Lou Ferrigno – 69

Aside from Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of the most respected professional bodybuilders is Lou Ferrigno. He is a fitness trainer and consultant who won the IFBB Mr. America and two consecutive IFBB Mr. Universe titles. If there is one thing that makes him incredibly famous, however, it is for playing the role of Hulk on the CBS TV series The Incredible Hulk. Lou started weight training at the tender age of 13. Who would have thought that the young boy who only idolized Hercules back then would end up doing the eponymous movie in 1983?

In case some didn’t notice, he was also part of the 2003 and 2008 Hulk movies with his cameo appearances and part of the franchise as the character’s voice, even in the MCU franchise until Mark Ruffalo took over in 2012. The investments Lou has made in his body and talent have paid off, and fans may continuously see more of him in the coming years.
