Naturally, people turn to Arnold Schwarzenegger for advice. However, this one time when he was still making his way into the industry, he turned to Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, from the Star Wars series for some kind words of wisdom. Though what he got from Hamill was not so appropriate advice that might have taken things south for the bodybuilding legend in Hollywood.

As far as bodybuilding is concerned, Arnold Schwarzenegger was born for that. However, being in movies was something he never planned. Hence, during his initial days in the industry, he had a lot to learn. Though one thing that makes Arnold stand out is his dedication to anything he does. Not to exaggerate, but the bodybuilding legend is indeed one of the most versatile human beings on the planet.

Mark Hamill’s advice to Arnold Schwarzenegger

In 2018, while praising the master Jedi a fan wrote on Twitter, “Every time I hear something ridiculous, I ask myself how would Mark Hamill respond?” In response to the fan’s statement, Hamil tweeted back, pointing out that he is not the ideal person to seek advice from. He wrote, “Arnold Schwarzenegger asked me for advice when he was just starting out. I told him to lose his accent for a wider range of roles and to change his last name, since no one could pronounce it.”

However, Arnold didn’t actually abide by Hamill’s advice. To this, he further added, “He did the opposite and became one of the biggest stars EVER.”

Hamil apologized to Arnold for his bad advice

Clearly, advice by Hamil was not in the best interest of Arnold. Hamil, on the hand, believed that the bodybuilding legend deserved an apology from him. However, Arnold said“It wasn’t until years later that I realized it was a missed opportunity for me to ask YOU for advice.”

Well, in the entire incident, Hamill did raise an important point about Arnold’s last name. It’s indeed tough to pronounce. Though had he changed his last name, do you think he would still have made this big in Hollywood?
