Arnold Schwarzenegger Biography - The Real Muscle is His Brain
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 พ.ย. 2017
- 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.

You meant T100 not T1000
Dude.. U can also quote his overcomes against failures. As it would be a fulfilled biography
Biographics general Meade
George H.W. Bush appointed Schwarzenegger as the chairman of the president's council on physical fitness not his son George W. Bush (after all W. was not president in the 90's but the early 2000's)
That "amazing ability" to gain muscles came from taking steroids :D
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
Don't forget, he was banging the nanny while married to that political royalty🙌
Also, he was already a millionaire through real estate before being a movie star.
“i’m on my 3rd attempt at Rosetta Stone Spanish!”
Dont forgot he was a millionaire off of real estate long before he had become a big actor
Noah Gilmore BAHAH one of the more important states. How it has fallen
Arnold legit is the hold my beer guy
Beer is probably like water to this guy.
Absolutely.
@@me0101001000 You never heard that interview where the guy asks Arnold, "Do you drink milk for your bodybuilding?"
Arnold, "Milk is for babies, I drink beer."
@@bigdmanchap3189 I have not. I am going to go watch that now.
YAH HOULD MY BEEYUH
1) Long name
2) Strange Accent
3) Unusual build
Literally 3 of Arnold's most iconic traits.
U guys r missing the most important thing...
His terminator voice. Raarrrrh!
@inside outside upside downside is any of that iconic tho
@Edward Martinez nope, please do explain
Arnold is only 2 syllables. He doesn't need a surname.
His life summed up
World: Arnold you can't do that.
Arnold: I will do it.
I read this in his accent and it was 100x better lol.
I will do it NAOW
Amend for Arnold!
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.
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.
Almost ideal don't forget he had a child out of wedlock with the nanny / maid. I think he's a great person. I like his work ethic and his concerned about the environment.
@@markadams5823 Ideal professional life. The nanny was a minor "slip up" ;)
@@8ballstreet no not minor a child of was born ..but a human slip up..nobody's perfect nobody .hes a good man none the less
I can say this about the “governator”- he signed my college diploma. My one and only celebrity signature 😂
the only one you will ever need
Yup, his signature is on my college diploma as well!
1:00 - Chapter 1 - Early life
4:05 - Chapter 2 - Army life
7:10 - Chapter 3 - America
8:15 - Chapter 4 - Acting
10:10 - Chapter 5 - Businessman
11:45 - Chapter 6 - Breakthrought
15:10 - Chapter 7 - Governorship
17:10 - Chapter 8 - Post governorship
There is a misconception that Arnold is a birdbrain with huge muscles. This video proves that he is indeed extremely smart, determined, and crafty.
probably has something to do with his thick austrian accent
@@MisterSpinalzo No, it's more of a stereotype that large, strong people lack intelligence.
Yes
@@joshglover2370 you must be strong.
@@Nico18_ Very! 😅
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 Schwarzenegger: The celebrity who actually works to improve the world instead of crying about how other people should do it.
I miss the guvernator.
how did he do that ? lmao by having kids out of marriage ?
I only wish he had been stronger on the 2nd Amendment while he was in office.
Yeah drives 3 hummers a Veyron and a private jet
@@wkdravenna if thats all you got from this video, you need to see a doctor
"Get to da Choppah!"
Yup. Exactly what I was looking for! :-D
Quinten Whyte only had to scroll down a few comments to find it :-D
It's not ah toomah!
@@BFP2021 damn you, I was going to write that 😛
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.
These shorts are fantastic. So much information presented in a short, concise package. Great job and keep it up. TV is horrible nowadays and intelligent factual programming is greatly appreciated.
I loved "Last Action Hero". I thought it was a lot of fun.
Yes. I think he has a weird glass eye that he changes out from scene to scene.
@@thanksfernuthin Wrong character.
I'm guessing I was answering a comment someone made that was deleted for some reason, Christopher. You're right of course.
Me too I went to see it in the movie theater when I was a young buck.
It really was ahead of it's time. It would've been such a massive hit nowadays.
As a Californian, I remember when you could go the the capital and buy "Governator" Merchandise while he was the governor. Absolute legend.
