Tom “Huck” Finn’s response to those who call him dangerous: “I’m Tom Finn and you’re not.”
Tom “Huck” Finn is a viral bodybuilding personality – or perhaps a better word is a bodybuilder stuntman. He is known for his loud personality, his love of drinking and lifting at the same time, and for his absolutely insane and dangerous stunts. If you’ve never heard of or seen his videos before. You’re in for a treat today. In our latest GI Exclusive interview, Huck Finn goes into detail about the most drunken and insane stunts he’s ever performed for the camera.
If any of the readers out there remember when the MTV show Jackass was a cultural force on television – you’ll have a good grasp on Huck Finn’s personality. The twist? All of his viral stunts have a strength and bodybuilding slant to them. But we’re not talking about your usual Instagram stunts. These are hardcore and very dangerous maneuvers. Copious amounts of alcohol mixed with heavy iron, fire, explosions, and slamming into large objects (or vice versa). For a taste, just check out one of his videos below:
When we had an opportunity to do a video interview with Huck Finn, we wanted to dive deep into the realities of his dangerous stunts. Including how often he’s been injured, the worse injury he’s ever received from a stunt, and how drunk he actually is while performing said stunts. Most importantly, we asked him to tell us the most life-threatening stunt he’d ever recorded.
Huck Finn has been doing ridiculous stunts ever since he was a teen – there was just no internet to film and publish online back then. So when he was looking for a way to make a splash as a strength athlete on the web, he turned to what he’s always done – insane stunts.
But Finn admits that he amps it up to 11 for the videos. He’s often not actually drunk when he records and performs the stunts (though he does drink 20-30 beers on the weekends). Surprisingly, he’s rarely hung over for a workout and keeps to a strict diet throughout the week in order to maintain his size.
But the stunts themselves are very real. Finn has been injured multiple times before. It’s all a part of the risk and the thrill. He knows his limits and he knows he can handle an occasional injury – so it’s just part of the job.
So what’s Huck Finn’s most dangerous stunt ever performed? Well, he once tried to be lit on fire form head to toe (that never ended up happening). The most insane stunt he did actually do – is ramming straight on into a Red Bull vending machine. He completely shattered and crushed it – then was promptly removed from the warehouse.
