Lou Ferrigno has carved an indelible mark on the world through his remarkable physical prowess and exceptional acting skills. While Mark Ruffalo might be ‘The Hulk’ many people from the Marvel Cinematic Universe know, Loue Ferrigno was the first ever actor to have played the significant character of The Incredible Hulk from 1977 to 1982.

Lou Ferrigno is highly regarded in the bodybuilding world for his exceptionally huge physique, which clearly helped him in depicting the character of The Hulk. In addition to that, he continues to keep the character alive within him even today, even though he’s not portraying it on screen. His recent post took over the Internet.

Lou Ferrigno shares a rare picture of The Hulk in the gym

It might be decades since Lou Ferrigno retired from the most significant character of his entire character, but hardcore Marvel fans still prefer Ferrigno for the character over anyone else. The athlete too is clearly attached to his illustriously played character and thus keeps disguising himself as it. He recently took to his Instagram and shared another hilarious picture of The Incredible Hulk.

He captioned the post, “Tag a friend that you think would do this! 😂” In the post, he was dressed in an all-green suit just like the Hulk inside the gym. Now, you must be wondering what’s funny about this. Well, the Hulk happened to be posing in a dancing step wearing Barbie pink shorts, wristbands, and a headband too! The entire fitness community was thrilled at the post and it was a complete delight to watch it!

The Hulk in the post even had fake abs, chest, and biceps drawn on the suit with a black marker, and had a white pair of shoes and socks, with two pink stripes. Clearly, playing the character had brought him immense joy and fame. However, every coin has two sides. And just like that, apart from being the best part of his career, playing the character brought him some personal problems too.

Lou Ferrigno shares the disadvantages of playing The Hulk

In an interview for Men’s Health Magazine, where Lou Ferrigno appeared with his son Lou Ferrigno Jr., he recollected how playing the role of The Incredible Hulk affected his personal life. The feats of fear that the on-screen character instilled in the audience caught up with him off-screen too. 

He said, “I remember walking around the street, I had to wear a 4XL T-shirt. People would get out of the way. It was like Moses coming. When I’d get upset, people would think I was becoming the Hulk. But I don’t see myself like that.” It not only extended to strangers, but to his family and friends too, and the time had been extremely difficult for him.