You didn't talk about the Arnold / Sly animosity during the 80's. They eventually became good friends.
He's 70 and still looks that good, I hope I'm still that fit when I'm older
72 in a few weeks!
Yeah, his arms are still bigger than my legs! 😳
I just want to live to 70 lol
Are you that fit now? Lol
T-1000? I think you mean T-800 :-p . Hate to be that guy. Love these videos, great stuff :) Excellent content.
I had to scroll down to look for a comment that corrected this. ha.
i just did the same thing
Thats why you didnt get a like simon petty
Arnold is the T-100 in the movies, isnt he?
Also, James Cameron was not a first time director. He had already directed Piranha II.
Letterman: What does Schwarzenegger mean? Arnold (in a low deadpan voice): Black plowman. That's all I remember from that eighties interview, but I laughed so hard at the meaning and the delivery I've been a fan ever since.
he also said it on Arsenio Hall. "so its not that word you say when we're not around?"
Isnt Schwarzkopf - Black & Head ?
@@holoholopainen1627 Blackhead
It means "Someone from Schwarzenegg", a place in Austria. Schwarz is Black and Egg is Ridge.
@@linusfotograf really? I`ve never thought of Egg or Egger meaning anything. It`s such a common name :)
3:06 Petty sure that Arnolds Parents thought he was gay. 🤐
Lol that’s what I thought. Body building wasn’t a phase. 😂
It’s actually true, should read his book total recall. If I remember correctly his mum was worried about his sexuality.
Like him or not, a remarkable man.
Indubitably.
Yeah, totally impressed! What a drive.
Who doesn't like Arnold!!!!
A great example of human achievement
Don't forget that Austria was a Axis country in WW2. Remember, Hitler was Austrian. Arnold was born two years after the end of said world war. He would have been raised in Cold war boundaries. Whether Western Europe or occupied Communist side affected him in the 60s, I would think there would still be plenty of misconceptions. Competing in European bodybuilding back then if the odds were against him might be bigger then we think. Especially with little money.
Im always amazed how great he is at recalling events and telling stories.
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.
Role
True Arnie had to convince Cameron to give him the part of the Terminator instead of the Reese part
He doesn't me "made" in that sense.
@Sleeve Of Wizard my comment was "grammar nazi" related, nothing more.
How wrng they were abt OJ
I've been a fan of his since the mid '70s before he was a movie star. He's an inspiration.
I love his two big hits...
“Conan the Librarian” &
“The Timid Waiter”
You have to admire Arnie. He was able to switch lives and make them successful. The bodybuilding thing was and is phenonable.
Simon when you have time I have a request for a bio on Lou Ferrigno.
I think it's also really cool to note that Arnold refused to take a salary while he was governor. He was required to be paid something, so he accepted a salary of $1 per year. Even if I didn't agree with all of his policies, I respect that. He really did just want to make California better state.
Arnie , Sly , Van Damm - my action movie childhood..
Last action hero was awesome.
Crass Excursion I liked Last Action Hero too. The premise was great!
I love that movie! 😀
Arnold wasn't at his best at the 1980 Olympia, but he was still the best on stage. Bodybuilding was going through a transition, so the athletes didn't seem to know what the judges were looking for and thus, their physiques were kind of incomplete.
A very bright and cheery review of the Governator!
When this man leaves us,my childhood and part of my being will die a miserable death.
Also I love cigars and he's a cigar legend,he's so positive and casual about them like it should be.
Well, I have a list of people I would like to see bios about. So here goes:
Lady Ada of Lovelace (Computer Science)
Admiral Grace Hopper (Mathematician and Computer Science)
George Washington Carver (Chemist and former slave)
Harriet Tubman (Old Moses, Underground Railroad)
Madam Curie (Radioactivity)
George Washington (President)
Benjamin Franklin (Statesman and Ambassador)
Shirley Temple Black (Actress and Ambassador)
Sir Stephen Hawking (Physicist)
Mitcheo Kaku (Physicist) (Have trouble with the spelling of this one)
Pappy Boington (Black Sheep Squadron Leader WWII)
Booker T. Washington (Founder of the Tuskegee Institute)
The Tuskegee Airmen (All black squadron WWII)
(The Black Sheep, and the Tuskegee Airmen were not people you wanted to meet in the air as an enemy.)
