Sucks to be the girl squished next to Lou Ferrigno on his cross-country flight yesterday -- this guy is still frickin' massive.
A spy on board the original Hulk's plane from Newark to LAX says he was packed tightly in the front row -- of coach! -- making for what must have been one long, uncomfortable flight.
He seemed OK at baggage claim afterwards -- and no sightings of any angry green giants were reported.

1. I always liked Lou Ferrigno. What a gentleman. He's a class act.

4. I'd rather sit next to him than one of those fatties that slop over into your seat.

5. I was on a cross country flight from NY to LA once and Lou was across the aisle from me...in coach.
I had been bumped from First due to a flight cancellation. I am sure he must have been as well...apparently NOT.
I guess the residuals for the Incredible Hulk aren't all that impressive.

7. not sure why this is filed under "wacky and weird?" Lou answered all your questions and was actually a nice guy to you TMZ. By the way, him and his daughter have a great show on Ego TV called Fighting the Freshman 15.

14. Lou is one of the nicest guys there is. I know him from my former job back in Los Angeles, and him and his wife are absolute sweethearts. He doesn't throw his money around, that's all. Why spend the money for first class when you'll get where you're going with less money by flying coach.

Lou Ferrigno is my personal hero! I used to get a lot of sh*t for it because unintelligent, neanderthals would make fun of his hearing impairment but it never waivered my devotion. From day 1 he has been nothing but a class act and great role model. I met him a few times in Boston and still have my signed photo from him when he did a Gold's Gym opening. He was 42 and looked as good now as he did then.
People always thought I was weird because I'm a girl and always referred to him as my hero but I've always loved him since I first learned his story in Pumping Iron.
The very first time I met him was in the mid-80's at this seminar he did on a line of natural diet supplements and I was so excited to see and meet him, I almost fainted. He was SOOOO nice to me. I asked for a kiss and he kindly gave me a little peck on the cheek. What a sweetheart.
Keep on keeping on Lou ... you're the best and I can't wait to see the new Hulk movie!
