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.

Recently, the Hulk posted a collage on his Instagram addressing his gym buddy as a $300 million worth pop singer according to his birth month. This created a hilarious turn in his followers, and they flocked into his comment section to share their birth month twins, too.

His projection in The Incredible Hulk, Hercules, Sinbad of the Seven Seas, and Cage grabbed the spectators’ attention. In fact, even now he remains updated on bodybuilding and the film industry. Just a few days before, the Hulk posted a picture of some of the USA’s renowned people and captioned it with, Let’s do this @justinbieber 🦾”. 

Evidently, it was a list of gym buddies where one can choose, “Your birthday month is your gym partner for life.” Clearly, it was a small game he wanted to play with his followers. The list contained – Ronnie Coleman, Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Austin, Kanye West, Dwayne Johnson, and many others. Being a November-born, Ferrigno included the pop singer Justin Bieber.
