Joseph Bonomo (December 25, 1901 – March 28, 1978) was a famous American weight lifter, strongman, film stunt performer and actor.

Biography

Bonomo was born to Esther and Albert Bonomo, Sephardic Jewish immigrants from Smyrna, Turkey.[1] His mother emigrated to the United States in 1890 or 1893 and his father in 1894; both lived for time in France before sailing to their respective emigrations. As a child Bonomo built himself into a strongman winning the "Mr Modern Apollo" contest of 1921 where the prizes included a ten-week movie contract.[2]

He began as a stunt double soon doubling for Lon Chaney in The Hunchback of Notre Dame then playing a variety of roles. He lost the role of Tarzan in Tarzan the Mighty when he injured himself before shooting,.[3]

When sound came, Bonomo's strong Brooklyn accent precluded him from most film roles but he reportedly retained his fame in magazine adverts offering bodybuilding by mail order.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}}

Bonomo took interest in dieting. In 1951, he authored Calorie Counter and Control Guide and it sold 17 million copies.[4]
