Smith talked about Arnold’s advice
When Will went for the opening of the famous restaurant Planet Hollywood, he found himself in the company of three wise men. Amidst the star-stunned affair, Will could not resist asking for career advice as he saw Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger together.
Grabbing the opportunity to the fullest, he said, “I want to be the biggest movie star in the world,” and quickly added, “and I need you guys to tell me.“ Imparting his wisdom, Arnold was quick to reply, “If your movie is only big in America, it doesn’t matter.”
Making himself clear, Arnold further added, “you will be a movie star only when you are a movie star in every country in the world.” Guiding further on making a brand identity, Arnold advised Will to travel the world and meet people. Taking notes from the Terminator star, Will followed his words religiously. The result? As Will says, it was ‘life-altering.’
