The former Mr. Olympia sat for an interview with FACTZ Podcast, where he capped off his view on the exposure to popularity. Cutler comes from the time when Ronnie Coleman had already refined all possible standards of the sport. However, it was Cutler who dethroned The King of bodybuilding. And this feat of the legend created a huge fanbase.
However, the Worcester native was not very familiar with such attention. As he shared in the podcast, “I was an introvert and… to this day, if you said like what is your down time…it’s probably to be at home and not be around a lot of people.” In fact, the fitness icon went on sharing that on his way to the interview, he stopped several times as “I get a little anxiety, to be honest, around crowds…I go to this huge expose or I speak in front of this huge crowds.”
Later, Cutler’s secret to not getting nervous before the media was to speak from the heart. Besides, he is quite active on his Instagram, educating people about the sport. Dealing with these odds, the IFBB pro amassed a lot of fans through his success.