Bill Gates (I don't like his business practices, I had to pay for "Windoze" with my first Intel processor even though I did not want it at the time, but I do like what he is doing with that Money now. He has been behind a number of charity donations and work which I can certainly agree with.)
Steve Wozniak (Designer of the first Apple Computer)
Steve Irwin (Zoo Keeper, Naturalist, Promoter of environmental causes.)
Just to name a few people. If you have people you would like to see, feel free to add to this list.
Some we have already added and I placed a few from your list on ours, especially Steve Irwin.
70 years old and still working out, that's not a man it's a machine!
Good on him. :)
In an alternate universe, Arnold would've been sitting in the Oval Office right now.
He didn't do it here because he was already sitting on a Golden Throne.
Great video, Shell and Wheeler!! Keep 'em coming!!
excellent story and channel!
*T-800, Arnie played the T-800, the T-1000 was the villain in T2
Just stumbled across your video mate, really love the content. Liked straight away, We should connect!
In Malaysia we called him "Arnold Susah Nak Eja" It meant "difficult to write"
Wrong George Bush and James Camron wasn’t a first time director.
Do you count Piranha 2? Having seen it I'm not sure I count Piranha 2 :P
I'm watching this video for the first time, and I just got to the photo of "President Gearoge Bush" and I'm all like "First he was a T-800, not T-1000, and secondly, that is the wrong President Bush." I'll take your word on the Cameron thing (I honestly don't know, but I am losing my faith in Simon)
A Wonder and a Delight. The epitome of what happens when you're willing to WORK to realize your dreams. A Living Legend. Fantastic Human Being. Thank you, Arnold, for showing us how it's done!
Every effort he done has payed off
and a dose of luck and being at the right place at the right time
Excellent video but at the risk of being that guy the inner nerd in me will not let it slide that Arnold portrayed the T-800 and the T-1000 was the villain from the second Terminator movie. Keep up the great work I love this series of videos.
He was Austrian! :D
Thanks for reminding me. :/
Austrian by birth,
And Maria is Austrian by insertion.....
By the by,
How can you not be....
Austrian, when born, raised, your ancestors where there forever....
Your being political, not realistic.
Citizenship is a political thing,
A piece of paper. Where your blood dries......
That is real.
Hasta Lluego / IS That Austrian Language ?
@@holoholopainen1627 Austrians speak German
@@saberdon2341 His MOST Famous LINE - Ill Be Back - Hasta Lluego ! Do People in General speak Spanish - in Austria ? - or IS IT just Holiday Talk ? I Have Been to Spain - Costa Del Sol / Cran Canaries - and Their English - I Find Limited !
I’m loving these videos! They’re great to listen to as a podcast while I walk my dog. Super interesting. Keep up the awesome work!!!
I like Dogs ! I am an Underdog - Ice Hockey Fan !
Excellent work once again. I grew up watching him in the 1980's.
Glad your new channel is taking off. Your work in VisualPolitic channel was always top bar geopolitical analysis. And with this channel you maintain that level of quality.
Too bad for Arnold as they originally had planned that a 21 year citizenship was to be enough to run for president:
“One question on the qualifications of the president was among the last to be decided.
On the twenty-second of August the committee of detail, fixing the requisite age of the president at thirty-five, on their own motion and for the first time required that the president should be a citizen of the United States, and should have been an inhabitant of them for twenty-one years.
The idea then arose that no number of years could properly prepare a foreigner for the office of president; but as men of other lands had spilled their blood in the cause of the United States, and had assisted at every stage of the formation of their institutions, the committee of states who were charged with all unfinished business proposed, on the fourth of September, that 'no person except a natural-born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, should be eligible to the office of president,' and for the foreign-born proposed a reduction of the requisite years of residence to fourteen.
On the seventh of September, the modification, with the restriction as to the age of the president, was unanimously adopted.”
- Historian George Bancroft in his:
‘History of the Formation of the Constitution of the United States’ (1884) (Volume 1 Page 346):
I did not know that. Thanks for that knowledge. What a damn shame.
Was that to avoid an English born - President ? Wasnt Washington & Vancouver born at England ?
