The King of bodybuilding remembered everything in detail, and he also whipped up the famous moonwalk by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.?
The throwback video showed Coleman wearing a jungle safari vest with a hat, and as soon as he ripped open his costume his aesthetic and flawless muscles were all on display and the fans went crazy. Then he did his iconic moonwalk, which apparently took him two months to learn. Finally, the bodybuilding champion opened his hat and showed his iconic hairstyle. While talking about it, he said, ?Back when I had the mighty ?fro? the TWA working.? He also broke down the meaning of TWA and said, ?That?s called a Teeny Weeny Afro.?
