“Schwarzenegger Did Not Give a F***”: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Ballsy Move After Being Rejected by a Legendary Producer in the 70s Stuns Joe Rogan’s Friend

The world will remember Arnold Schwarzenegger as the most ‘no-bullshit’ guy ever in history. He always maintained his gutsy attitude despite being in the film business, that’s constantly under scrutiny. He spoke his head and never cared about losing opportunities. The Arnold docu-series on Netflix has enough anecdotes to prove Arnie’s unique personality. Now famous stand-up comedian, Bill Burr, is also awestruck by Arnie’s fiery attitude. 

The 55-year-old American comedian recently reviewed Schwarzenegger’s three-episode documentary. But he confessed that the second episode, “Actor” had an instance that impressed him the most. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s audacity while meeting an elite producer

The Governator is shrewd when it comes to increasing his financial status. Arnie invested in real estate, even before his movie career kicked off, and did not require doing side roles. So, finally, in his search for the lead role, he had to meet Dino De Laurentiis, the famous Hollywood producer who has done more than 500 films. 

But the interview hadn’t gone as planned, as Schwarzenegger exclaimed “Why does a little guy need such a big desk?” after noticing that the producer is a little man. He was soon thrown out of the office, and Arnie’s agent remarked it was the fastest meeting ever in Hollywood, just one minute forty seconds. 

But the entire scenario narrated in the documentary impressed Joe Rogan’s buddy as he exclaimed, “The power that guy had it’s all, dependent on the person he’s talking to giving a f**k and the fact that Schwarzenegger did not give a f**k, the floor went out from underneath this little guy, and he didn’t know what to do.” Bill Burr admitted that he was fascinated by the Terminator icon’s ‘don’t give a damn’ nature. Despite his fiery attitude, Arnie’s first big hit in Hollywood was produced by Dino De Laurentiis. 

The Austrian Oak as the Conan the Barbarian

Thanks to his bodybuilding physique, Arnold Schwarzenegger was selected for the lead role in Conan the Barbarian. The director John Milius was adamant about filming the movie with Arnie, and De Laurentiis didn’t interfere despite being the producer, as he was afraid to deal with the wrath of Milius. 

When it comes to acting in any role, Schwarzenegger gives his best, and in the 1982 film, he did all the stunts by himself. Eventually, he impressed De Laurentiis, who came up to him on the film set and said, “Schwarzenegger, you’re Conan.“