I always immediately hot the like button, even before the video ever starts. Why? Because I know it's going to be good regardless. Just going back through some of my favorite episodes after your video today.
I think one of the most definitive human accomplishments is the nuclear bomb. I really hope you guys can get to guys like Oppenheimer and Feynman at some point.
Great new channel! I am starting to think Simon is either an android or identical triplets.
Accomplishment is not the term that comes to mind considering the suffering and fear that nuclear weapons brought to humanity.
Absolute Zero It’s not even remotely that simple, which is exactly why it’s (imho) the DEFINITIVE HUMAN accomplishment. If not for Mutually Assured Destruction, the Cold War would have been a very hot, fiery, and bloody war.
We are flawed, complicated beasts who routinely harness otherwise massively destructive power to create order and beauty in our world. Nukes, and the paradoxical peace they have brought, are the pinnacle of technology and guys like Feynman are FASCINATING.
4077Disc I do agree that Richard Feynman was a brilliant scientist and that coming up with the nuclear bomb was anything but easy. However I also think that contributing in building a weapon of mass destruction that later came to be used against innocent children is not something that should be hailed as an achievement. Pointing nukes at each other to force peace is an inherently flawed and dangerous concept. It is very premature to consider M.A.D a success. What happens if a terrorist group manages to launch a nuke against another nuclear power? That would spell destruction for both nations, at the very least. The nuclear bomb is hence not the most definitive achievement but instead humanity's worst mistake that it has yet to pay for.
Absolute Zero thoughtful response; great points, but I simply disagree with most of them. It’s an easily documented fact that you are far less likely to die from war than at anytime in human history. Mostly, I think pointing nukes at each other is FAR better than ACTUALLY shooting guns at each other; Nukes are a better evil than the evil that would take their place.
While it could go catastrophically wrong at any moment, but as long as it doesn’t, our lives are better for it. There are more impressive, beautiful, and useful technological achievements, but nukes are still the most definitive human accomplishment, IMO.
Have a great day.
If you think about it, how many people have been killed by nuclear weapons? Now compare that with how many have been killed by machine guns, artillery, arial bombers etc. Considering the killing potential of nuclear weapons, they've been relatively safe when you factor how many people died in warfare in the 75 years since the nuclear bomb, compared with the 75 years leading up to it. And that doesn't even take into accound the population explosion in recent years.
In 1970, I was on my way to college and I had become interested in bodybuilding by reading Muscle magazine looking for any women bodybuilders that had training tips. Arnold was often featured and became my male bodybuilding icon for years.
Another good one Simon.
I think you had the wrong bush.... I think you wanted George W.H Bush (41st president).....your picture of Bush..was his son George .W. Bush (43rd president). Great video!
Last action hero is one of my favorite Arnold comedies. It's hilariously ridiculous, with armed nuns, mobsters, a great bad guy, and a pretty talented cast, including the kid who played Arnold's sidekick
Right!? I loved it as a kid, and I still love it as a 32 year old grown man! 🤣
It was a decent film, not his best, and heavily rooted in poking fun at himself and his films. I had just finished High School when it was realeased, and was a bit dissappointed, I see it now with a less critical eye, since at the time, his previous film was T2. Historically it is sandwiched between two of his (arguably) best films, T2, and True Lies.
@@kwydjebo I wasn't born until 1998, so I think I first watched it around 2006. I would always crack up when Benedict shouted "I have just murdered a man, and I would like to confess!" And someone yelled back "shut up"
Long live the Arnold. I was just talking to someone the other day about Arnold's life being an encredible story. This guy has accomplished so much
Another awesome video!! Thank you Simon!!😁. Keep up the great work!!😁
Simon, please do one on Haile Selassie
That would be good.
Great idea!
Gotta. Love Arnold! A great combination of brains and brawn. A deep love for this country, a deep commitment to children and their health with the special Olympics being close to his heart and he didn't turn his back on the sport that enable him to become such an icon, body building. Also, without that much mocked accent I don't believe he would have become the mega star he is today. No accent, no icon. He made what some consider flaws into his greatest assets. Arnold you are the
Arnold is a legend. I look up to his incredible work ethic.
