4X Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler Gave the Reason Behind Actors Like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone Still Being Fan Favorites Back in 2014

When it comes to bodybuilding, legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jay Cutler need no introduction. On one hand, Cutler has won the Mr. Olympia title four times, while on the other hand, Arnold Schwarzenegger has won it seven times. Given their legendary stints in bodybuilding, both share a lot in common. And being an inspiration for the new generation of bodybuilders is definitely one of them.

Dating back to 2014, Cutler detailed the parallels between his and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s careers. Cutler took his time to explain it properly.

Jay Cutler wanted to be his own man

Bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler also agreed with the statement that he and Schwarzenegger have a lot in common. From coming from a small town to having the same passion, Cutler confessed that he wanted to be his own man.

“I want to be my own man and not necessarily follow in his footsteps, but I see that he kind of opened the path for that,” Cutler said and continued, “A lot of films, now, are becoming animated, with all of these special effects and more cartoon-like action stars that aren’t real.”

While Cutler admitted the fact that he did not want to follow Schwarzenegger’s career path, the 4-time Mr. Olympia winner also praised Schwarzenegger for opening a new path for upcoming bodybuilders. He also discussed how special effects or animations make the film unrealistic.

“People still want to see the action guys, these buff guys, I mean, what it repre­sents is fighting skills and power and that kind of stuff,” Cutler said and continued, “I think that’s why we’re so interested in the Schwarzenegger films, Steven Seagal films, Jean- Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone, with the Rocky films, and with all that kind of stuff.”
