1980s Throwback: What Are Your Favorite Stars Up to Now?
Lou Ferrigno – Pumping Iron
Lou Ferrigno rocketed to 1980s stardom as the indomitable Hulk on TV, but his influence extends far beyond that iconic role. A celebrated bodybuilder, Lou won Mr. America and Mr. Universe titles before turning to acting. His competition with Arnold Schwarzenegger was memorably documented in “Pumping Iron.”
Post-Hulk, his acting resume expanded to include roles in “Hercules” and “The King of Queens,” while he also hosted his own fitness show. Lou has pivoted towards motivational speaking and fitness training. Deaf in one ear since birth, he champions hearing loss awareness and fundraising for research. As an actor, athlete, and advocate, he remains a multifaceted inspiration.
