Notice how the interviewer never interrupts - and let’s his guest speak. Masterful conversation
He interrupts at times
Tim Ferriss could learn much from him.

He's an absolute legend, a gem to my childhood, and this interview adds to his greatness.
Love Arnold for Sure.

My girlfriend and myself met Arnold briefly in 1978-9 when he was visiting his friends Jon & Pam in Victoria, B.C.
He smoked a big stogie while laughing and commenting on hiw plams for stardom in the U.S.
Inspirational, glad you made it Arnie
The great thing about Graham is he listens... ❤️
My affection for this man cannot be easily described. He has been such an influence on me ever since I was a teen.
Arnold's real life might be more impressive than any character he's played.
Amen to that. Thats an oscar movie. Greetings from a big fan.
Ha ha yes I would imagine his real life is boring in comparison to say the terminator
for REAL. listen to his audio book Total Recall, he’s lived like 25 lifetimes, it’s nuts
@@Zipp333 He topped that by being the Governator. The Terminator never held elected office...
I love Arnie, but considering his characters are very 2 dimensional it's not that difficult for anyone's life to be more Impressive lol
My favourite quote in This interview 🙂 "The more Organic you are, the better chance you have to shine"...😇 Arnold Schwarzenegger
And the Nixon impression was belly busting LOL
Screw your freedom
My favorite Arnold quote is “screw your freedom”
I love listening to Arnold. His journey through life is so amazing. He has accomplished so much.
He's such a great reminder to not make excuses and just keep pushing yourself. Great interview and thank you for letting him speak without interruption!
Tell that to black folks
@@Jungle1048 - Rubbish Seeds indeed! 🤣Moronic
@@Jungle1048 serious question: what do you mean by that?
@@Jungle1048 for real.
@@Jungle1048 Idiotic low-key racist remark from an American who benefitted from generations of white supremacist policies. You should hang your head in shame.
I can watch Arnold interviews all day long and never get bored. Just pure wisdom and inspiration from this man. Here’s to another one! 🙏🏻
I grew up watching Arnold’s movies as a kid till a grown man. My father was born in 36’, he was a very tough strong man. Worked construction all his life. When it came to movies he didn’t have the most patience. But he ALWAYS respected Arnold Schwarzenegger and his movies. This is coming from a older black man from the DC/Baltimore area. My father has long been passed away now, but to this day I still admire everything about Schwarzenegger and his films, thanks to me seeing what a true old school gentleman admires. Toughness, charisma, manhood, and humbleness

@Paul Allen Yeah I know, these tik tokers that our kids think are stars don't even compare, aren't gonna have the backbone or the stamina to stay famous for more than 3 months, let alone a lifetime. You'll never see icons like we've seen on our screens for a lifetime, they wont exist. So sad!
These new generestions can learn a lot from Arnold
He literally came from nothing. Came to America, the land of opportunity. Became the biggest action movie star, became governor of California, and he became a bodybuilding champion, and god knows what else!!! HARD WORK pays off!!
"Screw your freedom." Arnold Schwarzenegger
@@user-mr1ku5iz8l Americans love freedom so much they are the statistically least free country on the planet. Funny that.
Morons.
Yeah hard work and steroids and having a very unique name and accent and body that makes you stand out over everyone else. Yeah super easy.
@@forsaken7976someone is jealous jesus christ
@@tom.k1547 who is jealous of what ?
I am in awe of how easily Arnold captured my attention. The detail of his conversation is amazing as is his intelligence.
Watched this AFTER Netflix's 'ARNOLD'. Good watch!
Same! Great documentary, left so many positive emotions and really inspired me to be a better person
Arnold is a national treasure. He's intelligent, perceptive, charismatic and goal driven. Instead of complaining when things don't go his way he just works harder and prepares more thoroughly. This is how you become successful. He's also a captivating storyteller and who knew he did Nixon impressions? Great guy.

Mr. IrishNachos, Latin people should apologize for kicking him out of Austria. The good 'ole boot get lost buddy.
In Sweden, we call this Bury him under the outdoor Sauna. It's Winderlost, no one cares.
A national treasure doesn't tell half of the Americans in the country to "F**K" their freedom just so the other half doesn't have to live in fear. Just sayin'. I used to admire him. Not anymore. Went home and threw out ALL my Arnold books and movies after that commie comment.
the interviewer did his homework.. excellent interview
Hello 😊 there how are you?
The way he describes how to play the Terminator to James Cameron really shows how intelligent of an actor he is, he's not just an action hero. Inspirational interview!
