Meet Action Bronson’s Legendary (In His Own Mind) Alter Ego, Big Body Bes

You know what happens when we don't put forth the proper effort reporting? We make assumptions. That's how our emeritus editor Vince Thomas went on a fanboy ode to Big Body Bes in an edition of Please Jam…all while assuming Big Body was Action Bronson's alter ego. Expert job, V.

Body, however, is actually Bronson's cousin. This, however, makes the audacity, wit and sheer madness of his empty swaggering no less entertaining. In some ways, it adds to Body's growing legend.

Recently, Body accompanied well-noted foodie Bronson on a trip to Marea (an upscale seafood restaurant on the southwestern tip of Central Park) to eat what looked like the meal of a lifetime for Body, hence leading to this exchange between the two while eating scallops…

Bronson: Taste like gold bars.

Body: Yeah, I f*cks with scallops. I'm into all that seafood. But, I'm also big on the fish spot. You can catch on Broadway at a random fish spot. Good ol' fish sandwich on wheat bread. Hot sauce. Ya'know…

Bronson: We're asking you about scallops…
