1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Your voice has been the most imitative voice of all time. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of a comedian when he did 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: your voice? Did he blow you away? Or my other question, 4 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: has someone pissed you off by redoing your voice? 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: No? As a matter of fact, I tell you it 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 2: was like really a wonderful thing. When they're so Hans 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 2: in France coming in on Saturday Night Live and they 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: said that my cousins. He says, you know, we are 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 2: Uncle Arnold's cousins and we are here to pump you 10 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 2: up and routine going. And I said to myself, oh, 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: this is so exaggerated my accent with those guys, because 12 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: they really meant that at the top. But that's what 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: made it funny. And I think that that was actually 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 2: interesting enough. This was kind of like a changing point 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: in America when people just started accepting the idea of 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: a German accent, because I remember in the beginning in 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: the seventies, people always were talking about it. Your accent 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: for us is scary because you have this Germanic accent, 19 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: you know, and it doesn't bode well in America, you know, 20 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: especially you know, after we have Council the Second World 21 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: War and the Nazis in order, so I say, it 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 2: was like they were scared of fit. But then I said, 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: I said, okay, in order for people to really get 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: accustomed to it and you get used to it, I 25 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: have to just do thousands of interviews. And so I 26 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: went around from radio station to radio station. I'm talking 27 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: about local stations they did never even heard of, and 28 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: I would just talk about party building, and I would 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: talking about how I want to get into acting, and 30 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: how I want to be a businessman, how I want 31 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 2: to make millions of dollars in real estate and order. 32 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 2: And I just kept talking, talking and talking, and the 33 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: people kind of got used to it. And then all 34 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: of a sudden, you know, Hans in France came about, 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: and they started talking about you know, I'll look at you, 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: look at you with your little flopper lunch. Oh year, 37 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna put on my little finger and flip this 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: through the air so you land in your own baby poop. 39 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: So this was like kind of filbroutine, right, and so 40 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: the people loved it. And then I wrote to those 41 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: guys and said, look, I love what you're doing. And 42 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: then they invited me to come on the show on 43 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: Saturday than That Live, and then then they did the 44 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 2: stick with them where office that Anna did show up 45 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: and is now kind of inspecting that the work that 46 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: they're doing because they basically said, well, while we are 47 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: trying to find aunt Lenald, we are going around and 48 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: we're going to pump everybody up. And so I was 49 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 2: inspecting on Saturday and that life their progress and how 50 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: well they're doing a orse. So I think it legitimates 51 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: the idea of the accent, and now people love it. 52 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 2: I wouldn't even change it even if I could, because 53 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: people really love it, and it makes me kind of unique. 54 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: You know. It's like, you know, you're unique because you're 55 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: a big, big guy, and you have a certain personality 56 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: and a certain look. There's no one else that looks 57 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: like you, and I'm unique because you know the way 58 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: I look and then my accent. So it's kind of 59 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: like your carver a niche ob for yourself. 60 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: Yes, we both dominated our sports. But my question is 61 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: how do you mentally prepare yourself to take over Hollywood? 62 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: Because you definitely took over Hollywood. I'm a fan of yours. 63 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: Otherwise fan of yours, You've always done great movies. How 64 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: do you mentally make that switch and say okay, no 65 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: more bodybuilding. Hollywood belongs to me. Now. 66 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 2: Well, it was the same thing as what I did 67 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: in bodybuilding, you know, I was bodybuilding. I said that 68 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 2: I had a very clear vision of how I'm going 69 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: to win mister Universe, and I wanted to look exactly 70 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: like ch Park and Steve Reeves and those guys that 71 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: did Hercules movies. And I got obsessed with that, and 72 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: that just chased that vision and that went all out, 73 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: and of course everyone said no, it can't be done, 74 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: and it's impossible and just stupid and why do you 75 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: try to do that? You know, the usual things. Whenever 76 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: you try to do something unusual, people always say, this 77 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: is not going to happen. It's not going to broken orders, 78 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: the naysayers. So I learned how to turn off and 79 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: not listen to the naysayers, and the same I didn't Hollywood, 80 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: because remember when I came into Hollywood and I said, Okay, 81 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 2: I want to stop competing in bodybuilding and I want 82 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 2: to get into movies. They said, Donold. You know, agent 83 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 2: would say, this is I love you, Arnold, I think 84 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: it's great. I would help you open up a help 85 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 2: food store or whatever you want to do. But the 86 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: acting stuff, I think it's going to be very, very difficult. 87 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 2: As a mathact I would say almost impossible. I said, 88 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: because you know, you have this accent, and you have 89 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: a name that no one can pronounce, and then you 90 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: have this physique, I mean great physique, to be the 91 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: greatest bodybuilding of all times. It looks fantastic. Two hundred 92 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: and fifty pounds is this, But look at the actors today. 93 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: This is the seventies. There's not the sixties where they 94 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: made Hercules movies. The seventies is like Dustin Hoffmann, it 95 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: was one hundred and forty pounds. Al Pacino maybe it's 96 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty pounds. Woody Allen maybe one hundred 97 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: and thirty pounds. Said O, little guys, this is the 98 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: new stars. Those are the new heroes on the screen. 99 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: So forget about it. So so I of course didn't 100 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 2: take no fun answer. And they said it was, well, 101 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 2: somehow I'm going to do it. And I started working 102 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: on it instead of acting lessons and you know, and 103 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: you know, stunt lessons like I said, and accidental remove 104 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: a lesson and all of these kind of things. And 105 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: they said, working, working, working on it, and eventually and 106 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: they started happening. I remember get this phone call from 107 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: Lucy o Ball. You know that I love Lucy from 108 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: the Joe and Lucy Paul called me the Gorg's gym 109 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: and she says, Arnold, I saw you on a MERV 110 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: Griffin show and you were so funny. I want to 111 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 2: have you on my show. Happy anniversary and goodbye. I'm 112 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: doing it with Art Connie, who just won the Academy 113 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: of What at this time, and he's a fantastic actor, 114 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 2: and I have all kinds of other great actors in there. 115 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: We have a great director, and I'm producing this whole 116 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 2: thing with my husband, and we want you to be 117 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 2: in this show. And so she gave me a break, 118 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 2: and so I was in the show. It was a 119 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: seven minute scene that it did her. And then after 120 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 2: that I got the other phone calls, and then all 121 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 2: of a sudden, I did the you know, Stay Hungry 122 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 2: with the Jeff Bridges in salid Fields, and then they 123 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 2: did Students of San Francisco and the chain Mansfield story. 124 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: We have the Mick Hagidet and then I was a 125 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: sudden Conan the Barbarian, and all of a sudden we 126 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: were back again to the Hercules movies.
