As the ENQUIRER reported last week: Was TV Hulk Lou Ferrigno’s workout regimen too much for the ailing King of Pop?!
Former Mr. Universe Lou Ferrigno, TV’s Incredible Hulk, had been furtively visiting Michael Jackson‘s HQ to help get the scrawny King of Pop him in shape for his London concerts.
"Lou has been visiting Michael to build him up so he can perform his dance routines" a source said.
"But Jacko refuses to lift weights. He doesn’t want to bulk up."
Sources say Jackson just needed to be able to have the endurance to sing and dance through a strenuous series of concerts that had been planned for July in the UK.
Yet the oddest couple were far from strangers, MJ and Lou became pals in 2007 after Jacko had attempted to work out at Lou’s gym.
"Michael is more delicate," Ferrigno said in an interview.
"Our trainer conditioned him for dancing. He likes me – he feels safe with me, he feels protected.
"He was nervous about people looking at him when he was training."
According to sources, the night before Jacko’s death he had shown up late for rehearsal at LA Staples Center to practice dance moves with his team of back-up dancers.
Reports indicate the singer looking wan and exhausted after arriving much later than scheduled.
A Madison Avenue doctor told The ENQUIRER, “Any extreme exercise workout coupled with anti-depressants and pain killer usage may result in a very toxic situation.” JACKO LIFE IN PIX