😂😂😂
love your videos. Educational, entertaining, and the form in which portray information makes it too interesting
Fantastic vid as always
"Maybe it's a tumor"
"Its NOT a toomah"
"do it"
"Come on"
"Kill me now!"
I can't believe you glossed over his bricklaying company, which is how he initially became rich. He co-founded the business with a bodybuilder friend in '68 and they made a fortune after the San Fernando earthquake in 1971. If that had never happened, his life may have turned out vastly different, because that wealth permitted him the financial freedom to pursue acting.
Simon. You always make my days! Kudos to you
Is there a time frame you are limited to Simon? I'd love to see your take on Gaius Marius or Aristotle
Great channel! 👌🏼
What’s the music in the background ?
Wanna know that too
I want to know also
Hello?
Definitely prefer the storytelling and editing style you've been using in 2020/21 vs the one you used here.
Keep up the great work y'all
Another great one, thanks very much and please keep them coming!
When he was the head of the President's Council on Physical Fitness he went to one school in all 50 states and for some reason my school was picked. I got to meet him he was way shorter in real life and I was expecting.
Isn't he 6"2?
I think hes around 5 ft 10 or 11 ?
Arnold's character in _The Terminator_ was the "T-800". The "T-1000" was the liquid metal guy from _Terminator 2: Judgment Day_ .
Most fascinating video yet!
Awesome video. Loved the music as well.
Great story. I have always admired him.
Moral of this video:
Hard work beats intelligence and talent any day.
The guvernator was awesome at his job.
But he is very intelligent tho. He overcame EVERYTHING that stood in his way!
Keep up the great work, I love these bios
Army: No one is allowed to leave the base!
Arnold: Hercules goes where he wishes!
it's much nicer after you removed the ping.. now its really good and perfect, good an interesting biography's
wiil do Sir Sean Connery
His highest paid role was Mr. Freeze. It was also one of his worst. He is worth approx $400 million!
Joel D I was never more disappointed in a movie. What a terrible thing that was. The director should hide his head in shame.
He apoligized for it, on the official DVD commentary!
He is comedy gold in the movie. Ig you think otherwise freeze in hell joel d. He made the movie. and its a great comedy.
Ice to meet you
I think he did well. I guess it was his worse work, but he gave us hit after hit after hit.. He can get away with a couple bad movies. Plus he was funny!
Nicely done!
I don't know why but the music in this episode was just PERFECT.
Yep but whats that songs name?
Get to da choppa!
We might make fun of his accent, but he is a very smart dude.
I had no idea Last Action Hero Bombed. I loved it, so I just assumed it was a hit.
Loved it as a kid too :)
@@Biographics my kids were my excuse for going t see it.
Biographics! Thank you 🙏 i totally enjoying watching all the different biographies...of peoples past, & the present...am totally hooked on history!!!! Again, thank you 🙏 😊👍💯💯💯
do one on elon musk

"Arnold Schwarzenegger is a GREAT MAN!" - Bill Burr
11:55 does anyone actually remember where Yugoslavia was? I have not heard the Name for a long time, In case anyone doesn't know, It consisted of Croatia,Slovenia,Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Serbia and Montenegro and was formed in 1918 after world war 1
The Arnold classic has a lot more than just a bodybuilding show. It's an all round event of athleticism and human performance over many different sports and disciplines. Its strongman competition is considered by most to be the true worlds strongest man contest!
Man you really don't know your US Presidents do you? First in your Himmler video you describe Eisenhower when he was General as "President," and now you use a picture of the wrong Bush.
Wrong Bush
Great. Now I can't get that 60's guitar riff outta my head. I imagine Arnold playing it.
But whats that songs name?
I really enjoy your videos.
Did you guys use the wrong picture of George Bush?
Yup
Yeah he used George W. Bush instead of George H.W. Bush
This video has my favorite background music ever! Idk what is I love it. Great video Too! Lovin this new channel! I watched every video in 1 day! Keep it up!! :)
What is that Song?
13:46 - I've always been partial to Jingle All the Way. Nice memories. :)
Just one point you omitted: he and Franco Columbu were already millionaires by the early 70’s thanks to some pretty slick marketing for their bricklayer business. Your channel has fast become my favorite and I fear I shall watch all your videos soon and suffer withdrawals.
