“He Looked Like Bruce Willis”: Jay Cutler Dismisses 260 Lbs. Hollywood Giant, Being Bigger Than Arnold Schwarzenegger

Jay Cutler‘s podcast has become quite popular with the fans of the four-time Mr. Olympia. The Cutler Cast has almost reached the 60 episodes milestone. In episode #57, titled I’ll compete for $1,000,000, Cutler spoke about Arnold Schwarzenegger. With the Arnold Sports Festival just around the corner, the former Mr. Olympia spoke about how much Schwarzenegger has contributed to bodybuilding. He also compared one of the biggest movie stars of today, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, with the once highest-paid actor in the world.

During the episode, the former champion heaped praise on The Terminator actor. Recently, Dwayne Johnson featured on the Forbes highest-paid actors list. While Cutler didn’t want to compare, he said, The Rock couldn’t match up to the Austrian Oak. He also explained why he thought so.

Why Arnold Schwarzenegger is the ultimate icon

During the episode, Jay Cutler and his co-host, Manager Matt, compared Dwayne Johnson to the former Mr. Universe. Despite how popular Dwayne Johnson has become, Cutler thinks there is one element that’s responsible for The Rock’s massive success. The former Mr. Olympia said Johnson’s physique and love for bodybuilding have turned him into a superstar. “What if ‘The Rock’ wasn’t such a fitness enthusiast and… looked like Bruce Willis or Steven Seagal?” Cutler asked Matt.

Manager Matt didn’t hesitate to answer and said Johnson “Wouldn’t be where he’s at,” today. Cutler also recalled watching Arnold walk through a bodybuilding expo once. “Remember the crowds of people, man? I hate to compare, but Dwayne Johnson, a couple of years ago, when he was the action guy. Arnold was bigger than that.” said the four-time Mr. Olympia winner.
