I have a lot of anger about my childhood - being hard of hearing and my relationship with my father.
Close to birth... I lost, like, 80 percent of my hearing, and I had difficulty speaking.
I have a tremendous passion for fitness, I love challenges and I am a very driven guy.
I don't think anybody else can play the Hulk like I could. I was able to show emotions even with all of the makeup. I don't think it can be duplicated.
When I work out, I wear two in-the-ear hearing aids for comfort, and then I wear the behind-the-ears for my day-to-day non-physical activities, when I need maximum hearing and to communicate with people and do interviews!
Now because he saved the day they're making another solo Hulk movie after the second Avengers comes out,
Most pro bodybuilders have bad relationships with their fathers. We want to prove something.
I've done the voice for the Hulk for the animated cartoon.
I have always had an ambition to do 'Dancing with the Stars.
I love doing comedy. I did comedy for seven years on 'The King of Queens.
I train a lot of people on the side as a personal trainer, but I still work out myself to keep in great shape.
I've been involved with law enforcement for some time. My father was in law enforcement. I went through the training for Homeland Security. I enjoy it very much.
Pumping iron is not what it used to be. It doesn't have the personality it used to. When we started out, people who worked out had nothing. Now there is so much money involved; back then it was the love of the sport. We appreciated what we have. Today it's not the same.
There is no excuse for anyone not to train three times a week. People want to look fat. Anyone can change their mind if they want to. It's all about motivation.
