Nubret looked amazing from every angle - even when seemingly in a ‘relaxed’ pose. In 2003, Serge offered a stunning last show to his public during the World championships in France (Gravelines) at 65 years of age! Additionally to being recognised by experts, peers and fans as a reference in the bodybuilding field, Serge Nubret has also dedicated himself to the development and promotion of Bodybuilding. He became the head of the France and Europe IFBB Bodybuilding Federation from 1970 to 1975. He is also the founder of WABBA since 1976 with one objective in mind: ensuring that affiliated athletes receive the best support via representing organisations. The cinema could not miss out on such a character. Thus, Serge NUBRET featured in 25 movies including the following major hits: - The Titans (1961)
- César et Rosalie (1972)
- Le Professionnel (1981)
Serge remains one of the most significant figure and for lots of bodybuilders, he represents the out-of-the-box aesthetic reference. His legacy is well alive, witnessing the Golden Age of bodybuilding when balance and harmony were keys to all achievements. In the 1980s, Serge appeared regularly in 60 episodes of the television series Breakfast Included, in which he played the role of bodybuilder/gym owner in Paris, a role that mirrors his own biography. At last, he appeared in the documentary film Pumping Iron, a documentary that follows the events occurring before the Mr. Olympia 1975 - the preparation for the competition as well as its final phase. For contractual reasons, his part is comparatively brief; certain scenes concerning him could not be put in the movie. But these episodes are discussed further in his book, I am…Me and God. |
