Bob Paris was the 1983 NPC American National and IFBB World Bodybuilding Champion, Mr. Universe.
In the July 1989 issue of Ironman, Paris came out in the media as a gay man. More than twenthy years later it may be hard for people today to understand what a heroic act this was.
ANYBODY KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING THESE DAYS? I WONDER IF HE’S IMPROVED W/AGE? ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE PRETTY HARD TO #$@! THOSE LOOKS UP.
I know he is gay, but Gay Mr Olympia is misleading
That sounds like a compition for Gays only
He was Mr Olympia period in a allover world wide bodybuilder competition
bob paris great body great bodybuilder
Bob Paris is the most perfectly developed and proportioned bodybuilder since Steve Reeves. His posing routines were works of art. His body is the male ideal; it is classically beautiful, and his musculature is simply awesome. The man is truly a demi-god, and he’s gay, thank God. He will live in bodybuilding history forever. We should all thank him for inspiring us to be the best that we can be.
