It is not new that a bodybuilding star with his massively magnificent physique gets cast in a movie. The number of bodybuilders who ventured into the realms of entertainment is huge, but only a few have left a longing reputation behind. Arnold Schwarzenegger is undoubtedly the best in the field of bodybuilding, and clearly one of the most prominent bodybuilders who gave the entertainment industry an equal number of characters that didn’t fade with time. At present, the Titanesque bodybuilding beast, Mike O’Hearn, is also marking a firm position in the same niche.

Although 54 years old, no one can deny that O’Hearn has an ever-youth air about him, as much as his physique. Seven-time Fitness Model of the Year, O’Hearn has starred in several movies and TV shows before. He is famously known as “Titan” from the 2008 show American Gladiator, hosted by Hulk Hogan. Let us now take a look at the new film he is starring in.

Mike O’Hearn talks about his new movie

Directed by Eddie Alcazar, a new Science-Fiction movie “Divinity” is grabbing all the attention. In his latest Instagram post, O’Hearn shared a reel that has several clips from the sets of the movie. In his caption, he wrote, “A two year project that has been at times extremely stressful, frustrating, and exhausting. But the desire to never give up, and seeing it come fruition made the struggles all worth it. Seeing the avant-garde finished product makes me so proud, and nobody will know the struggle.”

Furthermore, he also showed gratitude for the movie, and how it made his childhood dreams into a reality. He said, “The grand finale to the project was being able to walk the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theatre, where as a kid I got to see my idols, Sean Connery and Paul Newman walk on the same world famous venue, and here I am today doing the same thing, for a project I am so proud of.”

Mike O’Hearn ends his caption by giving Arnold Schwarzenegger a huge shout-out. Although known for his characters such as Conan from Conan the Barbarian, T-800 from The Terminator and John Matrix from Commando, Schwarzenegger almost got to play the role of another famous character.

The major hit that could have starred Arnold Schwarzenegger

Instead of Lou Ferrigno, the casting director of MCU’s 1977’s The Incredible Hulk could have starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. The only thing that opposed his chances for the role had been the height difference between him and Ferrigno. Although the Austrian Oak stood 6’2 foot high, Ferrigno’s 6’5 height impressed the casting director more, as he felt that it was more suitable for Bill Bixby?s alter-ego, the Hulk.
