Actor Lou Ferrigno, best known for his turn as the Incredible Hulk throughout the late-70s and early-80s, is apparently in the running to become the head of Donald Trump’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition. Ferrigno, who spoke with the Daily Mail about his candidacy, claims he has been speaking with Trump about working with the governmental organization.
“I am an appointee and I want to be the Head of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness & Nutrition,” he said. “I have been corresponding with President Trump because I want to change America and make America healthy again. I am a top choice for them. I feel I am the best candidate for that.”
Ferrigno is a vocal supporter of Trump, as well as a former contestant on Celebrity Apprentice, and was pushing for Trump’s presidency as early as 2015. He hasn’t been swayed by the criticism surrounding the embattled Commander-in-Chief, either.
“It is hard to be in politics. Trump is a great president,” he said.
