4. Jack Palance’s One-Armed Push-Ups
When 72-year-old Jack Palance accepted his Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for 1991’s City Slickers (a serviceable Billy Crystal comedy), he was annoyed about people thinking his advancing age made him less capable physically. By way of expressing his strength and durability, he dropped to the ground and ripped out three one-armed push ups, no problem. Then he took the podium again and explained, “That’s nothing, really. As far as the two-handed push-ups are concerned, you can do that all night and it doesn’t make any difference whether she’s there or not. And besides, it’s a hell of a lot less expensive.” Way to go, Jack.
