was so skinny.Ī: He liked flexibility, not heavy weights, the stamina and also conditioning. Q: Michael Jackson didn’t look like he ever exercised. It was Michael Jackson in a costume at the comic convention. I kind of ignored it, but I found out the next day it was Michael Jackson playing a prank on me. And I kept saying, “Excuse me.” Then he came back again two or three hours later, making these weird sounds. Q: Do any of the costumes worn at Comic Con ever scare you?Ī: One time a guy came to Comic Con and he had a big mask on and he looked like something out of the “Predator” movie and kept making these sounds. I like to train for an hour, 30 minutes with weights and 30 minutes with cardio. I go to the gym in the morning by 8 o’clock. You clearly are still in the gym every day.Ī: I just finished working out today at 12:30. Q: What time do you get up in the morning to start your regimen. Q: Has anyone ever tried to lift you off the floor? If I have to turn a screw, sometimes I turn it too tight. sometimes I’m walking, because of my size. Q: Do you ever break things around your house because you don’t know your own strength?Ī: Sometimes. If you look at female body builders, I’m sure they can. Q: You know, women can’t do that, I don’t think.Ī: Some can. You do a lot of chest work, you have control of the muscle. But if somebody challenges me to do it, I’ll just do it. Do you make your pecs move?Ī: I don’t think I want to do that. Q: Terry Crews, the guy in the Old Spice commercial who used to play in the NFL, is always making his pecs wiggle. He’s had to work five times harder than the average person dancing to perform like that. But he’s a lot younger than me … I have to give him tremendous credit because people don’t realize what it takes. Q: Are you watching Nyle DiMarco, the completely deaf contestant, who is the best dancer on “Dancing With The Stars?” Could you do that?Ī: Yes. When I was younger I had difficulties articulating and speaking. That’s why I had all these dreams, when I was young … being the Hulk, being Hercules, being an actor, an entrepreneur and worldwide motivational speaker. It forced me to work harder than the average person to succeed. I probably would have been a carpenter or sanitation worker. Q: How do you think your career would have been different if you hadn’t had hearing issues? (Ferrigno is an icon in the deaf community for what he has accomplished as a result of a profound hearing loss believed to have been the result of a childhood infection that was not properly treated.)Ī: I would not have come as far as I have now. That was my first love of a super hero.Ī: To read people’s minds. I grew up with Superman when he was on the TV series. Q: Who’s your second favorite super hero? I think I know your favorite.Ī: I think you’re right. He was playful when talking about his late friend Michael Jackson, and he even did something memorable when I asked if he could wiggle his pecs like Terry Crews. She didn’t think she would be believed, but when more women started telling similar stories (the number is now over 50), she decided to speak out a couple of years ago.įerrigno had a very charitable response when I asked about Cosby. In 2014, Ferrigno’s wife, Carla Ferrigno, revealed that in 1967 when she was single and known as Carla Green, Cosby forced himself on her when she was invited to his home by a mutual friend. It was enjoyable if you like being enveloped by a gigantic contoured muscle, and I did.īill Cosby probably shouldn’t expect a hug, but the disgraced comedian apparently wouldn’t bring out the “Incredible Hulk” in Ferrigno. At the end of our interview, Ferrigno took a photo with a GdB PR fan and then gave me a warm embrace. I interviewed TV’s “Incredible Hulk” at the Hyatt restaurant when he was here for Wizard World Comic Con. Lou Ferrigno is a sweet, civil hulk of man.
