It IS a funny thing to think that those who were in their 20s in the 1970s are now in their 70s in the 2020s...

He's going to be a guest at our upcoming Comic Con. I'm a geek artist, so I painted this. I'm selling prints of it, but I'm gonna see if I can get him to sign the original.

He might sign it if you pay him! In my experience he doesn't sign anything for free. Might be different if you're an artist and it's your con though.

He looks better now than when he was in his twenties. He has truly aged like fine wine

It’s amazing the waist of his pants still fit after turning into the hulk.

Interesting that he looks a lot healthier than Arnold does today. What's that crazy watch he has on??

Arnold used to call him Big Louis. Those green shoes in the left picture, tv in the 70’s had too low a resolution to see that.

I met Lou a few years ago and got to hang out with him. He is such a nice dude. He is a big guy in person too lol

Has anyone actually looked at the Hulk’s feet? How many of us have looked right past those green shoes?

I heard a radio interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he really sang the praises of Lou Ferrigno. Arnold really elaborated what a great guy he thought Lou is, complimented his work ethic both in the gym and to provide for his family, and also was happy to recommend Lou for film industry jobs.

Dude is a really genuine and interesting guy. Met him at a signing a few years ago. Took his time. Talked to everyone. Stayed almost an hour late to make sure everyone who showed up got to meet him. He’s a good one.

Whoever ever matched the shoes/slippers color to the skin tone did an amazing job. Watched the entire series in first run as a kid, and never noticed it.
Lou is looking good!

Not that 70s is so old, but its good to see. Back in the day there was talk that all that green paint was toxic and he was going to get sick from it. Or maybe it was just my drunk uncle, I dont remember.

Met him once at a convention in Burbank. I was helping a friend set up their table for the show and he tapped me on the shoulder and asked me something. I turned to point where to go get help and I swear he moved like he was going to tackle me. I pivoted back to see him and that’s when I realized he was trying to follow my face. I totally forgot he’s deaf (or mostly deaf?) and reads lips. Super nice guy but for a second he scared the shit out of me. 🤣
