FRANCO COLUMBU BIOFrancesco Columbu (born in Ollolai, Sardinia, August 7, 1941) is an Italian actor, author, former champion bodybuilder and World'sStrongest Man competitor.Columbu was born in Ollolai, Sardinia (Italy). Starting hisathletic career as a boxer, Columbu progressed into Olympic Weightlifting, powerlifting, and later bodybuilding, winning the title of Mr. Olympia in 1976and 1981. At 5'4", though shorter than most of his competitors, his heightdid not prevent him from achieving widespread success.In 1977, Columbu competed in the first World's Strongest Mancompetition, placing fifth in overall points; a remarkable outing, consideringFranco weighed much less than the other competitors. He was forced to drop fromcompetition due to an injury. While leading the "refrigerator race", a downhill race while wearing a heavy, unwieldy refrigerator strapped to theracer's back, Franco stumbled and collapsed with a grotesquely dislocated leg, and aired on national television. After a court settlement, he received areported $1 million in compensation for his injury. After ArnoldSchwarzenegger's comeback victory in the 1980 Mr. Olympia, Franco followed suitand won the 1981 Mr. Olympia.Columbu is a longtime friend of Schwarzenegger, [6] whom hemet in Stuttgart in 1965 and against whom he competed in severalinternational-level bodybuilding competitions. For the Mr. Olympia competitionshowever, he competed in the under-200 lb (90.7 kg) category, whereasSchwarzenegger was in the over-200 lb category. The IFBB has since abandonedweight classes. Arnold and Franco were inseparable friends and training partnersduring the late 60s to mid-1970s. Columbu served as Schwarzenegger's best manat his wedding to Maria Shriver in 1986. Columbu and Schwarzenegger had beenencouraged to come to America by bodybuilding guru Joe Weider in 1969; Weidersponsored them with an $80/week stipend. They arrived in America and began abricklaying and patio business called European Brick Works in 1969.Since 1969, Franco Columbu was considered one of the world'sstrongest men. He held a number of powerlifting world records. He performed astrongman act of breaking a hot water bottle by inflating it orally, liftingvehicles onstage while another performer changed a tire, and deadlifted over320 kg (700 lbs).He designed a comprehensive men's workout in 1988 to flattenthe stomach, narrow the waist, and eliminate love handles.[9] As a chiropractorand a weightlifter, his career parallels Karyn Marshall using chiropractictherapy to train for competitions.His TV appearances include The Streets of San Francisco(1977), and Dead Lift with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and TV commercials, mostnotably Vitalis ("the pump"). In the Arnold Schwarzenegger film LastAction Hero, the words "A Franco Columbu film" appear on the screenat the beginning of Jack Slater IV (a film within the film) as a tribute toColumbu.
