IQ 160, speaks 6 lenguages, Black Belt in several martial arts, in the making of the Rocky movie, Stallone wanted for realism that Lundgreen give him a real punch, after this he woke up in the hospital.

Instead, Lundgren found himself at the centre of one of New York’s most romanticised periods. He dabbled in modelling but was too tall and big for most gigs. He earned a basic wage alongside Chazz Palminteri as a bouncer on the door of Manhattan’s Limelight Club. By night, he hung out with Keith Haring, Iman and Steve Rubell. By morning, [Garace] Jones would bring back as many as five girls for group sex, an activity he describes as “exhausting”. He was a regular at both Studio 54 and the Factory, and Andy Warhol would invite him to do a photoshoot with Jones. But not before Warhol asked him: ‘What are you famous for?’

“It was certainly a shock for this young engineering student,” he says. “I’m pleased to have been part of that scene. It was right before Aids, and the club scene was hardcore. And my girlfriend, Grace, was a big gay icon, so we went to a lot of the clubs. We knew Andy and all the designers, and Michael Jackson and David Bowie. It was simpler in those days somehow. And fun. Entertainment wasn’t corporate in the way entertainment is now. A lot of the people I met back then are not alive anymore. You know, Aids or drugs or a combination of the two. Its bittersweet looking back. Even with Andy. I thought he was an old man at the time but he died in his 50s.”

Point to Lundren for epic party stories.

Stephen Hawking fell into the same role in his later years. If your first introduction to him was trying to communicate science to stupid people, please read Black Holes and Baby Universes, or really, any of his works before he was getting ready to die.

I bet Lundgren is a huge piece of shit irl, no way someone like this can’t have a major fatal flaw

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

IIRC he's a Zionist and criticised Sweden for being too socialist, so yeah, a couple.

[–] sourquincelog@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I read through his wiki entry and didn't notice anything of import except he made a bunch of flop movies and then he married a personal trainer 40 years younger than him

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If he is a Prime, what does he transform into?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

120ft tall robot version of himself.