Its because the way he grow up. He was so hungry. Thats why he was talking with Cameron about T1
He terminated that cleaning ladies naughty bits...he hid that from his wife...he left out some of the parts about how shitty he could be.
My son was born with the transposition of the great arteries. He had his revised surgery 7 days after he was born and had internal bleeding after surgery went back to OR night of.. we almost lost him a couple of times throughout the 11 months we spent in the hospital. He now will be 21 in July!!❤❤
No matter what you may think of Arnold as an actor or a person, no matter mistakes he may have made etc--you have to admire this man. He literally rose to top of everything he tried...he's one of the most unlikely "leading man" types, especially considering the time he came to Hollywood. How many people, before Arnold even knew about bodybuilding?
He’s a tremendous sense of comedy that he doesn’t get a lot of credit for . True lies , jingle all the way , kindergarten cop , total recall have so many funny parts 😂😂
He came to America very poor and married a Kennedy. I grew up in the 60s and the Kennedys were like Royalty. He did raise to the top of everything he tried, Body building. Mr Universe, Acting, Movie star, Politics although he wasn't President, he was Governer. He is also an animal lover.
can agree on that don`t respect were respect is due, even i dont agree with him on a lot of things...
I respected him until he said screw your freedom during covid
@@IbanezjemJSX climate change pushing fraud. "screw your freedom"
Notice how the interviewer never interrupt at the wrong moments, that's a master. Thumbs Up 👍
Human beings are nuanced, and he's not a perfect human, but in so many ways, they don't make men like him anymore. It is why it's so important to hear people like him tell their stories.
they make men like him all the time, dont just repeat tired and untrue tropes without thought.
@@Snarkeroid FO
@@TheBella2u : That's the only reply you've "Thought of" in the end. LMAO. This should be a learning experience for you.
Amen to that. Greetings from a fan.
They’re all dying off. Now we’re left with wokeness.
Hes so sharp at 75, a true inspiration of what a human can be when we forget about our limitations.
In this interview he is 68 or 69.
Lifting weights is the fountain of youth. I know several guys in their 50s and 60s that look great. Once you fall off the grind, you slowly die.

Good to hear that Arnie mentioned old Steve Reeves my boyhood hero.
This interview is about 5 years ago so he was about 70 years old in this interview !
Great interviewing. Sets up the question and context. Then lets him talk. Masterful and so refreshing not to have a chatter box interviewer.
This is golden, thanks so much Graham for this interview. Inspirations like Arnold are once in a lifetime and there is a world of things to learn from him.
How to ruin a state as a democrat ?? Ok cool story.
Graham is my favorite interviewer, no matter who he's interviewing! Interviewers should pay attention, and learn to shut up and let the guest talk. He's the master at it!!
This man is beyond inspirational..
woke power. let's go brandon.
Yeah. Remember “F your freedom”? He’s a brainwashed cultist. What a hero.

@@Kalabei I was wondering when I saw him I was why does he look 5 years younger thanks.
The epitome of vision and determination is this guy...... the perfect person to make you take action.
I took action, and “screwed my freedom” just like Arnold said
Absolute fucking beast…there will never be another Arnold.
He is the literal definition of a Superhuman
Steroids do that
woke power. let's go brandon.
Ubermensch haha
@@MrVoronoi Have you ever had an original thought, or do you just mindlessly regurgitate every catchphrase that you hear?
@@KlausBahnhof woke power. let's go brandon.
Such an inspiration. Never give up on your dreams. When I hear Arnold speak about his ambitions he had and motivations it resonates within me so much
He inspire me too “ screw your freedom”
the 1st 4 minutes describes exactly my life from leaving school at 16 in 1986, no support or encouragement at all, i left home before my 18th and after nearly 38yrs i'm still an electrician. did it all on my own. admire Arnold and always have.
Now i want to hear more Arnold Tank stories.
Watched Twins last night and was super impressed how funny Arnold was. Laughed many times. His acent did it all.
I like his comedies best. My favorite is "Kindergarten Cop".
Great movie
I always sleep on the flow-r ☝️
Love all his movies
OMG arnolds Nixon impression was awesome!!! 47:09
Acreed❗❗❗ Who'd a thought it.
Arnold looks like a million dollars here. What an inspiration. He loves life.
And think, he has had I think at least three open heart surgeries.
He loves maids too
Hair dye? All grey after seven years in 2023?
This is the best interview of Arnold I’ve ever heard.
His comments regarding his relationship with his father are in line with what I’ve read elsewhere and completely correspond to my armchair psychologist speculations about how it may have influenced the development of his character and outlook on life.
I do wish he’d had an opportunity to talk a little about his late brother Meinhardt, who tragically died at a young age.
