I'm back here at the Magnum booth with one of the biggest guys I've seen around at this even so far.
This is Jerome ‘Hollywood’ Ferguson.
Yeah! What’s up baby? Great seeing you man.
Look at those arms!
Hey, he’s got some abs man. I weigh 265 lbs (120.5 kg) baby. Hanging out here babe!
This guy is 80 lbs (36,4 kg) heavier than me, look at him. He's bouncing up and down!
Hey baby, let's get this party started. You want to see an athlete move? Watch out guys.
Tha's right baby! Top side baby, in the house baby.
Alright, alright, calm down, calm down.
You know what, though? Bodybuilding has really made my dreams come true.
Yes, it takes a lot of discipline, your life is bodybuilding, you eat, sleep, drink it. Everything is scheduled
Around eating and the hardest thing to do is to try and find a balance.
Oh, absolutely.
But one thing I can tell you about a bodybuilder is you are kind of born a bodybuilder, you know what I mean?
It’s not something you wake up and say I want to be a bodybuilder.
It just turns out that way.
Yeah, it just turns out that way. And the thing about me, I just stay within myself and live my dream.
Who I want to be, being authentic. And here we are baby, living the dream.
But you know it's opened some doors up for me.
You are definitely authentic. I’ve seen you at the gym, in Gold’s gym Venice, probably the greatest gym in the world.
The Mecca!
And you move some heavy weights! Is that what it takes, do you have to lift heavy to be a bodybuilder on stage?
You know what? Yes. I hate to say it guys buy you got to work hard.
You have got to step outside of that box and basically lift some heavy weight.
You have to lift some heavy weight. It's mental, it's just as much mental.
It's up here.
It’s up here man. Your brain doesn’t think that you can do it, you know what I mean? But as you get in there
You just leave your brain at the door, you change, you check your ego in, you check your brain at the door.
You show up and just do!
You have got to be focused in the gym.
You got to be focused man. And to keep that damn focus, what I call the gym is my therapy.
When I go, I hit the weights so hard, in so much pain that it just makes everything else disappear.
When I get done, I love my cat, my dog, and I don’t even have a cat. I mean, I love everyone else’s cats.
You know what I mean? Kitty cat what up baby? Who let the dogs...!
Anyway... But no man really it opens up doors for me. I got some cool commercial’s out there
Check out that Planet Fitness commercial, *** Pow. I did a kid commercial and I’m in for some movies
Coming out... So it opens some doors up. But the thing about the whole thing, the one thing I learnt
About this whole sport is you have to be you. You can't be what they want you to be because everybody
Keeps changing their minds. You be what you truly are and eventually they will accept you. There you go baby.
You know?
He said it right there, the guy himself 'Hollywood'.
