The old fashioned virile man has been prominantly featured in the movies lately. These are manly men folks, not the girly men that were popular for so long. Some are heroic figuresothers, purely evil. This trend has apparently inspired at least one old dude. Take a look at this story ot of Maine about a very senior stud:
The 91-year-old has laid down a challenge to box fitness guru Jack LaLanne, who’s 92. Fortin, former “cut man” for retired boxing champ Joey Gamache, said the idea for the four-round bout was hatched at the Tropical Gym in Pompano Beach, where Fortin works out during the winter in Florida.
“That’s not quite his cup of tea,” Liz Cardenas said Wednesday from California. Besides, she said, LaLanne is too busy traveling for public appearances, and he no longer performs athletic feats”
Fortindoesn’t think either man would get hurt in a brief square-off. “He’d knock me down, I’d knock him down,” he said.
Sounds a little like Fight Club to mebut it’s all in good fun, Im sure!
