Eddie Hall and Kaleb Cooper shared plenty of laughs during a visit to Clarkson’s Farm.
Cooper introduced Hall to a large pig, prompting him to compare the animal’s size to his own during his days as one of the world’s heaviest Strongmen.
Cooper wasted no time in teasing Hall as they looked at the pig, joking: “To be fair, Eddie, if you get on all fours, you would look like that pig. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing.”
Hall immediately fired back with a joke of his own, replying: “Very disrespectful to the pig.”
The exchange left both men laughing before Hall admitted he has a soft spot for the animals.
“I love pigs,” he said.
As they continued watching the pig, Hall asked whether it was aggressive to which Cooper said she wasn’t.
Before adding: “Yeah, she’s really strong.”
Cooper explained that people often underestimate just how powerful pigs are until they see one up close.
“You don’t know how strong they are,” he said.
He went on to point out the animal’s muscular build, saying: “Well, they’re all muscle.”
The pig then began rubbing itself against the enclosure, leading Cooper to explain exactly what it was doing.
“She wants to scratch her back. Scratch her back if she wants,” he said.
Curious about its size, Hall asked how much the pig weighed.
“Should be about 200kg,” Cooper replied.
That figure immediately reminded Hall of his own heaviest competitive weight.
“Yeah, that’s how big I was at my biggest. 200kg,” he said.
With the comparisons between Hall and the pig continuing, Cooper couldn’t resist pushing the joke even further.
“But honestly, if you went on all fours in there, do I reckon you should do it? We’ll do it,” he said.
Hall was encouraged to climb into the pen. Still laughing, Cooper doubled down on the idea.
“No, no, no. You get on all fours, I guarantee you look the same. Take your hat off, though. Go on, do it.”
Hall refused to take the bait at first.
“There’s not a chance in hell I’m going to publicly embarrass myself by getting on all fours in a pigsty,” he said.
But after a brief pause, his resolve appeared to weaken as he added with a grin: “But 20 quid is 20 quid.”
The remark sparked another round of laughter between the pair as the playful back-and-forth continued.
The visit ended on a wholesome note after Hall appeared to bond with the pig, smiling as he reflected on the encounter.
“Like I made a friend,” he said.
