Hollywood has never been short on scandal — but few revelations hit as hard as those that come straight from the stars themselves.
And now, decades after her reign as one of cinema’s most iconic leading ladies, Ingrid Bergman’s memoir is setting the record straight — and setting the internet on fire.
Among the many confessions, one quote in particular has gone viral: “He was MASSIVE.”
Those four words — dropped casually in the middle of a chapter — have reignited fascination with Bergman’s private life, stirring up a fresh wave of speculation, admiration, and classic Hollywood curiosity.
Originally published as “Ingrid Bergman: My Story”, the memoir was co-written with famed biographer Alan Burgess and offers an unfiltered look at the actress’s career, controversies, and relationships — including her headline-grabbing affair with Italian director Roberto Rossellini.
But the internet is only just catching up. With recent digital re-releases and audiobook editions, a whole new generation is discovering the memoir’s raw honesty — and clinging to every juicy detail.
So, who was “massive”? While Bergman never explicitly names the subject in that particular quote, fans have theories.
Speculation swirls around:
Cary Grant, her Notorious co-star, known for his dashing charm and strong off-screen chemistry with Bergman.
Gregory Peck, with whom she starred in Spellbound, and who once admitted they had a brief romance during filming.
And of course, Roberto Rossellini, the legendary director who changed her life — and reputation — forever.
While the context suggests admiration for the man’s presence — as in charisma, intellect, or impact — the ambiguous phrasing has sent fans (and meme-makers) into a frenzy.
The attention-grabbing quote is just one example of Bergman’s fearless tone throughout the book.
Long before today’s tell-all culture, she laid bare her life with unapologetic honesty — including her exile from Hollywood after the Rossellini affair, her battles with the press, and her fight to balance motherhood with a groundbreaking career.
“I was the shyest show-off you ever met,” she writes — a contradiction that captures the tension many actresses of her era endured.
In revealing both her mistakes and triumphs, Bergman helped rewrite the rules for how women in the spotlight tell their stories.
