This segment reminds me of the story about Arnold meeting Mark Hamill in the 70's and asking for advice. Mark's response was "Change your name and lose the accent." it's why Mark says he never gives career advice anymore.
😅
Tbf it never worked out for the 99 percent of the other Europeans with accents
Mark Hamill is my favorite tragic character in real life hahaha
@@hopegaming867 Lot of europeans actors kept their accents. Nowdays its pretty much the selling point of actors for example christoph waltz wouldnt feel the same if he just spoke in forced american accent.
Luke soywalker and the fall of the SJW’s
Rob Lowe is a natural. I never thought of how great he'd be as a host but he's so attentive and allows his subject time to fill out their story. Arnie, as always, is great to hear tell his story.
My favorite cameo in any Arnie movie - is Last Action Hero where Stallone is The Terminator
Yea, many tv and radio hosts (Stern, James Cordon, I could go on and on), should watch this interview for lessons. (Of course not every guest is Arnie who knows how to tell a story)
I know, and does RL age? He looks exactly the same as he did in Tommy Boy!
Rob is a great listener, I could listen Arnold all day long
That is exactly what I was thinking as I watched this! Rob doesn't seem distracted or uninterested. He makes the guest feel like they can open up passionately about their interests with patience. Magnificent.
Who’s Arnold??
I have known the sound of this voice my whole life. Arnold, James Earl Jones, Kevin Conroy, Wallace Shawn, Luis Guzman... so many wonderfully distinct voices for so many unforgettable characters.
Never thought I would see Rob Lowe and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the same room. Two different paths. Great!👍
They are very good friends and have been for many years.
I’m grateful that Arnold never gave up. He said he would make it in showbiz regardless of his accent. And by doing so, he gave us the number 1 holiday classic JINGLE ALL THE WAY!!! 🔥🔥🔥
PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN!!
Just to end up being a meme and beloved because of his accent.
His accent is definitive, and part of his fame
@@jtgd and make millions while doing it! Respect! Love Arnold. Always have, always will
@@SeenGod IT’S NOT A TUMOR!
Jingle all the way is an absolute guilty pleasure and I don't feel guilty about it at all, not one bit!
The pig in the background is everything.
YES!!!! It's likely filmed at his house
It’s Schnelly, Arnold’s pet pig 😊
The pig casually walking around in the back is pure gold.
Yo! Whose pig is this?!
I believe that’s Arnold’s pet pig Schnelly! 😂
@8ojack good on ye...good pig...fine pig I'd say 🤙
Also the wagging of the happy little tail got me!
I just couldn't love something that tastes that good
OK, time to hire Rob Lowe full time to comprehensively do all podcast interviews regarding the history of Hollywood of the last 45 years. That was Terrific.
Hire? I don’t think you understand how podcasts work. No one hires you. You just do them. If you’re good at it and have interesting guests people will tune in and watch. Especially if you’re watchable like Rob and know everyone in Hollywood.
Charles Bronson was one of the first leading men that got absolutely jacked. He was yoked at age 50.
He was a legit badass, I believe he was like a coal miner or something hardcore like that before becoming a movie star
@@JesotericHe grew up mining coal in Pennsylvania, and then he joined the military and he fought in WWII
Charles was tough
Agreed Bronson a legit tough guy WW-2 B29 tailgunner 25 missions purple heart takes a lot of balls to be a tailgunner and come back in one piece
First guy I thought of when I saw the video title.
I love how after 45 years we're finally getting to hear from Arnold that he had the same insecurities and hopes we all do...just wrapped up in elite confidence and work-ethic. He was a young guy hoping it all worked out and recognizing his big breaks.
Rob has really taken care of himself, he looks great. Same for Arnold, he’s looking great for pushing almost 80. It’s hard to see one of my childhood hero’s getting old but glad he’s still out here entertaining us.
I thought you were exaggerating about almost 80 … nope. Holy Moses. 😮 wow.
being rich helps. Not saying they don t particularly take care of themselves, but it does make a difference
@unhommequicourt you're a 100% right though. Taking care of yourself is expensive nowadays. Money definitely helps, so that you can focus on the more fun things, while staying healthy and in shape.
@@murdermittensnycthe terminator was designed to look like that
I feel like Arnold has made some dietary/exercise changes in recent years. He looked a lot more rugged and weathered a couple of years ago. Now, he looks really good and has a healthy glow to him. He also seems just as lucid as he always has, which is always nice to see when they're getting up there in age. As for Rob, I'm pretty sure he's just a vampire at this point, just like Jared Leto and Paul Rudd. I'd wager their father is William Shatner.
