With an impressive physique, charming personality, and unique Austrian accent, Arnold Schwarzenegger has become an icon in the Hollywood industry. However, even The Terminator has encountered bizarre career pieces of advice along the way. And one such unique piece of advice for him came from the popular ‘Star Wars’ actor Mark Hamill. Mark Hamil recently played the role of Bert Kreischer’s father in the latest comedy movie, The Machine. The famous comedian, Bert Kreischer, has opened up about how Schwarzenegger warned him against his co-actor.

Kreischer recently appeared on the renowned YMH Studio to talk about his latest project. However, he revealed a hilarious incident when Schwarzenegger got two unique yet strange pieces of advice from Hamill.

Before Arnold Schwarzenegger rose to fame in Hollywood, he sought career advice from Mark Hamill, who had already established himself as a prominent actor through his role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise. However, Kreischer said that the advice that Hamill provided Schwarzenegger was anything but conventional. Firstly, Hamill advised Schwarzenegger to give up his Austrian accent.

According to Hamill, the accent would limit Schwarzenegger’s potential as it would confine him to playing small roles. Whereas, with an American accent, Schwarzenegger could have a wider range of opportunities in the industry. Secondly, he suggested that Arnold’s last name was too long and would not look good on marquees, so he should give up that too. However, Schwarzenegger wisely chose not to follow those pieces of advice.

But when he met Kreischer, he made sure to warn him about any such advice as the well-known comedian recently worked with Hamill. Kreischer told the interviewer that when he went for a workout session with Schwarzenegger, he shared his experience and warned him “never listen to that guy”. But while The Terminator took bits of advice on the acting part during his career, he hardly gave any to his family.

Kreischer revealed that Arnold has always been open to advise but accepts what he feels to be good. Fortunately, The Terminator didn’t take Hamill’s advice seriously. However, it would be interesting to think of what other surname would have suited him better. Can you think of any?
