“I Don’t Want to Be That Guy, I Want to Be Arnold Schwarzenegger”: 50-Y.O. Millionaire American Comedian Details His Strange Realization

Millionaire American comedian and actor Bert Kreischer is coming out with his new movie ‘The Machine’ on May 25. In the action-comedy, the veteran comedian stars beside the legendary Mark Hamill. Recently Kreischer appeared on ‘The Rich Eisen Show’ to promote his upcoming film. During their conversation, Kreischer talked about his recent collaboration with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who makes his TV show debut on May 25 with FUBAR on Netflix.

Kreischer talked about working out with Arnold Schwarzenegger and feeling inspired by the bodybuilding legend’s infectious energy. In fact, Schwarzenegger impressed the 50-year-old so much that he came to a strange realization about meeting another famous actor he admires.

There is no one like Arnold Schwarzenegger

During his conversation with Rich Eisen on Roku TV, the veteran stand-up comedian praised Arnie. Kreischer said he asked the 75-year-old about the exercise he misses but can’t do because of his age. The comedian then explained how the former Mr. Olympia passionately explained why he misses doing deadlifts. While he had asked Arnie the question casually, the former Mr. Olympia’s passion reminded him of Arnie’s past achievements. While Kreischer didn’t get the facts right about the Austrian Oak’s bodybuilding achievements, he was in awe of Arnie’s exploits. The millionaire comedian then revealed the incident that made him want to become like the Terminator actor.

“I just hung out with Arnold Schwarzenegger… I got a movie coming out, and then I see Ed Norton,” said Kreischer. The actor and comedian said he could barely contain his excitement after the unexpecting crossing of paths with the academy award nominated actor. However, when Norton “walked by,” with nothing but a nod of acknowledgment, the 50-year-old found clarity.

“Ed Norton’s amazing but I don’t want to be that guy. I want to be Arnold Schwarzenegger,” said Bret Kreischer. However, as much as Arnie made an impression on the 50-year-old, he also impressed the seven-time Mr. Olympia. 

The bodybuilding icon praised a particular aspect of Kreischer’s physique

On May 15, on Youtube, Arnold Schwarzenegger uploaded his workout session with Kreischer and his FUBAR co-star Fortune Feimster. It didn’t take long for the 75-year-old fitness icon to put on his coaching cap. After leading the way with one set, Arnie showed Kreischer and Feimster how to do lat pull-downs with the correct form at Gold’s Gym.
