I was like, ‘This cannot be me—that’s the way I look?’ … ‘Cause as a kid I only fantasized about looking that way. Remember Soloflex commercials? That was huge when I was a kid.

Bradley Cooper is not the only one who fantasized about looking like the Soloflex models. Scott Madsen and Mitch Gaylord had amazing bodies. Nothing was too large or too exaggerated.
