The Incredible Hulk actor Lou Ferrigno has widespread recognition for his behemoth physique. This bodybuilder-turned-actor came to the limelight while performing in bodybuilding shows with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Evidently, he played the role of a challenger to Schwarzenegger in the cult-classic documentary Pumping Iron (1977). From working as a trainer for Michael Jackson to role-playing in several movies, the two-time Mr. Universe has always been in touch with the Hollywood fraternity. This reflected in his recent Instagram post.
