  • Its John Henry! Not John Henty!

  • Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have corrected.

  • Why did they decide to cast an actor with a beer gut to play John Henry? Every interpretation I've ever seen of him thus far depicts him as being lean and muscular.

  • He also discovered an element (Cashium), and circumnavigated the earth twice in a bicycle operated flying machine that he crafted out of old cigar boxes.

  • @leekenobi21 just because it's more realistic?

  • @leekenobi21 Perhaps because that's what working men look like, instead of people who work out in their spare time just for looks?

  • Where's the sound of my hammer?

  • @XxpandaskaterxX actually it differs from the time of the year..beacuse of the food...miners usualy were all lean muscular and strong even if they were skinny LOOK UP PAKISTAN MINERS IN THESE DAYS they carry up to 50 tons of coal in one day one bag is about 100kg and there is no problem....for them ;) heart is more than gym . GOD BLESS ! PEACE!

  • @leekenobi21 i have to say that if u do that job for a long time it would not work your stomach much..just your uper body..therefore he would not really have abs ..but maybe im wrong but thats just my thought

  • AW.....

    

  • Yeeeeaahhh I'm not understanding the gut on this guy. Nor am I understanding why his "hammer" looks like a push broom lol

  • Classic video...very nice.

  • @leekenobi21 True, but people did drink a LOT in those days so it's not impossible he had the gut to show for it.

  • Im John henry!!!......the third
