On his podcast named Cutler Cast, Cutler spoke in depth about the Mr. Olympia contest and compared Dwayne Johnson and Schwarzenegger. The WWE Superstar, known as ‘The Rock’, has an inspiring journey in WWE while Arnie revolutionized the bodybuilding industry. Moreover, both stars are famous for their heavy action sequences and stunts in Hollywood movies.
Both are doing well in Hollywood and are megastars. But Cutler has a firm choice because he thinks his fellow professional bodybuilder is a bigger action star.
He explained his thinking by saying“He always had a character he played, Kindergarten Cop, so his aura on stage, like him walking through the expo, is reminiscent of the crowd of people guy. I hate to compare, but Dwayne Johnson a few years ago, when he was the action guy, Arnold was bigger than that.
During his conversation, Jay referred to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s contribution to the development of the bodybuilding profession. He recognized Rock’s contribution to WWE and his accomplishments in his career.
But he thinks Arnold is a bigger action star after insight into his movies, action sequences and high level of dedication to fitness. Cutler also recalled the case where Schwarzenegger interviewed him.
Jay Cutler explains Arnold Schwarzenegger’s influence on bodybuilding and his inspiration.
In Cutler’s opinion, Schwarzenegger is truly dedicated to bodybuilding. Although he no longer competes, his dedication to fitness and constant training is known to all.
