Arnold Schwarzenegger Interview 1979 Brian Linehan's City Lights

[@LiViro1]

The more interviews I see of the young Arnold, the more I realize that this guy's success wasn't an accident.

[@Herr.P]

Yes he knows what he is doing and hes both clever and charismatic.

[@cristianmerli5050]

Never doubted it

[@tonylee-UK]

What a brilliant, gentlemanly interview.

[@rajs9031]

Totally agree Tony--- You don't see these type of interviews at these days.

[@spaceman8888]

I love Arnold. EVERYBODY does. He is always so composed and calm. He is clearly very focused on anything he does.. such an amazing career.

[@antonboludo8886]

He is very focused on his goals.

[@davidetre]

Unbelievable how he had everything under control since the beginning! He is for real a fucking machine!

[@cristianmerli5050]

You know people used to think that Arnold had an easy way into acting because he was Mr. Olimpia etc etc but when you follow him you realize that it was his plan all along since he was 15, and he accomplished it majestically! The immigrant that everybody would want, way to go Arnold!

In case anyone doesn't remember, Brian Linehan was an excellent interviewer. He was always ultra prepared and was so well-spoken.

[@Bravilor]

Such a kind, soft-spoken interview.

[@starfox300]

Arnold ist the absolute definition of success. The man went from nothing to the best, having mulitple businesses, having multiple goals and always reaching his goals.

[@jakubwrona2040]

Oh definetely, but don't forget about cheating on his wife and using great amounts of steroids. And those are the things we know thanks to the fact they were revealed.

@@jakubwrona2040 He is only human. People make mistakes.

[@jakubwrona2040]

@@Mokilla2525 Sure he is. Sure they do. And this is why in my opinion he is not a definition od success.

[@kevinc7161]

RIP Brian Linehan. Your invaluable interviews (this one with Arnold is well researched and adeptly interviewed) and your charitible nature for providing these outstanding historical perspectives. It will do nothing but good for generations to come.

[@Hellthrasher]

What incredible footage! Many thanks for this gem of an upload. Humble GOAT.

[@pronemanoldbutyoung5548]

Wow the compliment Arnolds deliver at the very end. World class.

[@Tolman18]

Wow what an amazing interview honestly! This is the first I have seen of Canadian host Brian Linehan and I must say he seems extremely genuine, comfortable, and passionate about who he interviews and you just don't seem to get much of that at all today. Kudos to these uploads and I am now a Subscriber!!

[@sampson3121]

U didn't get much of that back then either. It was Brian.

[@ΑθανάσιοςΕυσταθίου-ε7υ]

A very strong personality...!!!

amandajstar his confidence is something out of this world

[@michaelsierra9]

Martin Luther Especially when he says he does’nt want to play himself in “superman”, lol

[@kevinc7161]

Tony Lee, I couldn't agree more. I loved the setting of the interview, the timeframe that Arnold was interviewed (1979, which not much is shown of him), and the line of intelligent questioning by Brian Linehan. Arnold was still in great shape, and was very calm and confident. Loved the entire interview! P.S. Whatever became of "Pumping Iron Behind Bars?" P.S.S. As fate would have it, the questions concerning Jackie O and Maria Shriver nailed the future for Arnold!

[@goyallucky5203]

both men made that a GREAT INTERVEIW, ITS Like they knew eachother for 20 yrs the way they got along

[@Cum007]

Funny thing is, some actually have known the interviewer

[@livinginvancouverbc2247]

I grew up in Toronto. It's nice to see Brian Linehan.

[@WinnerForever007]

Great interview with my idol!

[@labtob]

listening to him is pretty relaxing, tbh.

[@TheOJObserver]

That was a great interview. Well researched, pre internet!

[@jayshomer4191]

What a nostalgic time capsule ! Arnie had a very memorable chapter throughout the 70’s.

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

What a great interview...!!! 😁🔝👍 I didn't expect this to be as good as it was! 🤔...🔜...👌

[@moomoomoo33ass]

I’m surprised as how well he speaks English here in 1979, when only a couple years before , he could barely speak a word of English . He really must have put in so much work learning it

[@ramongonzalez2112]

Great interview. Two laid back guys.

[@anubbhandari582]

he is really a legend and genius in his own way ,what a man of all man...

[@cristianmerli5050]

Not too mention the real estate business he had in between. He became a millionaire before becoming an actor

[@anubbhandari582]

when u have an intellect that works for u regardless of circumstance u are thrown into ,one will turn the circumstance around and be a legend

[@flassk7]

Usually people with massive egos (like Arnold) are smug and obnoxious, but somehow (his sense of humor certainly helps a lot) Arnold is neither, and that alone makes him a fascinating person.

[@beyourself2444]

Agreed 100%. Huge ego but very charming... Very rare combo

[@7beers]

I saw the movie "Against All Odds" a few years ago and noticed how amazing Jeff Bridges' body looked. I now learn that the credit for that goes to Arnold!

[@Yaenu1093]

I wish i could see comments from 1979

[@HansenSWE]

Holy shit. I clicked this video for shits and giggles but I watched the whole thing. It was interesting. I'll be damned

[@bhbluebird]

Arnold always played the long game.

he speaks better English then than he does now

Да он вообще уникум без переводчика, не мычит, не запинается, талант во всем

[@stevenjoseph113]

Funny how Arnold said he turned down the $200,000 for a tire commercial but The Rock has one out now...just interesting because The Rock looks up to Arnold and is kind of the new action figure/ Arnold-esque figure

[@tartgreenapple]

Arnold did numerous commercials for the Japaneses market.

[@M3Lucky]

@@tartgreenapple yeah those were hilarious! Part of the contract was they can only distribute it in Japan

[@tomfu6210]

BTW it is interresting, how close the guest and host were back in the days of 3:2 ratio. I think it affected tone of interview. It's hard to be mean while being so close.

[@beyourself2444]

I see why women liked Arnold. If only men of my generation were this charming and funny...

[@shred9475]

he was also very good looking let's be honest

[@hardcorehouse]

I’ve followed bodybuilding and Schwarz for longer than most. He’s charismatic, smart and very fortunate in the businessmen he knew who guided his career...but most don’t realize hes always also been a king sized ahole. It’s true, just ask the 20 women he groped, or Shriver, now that she’s no longer fooled by the act. But as he got more savvy, he knew how to hide the obnoxious side. Also, he DID do commercials..in Japan, knowing they wouldn’t be known here.

[@brankind969]

Groping accusations before a political campaign are very suspect. I'll bet Arnold got groped too. I have been and I'm not famous

[@Prawnsacrifice]

Yes I question your statement for sure

[@kjn6505]

This was in 1979 dumbass he did commercials in Japan in the 90s.... Cant he change his mind later in life? Plus he was getting millions to do commercials in Japan.

[@moonrunrs]

@@brankind969 I live in Santa Monica and the groping thing is true. Crazy story but the bars and restaurants in the area (especially on Main St.) have staff that talked of it long before he ran for governor. When it became public during the election, everyone was like, "Oh man, we weren't the only ones!"

Maybe not only ahole but it is amazing how he knew everything about bb, business, career. There must be an mastermind
