Hulk Hogan recently participated in an interview with Fox & Friends. However, fans quickly took to social media to express concern for his health.

Fox & Friends interviewed the WWE superstar on Thursday, May 1. He discussed his new venture, Real American Freestyle Wrestling, during the talk. The event's premier is scheduled for later this year in Cleveland on August 30. Per the Daily Mail, the events will feature single matches at eight men's and four women's weight classes.
At first glance, Hogan, who is 71, looks pretty normal and is sporting his trademark ensemble, complete with the red bandana and shades on top. He's also wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan "America first, beer second." A white stash is certainly a bold choice against much darker facial hair, but it's nothing we've not seen from Hollywood Hogan in the past.
Still, it didn't take long for viewers to take to social media, and much of the talk had nothing to do with Real American Freestyle Wrestling.
@Country17Bumpkn straight up asks, "Does anyone believe this is Hulk Hogan? One comment from @sjones2335 on a clip from the Fox & Friends interview asks, "What in the fresh hell is going on with his face?." Another from @ConnieC17173435 says, "Hulk is unrecognizable! OZEMPIC face, bad self-tanner, mix match beard and hair color, and crazy eyes! WTAF???"
Hogan's dyed beard seems to be a sticking point, too. @Justpeachy10101 writes, "Yikes! Just saw a clip of Hulk Hogan and I thought it was a parody. What's up with that dark beard?" @NormaGeiman responded "Saw that too this morning. His eyes looked rough, too."
Hulk Hogan's Appearance Divides The Internet
While there are dozens of negative comments, many others leap to the wrestler's defense. @FeltFootball says, "The Hulkster can do what he wants. BTW...He looks better at 70 than the negative commenters do in their 30s." Another by @Apologetics941 reads, "I'll give Hulk the benefit of the doubt. The dude is 70 years old (71 actually)."
I've seen the interview myself, and Hulk Hogan looks a much more normal color on my screen than some of the screenshots I've seen. Either way, the WWE star probably wishes the focus was on the event in August.