Rob Lowe does not get old.... dang.
Rob Lowe, Paul Rudd, and Ralph Macchio need to come out with a skin care line for men. Or just sell their DNA.
@@DirtMaguirk Ralph Macchio and Rob Lowe had unusually young looks with complexion, Paul Rudd is not in the same boat. My intuition is that this youthfulness of looking 25 years old when in the 40's, can be maintained looking 40 when 60 years old. The nature of the diseases of ageing, affect different people at different ages. My mother even at 70 years old looked nearly 50, but at 80 it all goes straight down. Look up Aubrey de Grey, prevention is better than cure.
Such a casual, terrific interview, and I loved how a lil pig just wanders by, wagging its tail in the background. 😂🐖
Thought I was hallucinating 😮😅
I know, right?! Though I was told that's Arnold's indoor pig, 'Schnelly', and that he has other indoor/outdoor animals, like a donkey, a miniature pony, some dogs, etc. He's like Arnold Doolittle. 🤩@@DrBigFMC
That was awesome. Made me giggle.
Such a great moment, right? Terrific interview between these two, whom I didn't know were such close friends. I was happy to hear they are rekindling their friendship after so many years. @@LordDarthSmyth
Yup, clearly at Arnold's place.
Conan really takes care of himself, you can tell, because he looks like Rob Lowe now.
Haha! I was going to say the same thing
Arnold is such a great interview guest. I loved the anecdote of the director saying 'if we didn't have someone like Schwarzenegger we would have to build one'. LOL. I'm reading his new book now, it's quite good.
I wrote Arnold a letter as a child, like Santa. My ma had the heart to mail one from friend's address with "his" reply. I respect them both.
Can't forget about Sean Connery. He was a Mr. Universe competitor in the 50s.
But Steve Reeves was Mr Universe the one in only Hercules he was to play James Bond before Sean Connery but passed it
And also passed Fist full of dollar's
that made Clint Eastwood also famous
Steve Reeves was though very famous in Europe
Yes Sean Connery Beat a American Chap named Bill Pearl
@@jeffreyivery4299 incorrect Bill Pearl beat Sean'
@@earth7551 I'm sorry your right
Burt Lancaster was a circus acrobat, In the movie "The Crimson Pirate" he did all his own stunts, with his one time trapeze partner Nick Cravat. Nick was also the person in the gremlin suit on the Twilight Zone episode "Terror at 20,000 Feet", with Shatner.
Do yourselves a favor and watch "The Crimson Pirate", let's just say it's POTC and Jack Sparrow's GREAT granddaddy.
Rob Lowe is maybe one of the best interviewers I ever saw. That nod at 4:20, just asking to continue without saying a word. Wow.
I paused it but you make me want to continue the video since it’s so rare that an interviewer isn’t so starved for attention, truly uninterested in the guest, or short on time that they allow the conversation to truly breathe.
I hate interruptions but a close, close second is when the guest says something profound and of-depth…and the interviewer simply moves on to the best question on his/her list.
This may not be 100% fair due to editing but the outcome is what it is - and sometimes, it’s gd cringeworthy.
maybe he just nodded because it's 4:20
Rob Lowe is smart enough to let their guest talk and put them in the spotlight. This is what a smart interviewer does.
Arnold is aging with grace....he looks like a healthy man for his age....humble man
I Worked out with Arnold Schwarzenegger Back in 1974 At Muscle Beach in the pit he's the same guy then as he is right now Arnold is the man
It'll be a sad day when Schwarzenegger is gone. Quite a life lived.
HE WONT DIE ,he has f himself stupid all his life, and destroyed 2x familys ,ask he ex wife.as his ex maid ,she only got 250k and a house thats it
That bacon wagon on the back was funny af!!!
Let’s take a moment and respect the cameraman and editor. The shots and colors are so vibrant.
Rob, Lowe and Arnold Schwarzenegger are some of the best to ever come out of Hollywood❤️🌎🙏☮️⭐️⭐️
I love the (non-fake) humility and sharing nature of Arnold. Rob Lowe is also always awesome. Great listener. Great interview. Great subject.
people forget about Bruce Lee and how he looked...dude was a monster at 130lbs
Yeah 0.00001% body fat, put him in a suit and he's a scrawny little guy.
Arnie was talking about the "big dumb oaf" stigma around a tall guy with massive arms, tree trunk legs and a barrel chest.
I still remember seeing the old Hollywood tough guys like John Wayne, Charelton Heston and Charles Bronson on tv talking about how they were ridiculed in their day for their style of acting. It's crazy that Arnold is now one of the veterans in that pantheon... how time flies!
Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas "Tough Guys" (1986)
Rob Lowe just pronounced Estevez with the accent on the correct syllable. That's ¡literally! the most amazing thing about this interview.
Well he and Emilio were childhood friends so not that hard for him
What about Arnold pronouncing Van Damme with the correct flemish accent (Fon Damm)
@@user-py2st6vq3m What about Arnold being told, NO you can't do the voice over for "The Terminator" in the German market because your German accent is from the hick farmlands and people would laugh at it.
the martial arts movies with Bruce I am sure had an impact too.
he was lean but very muscular.
I know as a kid growing up in 70's Uk millions of bedrooms had that same poster of him in Enter the Dragon with the scratches on a wall and also had a teenage lad with those cheap grey plastic dumbells and them big spring things trying to get a body like Bruce Lee...
damn right! I had the same poster, and one with him holding the nunchalkus in front of him! @@HULLGRAFFITI
True, but he didn't look like Arnold did. Arnold looks like the Hulk compared to Bruce Lee.
true, but did. even amongst his bodybuilder peers, Arnold's size set him apart.
@@tphillips37
OMG, Rob... FINALLY! I've been wanting to actually see the interaction while doing the podcast. Thank you, for bringing it to TH-cam 🤗
Great interview with Rob. It never gets dull listening to Arnie!
Proud of you for keeping your name & accent - my father's family was also from Austria❤
Rob nailed it on his comment about the accent totally selling "I'll be back" as a classic and oft repeated line/catchphrase. How many times a day do you overhear someone toss out "Awl be back!" trying to emulate Arnold's delivery? And it is globally emulated, as I ran into interpreters in Iraq who did the same thing.
Arnold is such a great storyteller.
Glad Yul Brynner was mentioned. Grew up watching movies he's in. One of the bad ass bald actors. He would've been a great Lex Luthor.
AWESOME INTERVIEW, sending good vibes from Southern Maryland. Great listening to you Rob and Arnold!
I miss the Universal gym I was introduced to in my 7th grade P.E. class. That was the same year Rocky III came out. I had so much fun working out. Arnold still inspires me, forty years later. 🙂
If there was anyone in history that I would rather have been, it would have been Arnold. His life story is just amazing. Glad to be alive at the same time as him
Bang your housekeeper, you can be just like him
What a pair, Arnold n Rob Lowe. Lowe is ageless
Nice that Arnold mentioned the prior Hercules & muscle movies, mostly likely he was alluding to the ones from the 1950's-60's, which meant that Arnold was indeed aware of body building stars decades before him, like Steve Reeves & even Jack LaLanne.
Of course he was, everybody knew who Steve Reeves was, he was a movie hearthrobe and in all muscle mags. Arnold said he prefered Reg Park tho, since he had a physique more similar to Park's than of Reeves'.
It would be great if Bill Burr would have Arnold in his podcast.. It would actually be epic tbh😅.
I would ask Arnold about Clint Walker a giant of an actor before these guys and the stories of him and what he could lift in each hand! A monster of a man!
Arnie had huge muscles back in the day for sure, but Clint at 6'6' just had a HUGE frame like a barn door!
Only Arnold can turn an ad for his book into a 11 minute long motivational speech 😅
Arnold is 100% right on names. Zach Galifianakis ..i'll never forget that name now.
Yup. Just enough to turn the channel.
Clint walker looked awesome,Michael Landon and Charles bronson were in shape too
Arnold is the best. The guy never even changed his name all those years. He said "take me as I am". Awesome.
Saw T1 in the theater too. 1985. Lowe came out with his hit called "Youngblood" same year or the year before.
Rob Lowe Will Always Be "Soda Pop Curtis" From The Outsiders.
What a great interview. It's nice to see Arnold aging so well.
2:29 when you have to secretly work out…
More of these, please!
I could listen to Arnold all day. Absolute legend.
So glad to have been there when Pumping Iron was in theaters, Conan, Red Heat, Commando, Predator was on VHS to DVD. Arnold telling the world that he'll run for Governor.. and seeing the progression till he made it and ..lived through his Term as Governor of Ca. Today seeing him in this interview. Full Circle Achieved. Thank you LIFE. Truly Grateful .
Anyone else out there ( who missed out).. well GOOGLE IT.
Rob Lowe looks like he is in his forties he is almost 60. Damn what is the secret to his skin ? Arnold is 76... Impressive.
Rob Lowe is a class act! Always liked him. I think I need to get this new Arnold book.
What a great exchange between those two hunks!
