Many of us have grown up watching animated characters and have always wanted to meet them. Carrying the same curiosity as to how would they look in real life, we were taken to Disney land or amusement parks where there were people wearing props like those characters. They were really good at their jobs and almost made us believe that the actual Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck was standing in front of us. Although, it was never true because they never existed.

We realised this as we grew up and had accepted the fact that the animated characters can never become a reality. But, what if, today I tell you there exists a Hulk or Hercules in the real world and is a resident of Iran. As surprising as it sounds to you, I was also astounded after reading about him. Later I had to believe because this man who has earned the name of Hulk is for real and now that you want to know all about it then how can I leave you with only that much of information?

No diet or advice

It is a general trend followed by people involved in the world of bodybuilding that they often make posts related to the diet they follow or the ways people can build a body like them. The man compared to the fictional superhero does not believe in following this trend as he instead posts pictures with his massive build, but it's not just that.

Most bodybuilders only dream

Where thousands of people go to the gyms daily and want to have such a physique to flaunt, the 'Iranian Hulk' revealed that he wants to join the forces against ISIS and be a soldier. Not all are impressed because some call him a 'beast'.

While some aspire to develop a body like that, others also get scared because of the heavy build. It also appears that he has a very small neck, but that's because a hunch is there on his back due to the back and shoulder muscles protruding. 

Friends and family say differently

A body like that has nothing to do with a person being nice or rude. His family believes that he is a really very sweet and kind hearted guy.

Some hashtags 

#strongman #strongbody #big #mucsles and #powerful are the hashtags the Persian Hercules uses with his shirtless posts to amaze all of his followers.
