“They Are All Afraid of Me”: Bodybuilding Career Affected Ronnie Coleman’s Dating Life Back in 2001 as Women Were Scared of His Beast-Like Body

Standing tall at 5ft 11 inch, Ronnie Coleman is one of the most decorated bodybuilders to walk the stage of Mr. Olympia. Dominating the stage for eight consecutive years, his dedication and passion for the sport were praise-worthy. With a beast-like body, Ronnie Coleman was one of the rarest people to perfect his physique with versatility.

A man of few words, it’s rare when Ronnie talks about his personal life. Getting the best side of the “King” in 2001, Tonight Show host Jay Leno shared a great conversation with Ronnie.

Ronnie stated the reason for being single 

In the said interview, Ronnie can be seen in a great mood. From talking about his professional life to diet to body fat, the duo can be seen discussing many things. To learn more about him, Jay asks Ronnie about having a girlfriend.

Pausing for a few seconds, Ronnie replied with his famous smirk, “No, I am single.” Stating further the reason for him to stay single, the ace bodybuilder added, “they are all afraid of me.” Showing an interest in Ronnie’s strange reply, Jay could not stop himself from asking the crucial question, “why?”

Together they were referred to as the strongest couple—the two dated for seven years before calling it quits. In the late 90s and early 2000s, the two were the epitome of dedication. Leading with examples, the two worked hard and gave their best to turn their dreams into reality.
