Hulk star Lou Ferrigno is prominent for roles matching his behemoth physique, showing off his supernatural strength and power. Well, the star actor has another side to him that fills the room with love and warmth. And that’s precisely what happened with his wife, Carla Green.

A week after their encounter, Carla called him and went on their first date. At the end of the date, she knew she was going to marry him. They shared great chemistry and camaraderie. Ferrigno and Green now make a beautiful family with three children. Having said that, it’s hard to believe Green refused to marry despite multiple requests. In a 2009 documentary, the couple got candid about their love story.

Ferrigno met Carla at a restaurant. He was surprised to learn that she was the manager. He watched her walk around in the restaurant for half an hour and finally asked her whether she could sit down and talk with him. She refused owing to her “management position.”

Eventually, it did happen. “I couldn’t resist. He had this sweetness about him and I said, ‘Okay.’” The macho man made several offers, suggesting she spent more time with him. Carla realized her constant refusals weren’t helping and decided to take his number to reach out later.
