Arnold Schwarzenegger Biography - The Real Muscle is His Brain

He created a body that was to become the gold standard for muscular development. He would use it achieve one goal after another, rising to the very pinnacle of, not one, but three careers. Yet, from the very start Arnold Schwarzenegger had the odds stacked against him... He was dismissed, ridiculed and parodied mercilessly. What people failed to realize was that Arnold’s strongest muscle was, not his bicep, but his brain. With it he orchestrated career moves that took him to the very top.

Bill Burr said it best “How many lifetimes would it take you to achieve what Arnold has done?”
Become world famous for working out
Move to America and learn English
Become one of the biggest film stars of all times
Marry what is essentially American political royalty
And to top it off become the governor of one of the more important US states...Legend

[ReasonsWhy]

1) Long name
2) Strange Accent
3) Unusual build

Literally 3 of Arnold's most iconic traits.

His life summed up

World: Arnold you can't do that.

Arnold: I will do it.

[MBell]

It's very rare to find a person with as much foresight as Schwarzenegger. The guy planned each of his next big moves years before he made them. Brilliant man, brilliant bio. Thanks Simon.

Arnold may be a jerk in a number of ways, but with the Special Olympics, he's a wonderful man. I know a young lady from the United States who earned a place on the U.S. team to go to the Special Olympics Winter Games in Austria in 2017, where she received a silver medal in skiing. She met Arnold, and he was very gracious to her and all the other athletes. He signed endless autographs, and posed for countless pictures.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: The celebrity who actually works to improve the world instead of crying about how other people should do it.

[crocopie]

There is a misconception that Arnold is a birdbrain with huge muscles. This video proves that he is indeed extremely smart, determined, and crafty.

[helterskelterevery]

I can say this about the “governator”- he signed my college diploma. My one and only celebrity signature 😂

[ballstreet]

The man who succeeded in every endeavor he set out to accomplish, reaching the pinnacle in bodybuilding, acting and politics (for a foreigner who cannot become a president). He is an ideal example of the American Dream and a modern day Renaissance Man. Legendary life, legendary man.

Like Bill Burr said: "Go to a foreign country, learn the language, become famous for lifting weights, become a movie star despite no one being able to understand you and become the biggest box office star in history, marry into their royalty and hold public office. Do you have any idea how many lifetimes that would take?"

Arnold managed to do all of this in just 35 years.

Arnold, he entered the Austrian army in 1965 in order to fulfil his one year of service. By now he had built his body to 200 pounds of Herculian muscle, he was assigned as a TANK.

I'm enjoying this new channel of yours mate. And keep up the great work.

[intzbk]

You didn't talk about the Arnold / Sly animosity during the 80's. They eventually became good friends.

[biffman]

As a Californian, I remember when you could go the the capital and buy "Governator" Merchandise while he was the governor. Absolute legend.

[ItzRetz]

He's 70 and still looks that good, I hope I'm still that fit when I'm older

[DMguy-dixv]

3:06 Petty sure that Arnolds Parents thought he was gay. 🤐

[thanksfernuthin]

I loved "Last Action Hero". I thought it was a lot of fun.

[TheUserid]

The roll of Terminator was not created for him as they originally wanted a retired football star to play the part but decided no one would believe he was an unstoppable killing machine. Who was that football player? O.J. Simpson.

The part they originally wanted Schwarzenegger for was the part of Kyle Reese so he would of been Johns father.

Kind of sad one of his best known rolls said less then 100 words in the first movie.
