    Lou Ferrigno on Celebrity Apprentice.

    Unbelievable....he's still built like an ox.

    In the board room when Donald Trump asked him about being in shape, he mentioned that he was down to 265 lbs but weighed somewhere in the neighboorhood of 325 lbs when he was Mr. Universe with 2% body fat.

    In E.W., Trump mentioned Lou has a 'caustic' personality, and made some enemies on the show.

    Sounds like good watchin'.

      He was certainly caustic to me, so no surprises there.
      I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

      If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

        He came to the Wonderfest convention last year and made an arse out of himself. He had some steroid boyfriend of his he spent more time talking to than he did meeting fans. Would literally ignore people standing at his table while he talked to this guy. He won't be invited back. One more method for revenue wiped away.

          i had the same unpleasant experience and i even had my 7 year old with me who was the reason why we went to wonder con. lou didnt even acknowledge him even after i told him that my boy was a big fan of his and has seen all the incredible hulk shows on dvd. not even a 'HELLO, NICE TO MEET YOU." just a plain jacka$$. i've since sold all the hulk dvds and the ones that didnt sell, i gave them away. i noticed that he didnt want to look up from his table bec he didnt want fans snapping photos of him.

                I remember reading about how the staff at Wizard took him out to eat during one of the Cons and he stiffed them on the bill.

                  Wow...didn't know that. He made a good first impression on the show. Dee Snider also seems like a nice guy on tv at least. He was very nice last season in helping out when he wasn't even part of the show and I did see him on "Celebrity Wife Swap" and also came across as a really nice guy.

                    The worst thing I ever heard about Dee Snider was that he had split ends.

                        Not to make excuses for him or anything but how many of you know that Lou is partially deaf and I wonder how many of these "He didn't even acknowledge me" stories can be because of that.

                          I'm now glad I didn't speak to him when I saw him in the Superman Museum in Metropolis several years ago. I'd rather keep my childhood memories intact.

                          On the other hand, both Adam West and David Prowse were nice to me...

                            I was surprised to see him at the Arnold Classic Expo in Columbus, maybe it was 1995. I was walking the floor and stumbled upon him. Keep in mind there was nobody at his table at the time. Here's the exchange.

                            "I can't believe you're here. Would it be okay if Igot a picture with you?"

                            "If you buy one of my books."

                            "Um okay, sure." I handed him 40 dollars.

                            "Could you please sign it?"

                            "That's another ten dollars." Gave him another ten spot.

                            I had my friend dig his camera out for the picture and started walking around the table.

                            "No. You stay on that side."

                            So I got the picture, a book I didn't want and. my heart crushed to dust.
                            I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                            If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.
