Photo Only: Big Bob Shirts
Go Figure
His name is Robert Paulson, his name is Robert Paulson…
The Dixxon Flannel Company has brought out shirts based on the one Michael Lee Aday wore as Big Bob. A nice echo twenty-five years down the road.
I still wonder about the fat suit Meat Loaf wore in the role. David Fincher tried to give it to Planet Hollywood, but it was too saturated with sweat to display. Very pungent. Fincher tells a funny story about 20th Century Fox executive Laura Ziskin seeing the dailies of the film and shouting, “I did NOT approve those nipples!” It seems that large nipples on a man are forbidden. Sigh.
Big thanks to my family in Idaho who sent this to me.
Does it come with the imprint of a crying face on it?
Meatloaf once came through a small convention out where I used to live, and I was the only person in line for his booth, so I got to spend a good while talking to him. He said the chest was made of flax seed and they had to keep an open chair close to the set so he could sit down throughout filming because of how heavy it was. He said he had a lot of empathy for large chested women after the experience
