I grew up in a big Irish, Catholic family. My dad was a pretty rou

I grew up in a big Irish, Catholic family. My dad was a pretty rough guy. So one of my brothers left home when he was 15 and found his way to the gym. It gave me the opportunity to go and spend some time with him and work out in the gym. – Gerry Cooney