It’s interesting: Both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Donald Trump - who definitely appear to be nemeses- aren’t only of Germanic ancestry but both had older brothers who had substance abuse issues and died at young ages. I speculate that in both cases this may have also contributed to the development of their “must win at all costs!” mindsets.
I believe a lot of people respect Graham. He’s very respectful and patient during the interviews. I think the celebrities are more willing to talk. He’s not pushy at all and delivers questions well. I could watch Graham interview all day.
I think Arnie in his 20's and 30's is probably a contender for the guy MOST guys in the world would want to be - and to have lived through that part of his life. From winning Mr Olympia and Mr Universe, to moving from Austria to the USA and making the Conan Movies, Terminator, Commando and Predator, to Total Recall and True Lies, and becoming the highest paid, well known Hollywood Megastar ever. Infinite hot girls. Marrying a Kennedy. Just insane level of life.
No thx
@@ekimandersom4478 Like I said .... MOST guys. There are always a few out there that'd wanna be Boy George...
Everything except the part about his wife. She's always been odd looking and he could of had someone far more attractive. Plus the relationship failed and they divorced so like alot of people he unfortunately wasted many years with someone he won't die married to. At least he has his children from it.
Loosing Maria is probably a loss that hasn't hit home yet.
He's had a amazing wonderful life that's for sure
Graham, great job. You let your guests talk. You are a throwback to better times.
Glad you enjoyed! - DF
@@GrahamBensinger Agree, great interview. You actually listen intently and allow people to speak. Respect!
Hello from Scotland,
Just finished watching the Netflix, Arnold docu and it did not disappoint. I have always been a massive fan of AS. He was an incredible athlete, actor, businessman and govenor. What an incredible human being.
Cheers 🏴
He's still in amazing shape. You can see his calves blasting through his pants just sitting there. Bodybuilding truly is the fountain of youth. Thank you Arnold for inspiring us all.
It is also called testosterone replacement therapy. No disrespect to Arnold meant. It just works.
Say that to the countless BB’ers who die young😅
You gay af
@@MrObame But even trt won’t do much when you don’t have the healthy life style
@@MrObameYou still have to put the work in even when you are on trt. But yep I think when we get past 50 we need to be on that to stay in shape.
An absolute legend!!!
Great Interview, Arnie is such a gentleman and Graham is such a good listener and allows him to really go into depth.
That tank story had me in stitches 🤣
Such a great interview. Arnold is so inspiring. He’s been one of my heroes since I saw Pumping Iron as a kid. Then his book The Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding was my go to source when I was 15 and desperate to descrawnify myself. He’s still inspiring me to chase my dreams all these decades later. The interviewer is perfect too. You asked great questions then let him answer for as long as he wanted to without interrupting. Your manner and voice are remarkably similar to another great host from the 1970s named Dick Cavett. Thanks for this!
Oh this is an upload that is NICE to see. Let's go Graham.
Arnold's a complete force of nature. What an amazing Inspirational life.
👊😊
He inspire me too “screw my freedom”
One of the best interviews I've ever seen, very good. Great interview.
he looks immaculate and his true deep life experience is absolutely inspiring-beautiful job!
I love Arnold, such a good guy on every aspect.
Fantastic interview, with insights I never knew, brilliant
Growing up like that must have been hard in so many ways. It takes a lot to change negative to positiv. Thank you for all the great movies.
He asked great questions. Wow, Arnold did a hell of an impression. 47:13
The first time I saw and learned about Arnold was in the late 70s ~ muscle & fitness magazine ~ one of the original “influencers” .. what an incredible man
💪🏽😎🇦🇹 🇺🇸
LOVE Arnold !!!!
Love his Sense of Humor.
Love his Passion !
Massive inspiration to my own life and all his films helped me throughout growing up.
What an inspiration, Arnold is truly an amazing person.
It's definitely one of the greatest interviews that I've ever seen before. If people don't lie, you can feel it immediately. That's exactly what I am watching right now. Arnold, thank you for that interview. Because of you, I understand myself much better.
Very good and informative interview. Thanks!
Could listen to him the whole day! So, so inspirational!
I love Arnold, and we share the same birthday! He's an endless source of motivation for me.
Back in the early 1980's when I first discovered him and saw Conan in 1982 and then saw Pumping Iron not long after I decided to get serious about becoming a bodybuilder. I devoured everything Arnold did, saw every movie, if only to support him, and started saving every magazine cover he was on. Eventually I gave up on the magazine covers because they would have filled a whole room. He's been inspiring me, in so many ways, for 4 decades now. I'm thankful for Arnold and how and who is is.
