pinup Lupus was one of the first well-known male actors to pose with full frontal nudity for Playgirl magazine, in April 1974. Photographs of Lupus appeared in a number of issues. Before this, he was hired by the United States Air Force to appear in a series of commercials playing the role of Superman (with the permission of what is now DC Comics). He appeared for many months until the Playgirl pictorial was published. Present day On July 19, 2007, at age 75, Lupus set a world weightlifting endurance record by lifting over the course of 24 minutes, 50 seconds at the Spectrum Club in El Segundo, California. This topped the record Lupus set five years earlier in celebration of his 70th birthday of in 27 minutes. Lupus was a member of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's volunteer posse in Maricopa County, Arizona.
