Fitness is a crucial facet of life. Science proves that constant effort to maintain fitness is necessary to live a healthy and happy life. However, this realization came late for the Arnold Schwarzenegger’s True Lies co-star, Tom Arnold. To the unversed, Tom Arnold starred alongside Schwarzenegger in the 1994 sensation hit True Lies, which grossed $378.9 million worldwide. 

The Happy Endings icon again collaborated with the Governator in the recent Netflix venture, FUBAR. The actor recently opened up about a major health crisis a year back that made him shift to the fitness path.

Tom Arnold spills beans on his weight transformation

Unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger, a gym rat and fitness freak, Tom Arnold preferred an inactive lifestyle until a couple of years back. His unhealthy lifestyle resulted in a life-threatening stroke in 2022. The single dad realized what he messed up so far and wanted to transform his ways to live longer and care for his children.

The 64-year-old hired a trainer and followed a strict regime to lose weight consistently and is now an inspiration to many on their weight loss journey. His faith in his trainer was reflected when he revealed how he followed his mentor in an interview with the Fox News channel. 

“I went up to an hour of cardio, hard cardio. I ate what he said to eat when he said to eat it. And I was never hungry,” Arnold stated in the interview. The results are evident when the 64-year-old reached a weight much less than in the True Lies era. Schwarzenegger is also indirectly linked to Arnold’s transformation as the latter found his trainer at the Governator’s house.

The comedy icon suffered an ischemic attack, resulting in no blood flow to some parts of the brain. Despite being in a critical condition, he recovered from the health disaster and embarked upon a healthy lifestyle for the sake of his children. So, in the process, he met his trainer, Charles D’Angelo, at the bodybuilding icon’s residence.

The Bar Hopping actor confessed about his Zoom sessions with his trainer and how the latter was confident of the actor’s weight transformation. The FUBAR costars also once went on a cycle ride. Speaking about his new life, Arnold once said, “renewed sense of awareness, accountability, and affirmation.”
