Oscar and his Primo Carnera-esque nose
Primo Carnera (1906-1967) was an Italian boxer who held the World Heavyweight Champion title from 1933 to 1934. He was later a wrestler and occasional actor, with parts in Mighty Joe Young (as himself, one of several famous strongmen playing tug of war with the giant gorilla) and several Italian films. His imposing physique was widely known and led to comedic references in the stories of P. G. Wodehouse.
