Real Reason Arnold Schwarzenegger Kept Smiling Despite Working Out 5 Hours a Day Will Make You Hit the Gym Instantly

One of the modern day’s most inspiring stories was born in Austria into the Schwarzenegger family of Thal. From half a world away, in 1947, the cries that Arnold Schwarzenegger would bellow out into the air would find an echo 21 years later when he moved to the US in October 1968. By then, the young man had already become a legend in the professional bodybuilding circuit around the globe, winning the Mr. Universe title twice (in 1967 and ’68). And the passion which drove him to seek out the industry of fame and renown in Hollywood was also preceded by the Mr. Olympia title that was accorded to him seven times since the age of 23.
As such, the bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician had much to show for himself by the time he was barely in his early 20s. And such accomplishments in life are not born out of luck but grit and perseverance.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Life as a Bodybuilder
While still a young boy, Arnold Schwarzenegger found interest and enthusiasm in sports, especially football. But as the story goes, it was his visit to the gym, accompanied by his football coach in 1960, that soon found him choosing bodybuilding over football as a professional career at the age of 14. The years after that were a haze of hours-long training and endless lifting to gain the physique that he would later become so famous for.
In an interview that Schwarzenegger sat for much later in life, the Governator admitted how he manifested his vision from a childhood dream into a reality:
 “This is why I always smiled when I was in the gym. People always came up to me and said, “Why are you smiling? You’re working out 5 hours a day. You’re doing the same as the other guys, but the other guys have a sour face, they’re pi**ed off that they have to do another rep.” I looked forward to another 500 pounds of squat. I looked forward to doing more and more curls until my arms [would] fall off. Why? Because I knew that every rep that I did and every set that I did and more weights that I lifted, I get one step closer to turning that vision into reality.”

Schwarzenegger’s devotion was what ultimately paved his path to winning that Mr. Olympia title and becoming a legend in his own time, surpassing even his childhood idols who he once deified while growing up in Austria. The actor now has an esteemed bodybuilding contest named after him: the Arnold Sports Festival, which is considered second in importance only to the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding event.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first publicly recognized win was the Junior Mr. Europe contest at age 18. The following year, he gained worldwide attention by nabbing the title of Mr. Europe in 1966. However, at the young age of 16, a mere couple of years after his enthusiasm for bodybuilding took hold over him, Schwarzenegger entered his first professional competition in ’63. In the span of a few years, he would not only go on to take part in weightlifting and powerlifting contests but win almost every time too.
In 1967, he became the youngest winner of the Mr. Universe title – a win he secured a total of four times. Schwarzenegger also went on to win the Mr. Olympia title a record 7 times, a rank he would hold for almost two decades until Lee Haney’s 8th consecutive win in 1991.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
