Levrone? Say It Ain't So...

Interesting career change for one of the former best bodybuilders ever.

I cannot believe my eyes, wow.

Okay, aside from Kev looking absolutely horrible (not even athletic looking!)… that was kinda funny (“but you gotta wear these!” -lol)

Good find man…that’s funny. Man he sure shribbled right up. Where’d it all go?..seriously

I was going to say that there was just a thread about this. It’s pitiful enough that it ought to be called to attention, though. His body is just awful-looking, really.

He did that on purpose for comedic effect.

Yeah, he looks bad, but he can go from that to at least 250 lbs. contest ready in an amazing amount of time. The dude dieted up to contests, so he can basically adjust his appearance on demand.

That cant really be him? Look-alike? ROFLMAO

How “pitiful” is it when a bodybuilder loses muscle on purpose because of a career change?

Pitiful would be if he just carelessly lost all of the weight because he was too lazy to eat or hit the gym. That isn’t the case here…and of all people, he can get back to where he was faster than anyone.

I don’t see the big deal here. Kevin doesn’t need to be 250 lbs to feel good about himself obviously. He wants to act and acting roles are a lot easier to come by at 175 lbs then 250 lbs so this seems like a no brainer.

I’m laughing at the “he looks awful” comments, when he isn’t sticking out his gut on purpose he’s still go an outline of abs, lean arms and shoulders etc. He looks like a guy his age(over 40 if I remember correctly) who keeps in shape.

He’s a former bodybuilder…I guess he doesn’t feel the need to be 200+ lbs anymore.

I have to agree. What’s pitiful is when pros don’t know when to call it quits and get healthy. I like the fact he has the confidence to not give a shit.

I believe he is somewhere around 43? And yes he looks average (seems like he is actually deliberately exaggerating this by sticking his stomach out etc) clearly he is aware of this and it’s all part of the sketch/piss take of bodybuilding.

Seems like he doesn’t do any lifting at all anymore.

In case you guys haven’t noticed, 300 pound pillars of muscle aren’t exactly what Hollywood casts these days.

The way I figure it, he made a career decision. He’s got nothing to prove in the field of Bodybuilding,… to anyone.

Still… never thought I’d be able to say I look bigger than Kev -lol

Sad… But true.

Why is there no one out there that wants to be an action hero anymore? They all act (actors) as if that’s a bad thing…

the only action heros are chicks… WTF!

No shit! I’m sure you’d defeat him onstage right now.

But if you both auditioned for a particular film role, he’d beat you there… unless they needed a white guy.

lol

well, I’d hate to be typecast as a ‘white guy’. I think I have more range than that -lol
