Givanildo Vieira de Souza (born 25 July 1986 in Campina Grande), commonly known as Hulk, is a international Brazilian footballer who currently plays as a striker for Portuguese Liga champions, Porto.
As his nickname suggests, Hulk's strength and stocky build are considered his foremost attributes, along with speed, acceleration, and a powerful shot. He received the nickname "Hulk" due to his resemblance to actor Lou Ferrigno, who played the comic book hero. In an interview to a newspaper, he further said that his favorite comic book character as a child was Hulk, hence the nickname given by his mother at a young age
