I think dysmorphia started at a very young age for me, I mean all my action figures were jacked and Lou Ferrigno was playing the Hulk every day teaching me how to rage lol

 

[Curt James]

This thread is simple name the person and give me one fact about him or her. The first correct answer will get rep points.

[fit4life]

Bertil Fox??? Facts are ripped abs and striated chest thats 4 sure..................

 

[Curt James]

^^^^ Correct! One fact, unfortunately, is that he was convicted of killing his girlfriend and her mother and is currently in prison.

On May 22, 1998, bodybuilder Bertil Fox was convicted of murdering his former fiance and her mother on the Caribbean isle of St. Kitts. He was originally sentenced to death by hanging, though on Sept 27, 2002 his sentence was changed to life in prison.