Have listened and when available viewed 90% of the Literally podcast productions. This interview is by far the best to date. While I don't agree with all of his views/approaches to life, Arnold is the face of what America can produce if you are willing to do the hard work, legally. Thank you Rob, Arnold and God Bless America.
I love the look of concern on Rob Lowe's face when Arnold was telling him how he was told he was too big to be in movies haha
Having grown up hearing it my whole life, the idea of movie producers going “ya gotta lose the accent, Arnold,” comes off like such a big ooff in hindsight, couldn’t imagine not being able to go “UgHaHHAghaHA” and feel comfortable people know the impression, lol
1:45 You can see Schnelly in the background here!
Arnold calling himself schnitzel is hilarious
Any Hollywood stories that start with and we met at the hotel.. gives me 😮😢
Charles Bronson was ripped as hell on deathwish the scene he gets stab goes to the bathroom to patch up it was dam he was in his late 30's early 40's/good genes,he was in the service also- we need action movies like the 80'sand 90's/ testosterone needs a come back....
He was shredded in the movie
House of wax
Schnelly in the background! 😂
Rob Lowe is incredible at this.
Perfect to get Arnold to give all the insight you want.
I love stories like these from celebrities. Jamie Foxx has great stories too.
Thank you Arnold for giving props to guys like Charles Bronson. Plus Steve McQueen etc...
did they mention Charles Bronson, his body was amazing in the 60's and 70's.
Such a fascinating history of how action stars got big
Clint Walker trained with weights and was open about it.
why would anyone not want people to know of how much effort they put into making themselves look fit? isn't it more impressive to know the willpower and effort and dedication one has to _earn_ their appearance versus not having to work at all?
Kept things mysterious in the day
@@NZWarriors1995 It wasnt about being mysterious. I tas about being larger thatn life, coming across as better than the average folk, making it seem like they had those body naturally, by virtue of just existing and that they didn't need to train to look like that, while the common man, the average guy would need to.
I’m glad Arnold immediately dispelled that opening ridiculous statement by Rob.
man i have got to listen to all of this. like, arnold is a beast but also rob lowe is a friggin legend
I had to look twice when I saw a pig walk by in the background. Lol. Ole Arnie is something else, man.
This is like 2 of my all time favorite ❤
He was so intensely scary in the first terminator..most underrated slasher villain up until this day.
Brillaint interview, plus love the pig lol
He's got so many good stories to tell he's been a few shows lately he's smart and funny. 0:53
I have always loved Arnold, ever since Conan the Barbarian! And it makes me so happy to see him cameo in The Expendables! Yup I'm an 80's girl! Music and movies in the 80's are the best!❤
Fantastic stories from behind gone years!
Handsome Stranger. I saw that movie when it premiered on TV.
I've always liked Rob Lowe. Also, I watched 'The Lowe Files' when it aired, very interesting!🤘
Rob Lowe is a good listener!
I grew up on this man, my favorite Arnold movie has to be Jingle all the way.
Sean Connery competed in Mr Universe, he used to do the bodybuilding thing when he was young.
Good listener...always big success in union with spouse.
Bruce Lee was probably the first actor that I know of that got insanely jacked
I’m happy to say I saw all of Arnold’s movies When they came out It was a great time to be a movie goer I’m a big Stallone fan too
Arnold always gives good advices but when the competition comes I’m his father 😂
1:06 - there is a pig walking casually through Arnolds living room. I liked Arnold Schwarzenegger but now i love him 🙂
2 legends, discussing legendary things.
Here's a reminder people that Arnold Schwarzenegger was already a multi-millionaire before he started acting. His body building afforded him an entrance into the real estate market where he flourished
I love your work on the Dudesy podcast Arnold
The way Rob lowe laughed 9:16 Funny story from Arnie.
2 of my favorite personalities/actors
Professional and amatuer athletes across the world in so many sports ultimately owe their muscle building acceptance and strength training discipline to the documentary, "Pumping Iron". The charismatic Arnold Schwarzeneger wins Mr. Olympia against a larger and more jacked Lou Ferragno but getting Lou to focus on getting even larger instead of "more defined". Arnold transforms the mid-'70s "muscle bound" freak bulky stereotypes "lifter loners" into engaging body sculpting performance artists. Throughout the movie, the sex appeal Arnold exudes in shifts the long-standing negative image of bodybuilding forever.
Quickly athletes who would not consider getting "muscle bound" learned to properly lift for power and agility and used that knowledge and hard work as an advantage over their competition. It really elevated the performance of athletes and this paradigm shift can be traced back to Arnold, the body builders at Venice Beach and Gold's Gym.
OMG the pig walking in the background LOL.
Arnold is a huge example of perseverance.
