Arnold Schwarzenegger gave career advice to Will Smith

Some celebrities in Hollywood have become so popular that it is tough to remember a time when they weren’t household names. Will Smith is certainly on that list. One of the most prolific black actors of our time, the ‘I Am Legend’ star wasn’t always the star that he is now. On his quest to become more famous than Tom Cruise, Smith took some valuable advice from Arnold, who had established himself as one of the most iconic personalities on the planet.

“You are not a movie star if your movies are only successful in America. You are not a movie star until every person in every country on earth knows who you are. You have to travel the globe, shake every hand, kiss every baby. Think of yourself as a politician running for the Biggest Movie Star in the World.” This was the advice given to Smith by Arnold, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Arnold’s secret protein shake

A man that has donned many hats, Arnold has many talents. One amongst which is making excellent protein shakes. What might initially look to be a normal smoothie has a secret ingredient in it. He adds raw eggs to his drink, including the eggshells! The shells provide a substantial amount of calcium and contain small amounts of beneficial minerals such as strontium and magnesium.

At night, he adds a little Schnapps or Tequila to his smoothie, but his primary focus is on getting more protein. The ingredients include 250ml of almond milk, 60ml of cherry juice, 1 banana, a scoop of protein powder, and a whole raw egg.
