Hulk star Lou Ferrigno, who was training Michael Jackson for his farewell tour, has spoken about his private training sessions with the King of Pop — and insisted: “I’d never seen him look better.”

He adds: “When he moved he convinced me that he was going to make the biggest come back in history.

“He was great. I trained him on and off for 15 years and when I saw him a few months ago, the way he moved – I’d never seen him look better.”

Lou insisted Jacko, who is said to have been taking “mountains of medication” in the lead up to his death and weighed a “severely emaciated” 8st 1oz, “never” said anything about being in pain.

He added: “As a matter of fact sometimes he would be dancing, showing me the moves, between the sets, our exercising, and he convinced me, I said, ‘This guy can pull it off’.

“When I saw him he was not frail.”

Lou said his last training session with Jackson was at the end of May.