Twins?
Wow 2023 watching this amazing interview and watched the Netflix’s documentary of his life and the more I watched in this interview I find more and more impressive life stories and I bet he still has more lot to tell huh ❤
As another commenter has stated - Mr. Graham Bensinger is a GOD in terms of interviewing: he is respectful, well informed, he allows the individual to speak - Mr. Bensinger, is the best or one of the very best interviewers, that I have seen. Better than Excellent. Wonderful, and Arnie - god bless this gentleman.
I can relate to Arnold. As an Asian kid in the U.K., my father always said things like “I’m not good enough etc” now I have a business and family in Tokyo. Comments like that help you in life I guess
Great interview!!
Thanks Graham 👍🏻
Graham is an excellent interviewer, he lets Arnold talk instead of being annoying hustler
Hearing about Arnold talking about life growing up in Austria was fascinating. I think his life has all the makings of a great biopic. Maybe his son can play him?
Jaaaaa that would be excellent !!!
Arnold.... I'm nothing but impressed.... down to earth, just normal. Love it.
Classic interview!
Great interview between Graham Bensinger and Douglas Quaid!
I got chills, When he started talking about the great American work out
I feel like Arnold took great pride in that
My parents grew up in Austria. Arnold is right there is a strong work ethic in Austria, from a young age this instilled into
Most people.
Adolf started that trend
No way, before that Nazi Nut, work ethic was important in Austrian culture.
The Austrians might as well be German, because they are & were for Germany all throughout the war. They helped round up the Jews & killed many themselves
@@ekimandersom4478 - If you knew history, you’d know know Evil Adolf was very lazy - the only thing he started was Nazism & the killing of millions, including 6 million Jews- learn your history!!
Arnie’s dad was SS wasn’t he ?
I love the questions at the interviewer asked him
Inspiring man and very charismatic. Could listen to him speak for hours.
What a legend.
This guy saved the Terminator franchise from OJ Simpson.
No words. Respect Arny👑💪
She is still lighting up the Heavens with her brilliance and beauty! Her music is timeless!❤️
Looks 45 years old the guy is a living legend!!
45 ? Come on...
What a journey! This is living life to it's fullest. Arnie's so timeless, when he spoke about Nixon it sounded crazy, then you remember he's 75yrs old! 🤣 He managed to describe a whole lifetime, without expressing any obligatory sadness or excuses for one thing or another. Naturelly positive, more like him please! 👏
And still looks phenomenal, with CGI and stuntmen, de-aging he can do movies for the next 15-20 years. I'd pay for it.
Why do they call him boy George ? Why not girl George and avoid all the confusion
@@conorsmith8551 🤣😩 harsh but fair lol
God blessed this man ! ❤
Another great interview by Graham!
Such meaningful words! I too belive change is possible! Thank you, Arnold! You are deeply inspiring!
Fascinating interview
Great Interview Graham... you did a lot of research and made it very entertaining how each question lead to painting a story of his life. And Arnold is a special person and a loved his Nixon impersonation.
Arnold is nothing less than a legend! His book Total Recall was excellent.
I read Arnold's book in the 80's. All I remember is he could weight train with his buddy and they would finish and writhe on the ground in pain.
And his mother would be like ' what's wrong with you'.
... It was a fun book. A little different.
Great interview - thank you both!
I can relate to Arnold's upbringing a lot. My father was similar my mom too.
The more organic you are your greater chance to shine.👍
Great interview
Wow Arnold really has been a good dude up and downs he still prevails loved this show
Amazing interview. Love Arnold ❤
Thank you.
What wonderful story.
America loves you Arnold❤❤❤❤❤
Arnold is a true legend. When I was younger I got into working out/weight training. I bought his bodybuilding book at a garage sale for 75 cents. Best money I ever spent. Helped me so much. Went from 260lb with belly to 205lbs with a 6 pack in 6 months while working 65/hrs work week. Ate whatever I wanted too. I was kinda surprised when I read the part about him and Franco smoking weed before workouts to open up the blood flow I thier lungs. Well, I followed the book and bought a bag lol, worked great!
Настоящая легенда, человек сделавший самого себя.
2 years ago I was working out at Gold's gym in Santa Monica on a Sunday and Arnold was there. I walk about 3 feet in front of him after my workout was done. I didn't go up to meet him because he had a couple other guys behind him. Now this guy was my idol growing up but I didn't want to be a pest at age 58 but if you want to find him he is at Gold's alot from what I hear.
this whole interviews are way better then all the broken up segments.
I do not know how can I expect my word just with the one: MOTIVATION
