“They Just Couldn’t Stop Laughing”: Lou Ferrigno Was Left Embarrassed After Watching His Ridiculously Unnatural Looking Stunt in Theatre With Friends in 1983

Lou Ferrigno held the Mr. Universe title twice and won the Mr. America contest. Ferrigno started his journey as a bodybuilder and competed for Mr. Olympia several times, battling against Arnold Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbu, but could not take the trophy home.

Not long after that, Ferrigno battled against villains when he was cast as “The Incredible Hulk.” The Hulk recently revealed a scene from his 1983 movie that embarrassed him in front of many.

Lou Ferrigno was embarrassed because of a movie scene

In an interview with Entertainment in 2003, Lou was asked about a sequence from his 1983 movie “Hercules.” The reporter asked Ferrigno if he had ever thought about the scene where he threw a grizzly bear into outer space.

Lou claimed that he first noticed the scene while he and his buddies were in a movie theater watching the film. Following the incident, Ferrigno’s pals could not stop laughing, and Ferrigno marveled at the bear’s ability to float.

Ferrigno said, “They just couldn’t stop laughing. I was shocked because the way the bear was floating, it just looked like a big stuffed animal.” Later, Ferrigno expressed doubt over whether people would care to read the kind of stuff the interviewer was asking.

Alien frogs kidnapped Ferrigno

Ferrigno then answered another question about his movie Frogtown 2, which was released in 1993. In the movie, Ferrigno gets kidnapped by alien frogs and tries to make his way out. Lou said that in comparison to the grizzly bear, the frogs liked him better because of the green color.

Frogtown 2 was rated 3.3 out of 10 on IMDB. Ferrigno said it was the last frog movie he would want to do. Ferrigno did superhit roles in The Hulk, Pumping Iron, and Avengers. However, the 71-year-old former bodybuilder also had his share of embarrassing movies.
