Bolo Yeung

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Any hardcore martial-arts movie fan will be familar with the infamous Bolo Yeung.

Aside from a few classics like Enter the Dragon and Bloodsport, he’s mainly starred in B-grade movies.

Come to think of it… Bloodsport is probably the epitome of a B-grade movie.
Amazingly, Bolo turns 70 this year (born July 3, 1938).

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

It’s a tough battle for the title of ‘most monkey looking man in rock’.
I think Gaz Coombes from Supergrass takes it over Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

UFC Fighter Forrest Griffin has the life:

…and on top of all that, he kinda resembles a chimp :-)

Turns out that the Indian cricket fans weren’t racially taunting Andrew Symonds with monkey chants afterall.
They were worshipping the Indian monkey god Hanuman.

Ok then…

The original monkey children from Full House.

Although… there is a good argument that they look more like ‘troll dolls’ than monkeys.

Bindi Irwin - Monkey Girl

Friday, April 25th, 2008

With the exception of the Olsen twins when they were younger, Bindi Irwin is possibly the most ‘monkey-like’ child in existence.

Then again… if my job was to play with animals all day, I’d probably wanna look like a monkey as well.

At least they’ll accept her as one of their own :-)

UFC star Tito Ortiz has a head like a Gorilla.

Tito Ortiz has a head like a Gorilla

I’ve seen a few online postings that speculate this may be a side effect of human growth hormone - but who knows.

Look at the size difference between his head and that of his girlfriend’s (porn star Jenna Jameson):

That's one huge head!
