Before becoming Conan's successor, they had trained together for several years, and Arnold supported him in his preparation for the role...
🗣️ "I wasn't trying to become the next Arnold. I did it my way, but he was always a great inspiration and help. He helps people. He was always very supportive, but you have to do it on your own," stated Ralf Moeller.
🚨 RALF MOELLER AND ARNOLD: FROM BODYBUILDING TO A GREAT FRIENDSHIP!
✅ They share the same background: Moeller was a bodybuilding champion and, in 1988, competed in the Mr. Olympia alongside champions like Lee Haney and Shawn Ray. At 6'6", he is one of the tallest bodybuilders in history.
✅ When Moeller was chosen to play Conan, Arnold personally visited him on set. He showed Moeller how to wield the legendary sword. A gesture of respect between the man who played the iconic role and the one who took it on.
✅ That relationship blossomed into a friendship that lasts to this day. Arnold and Ralf train together at Gold's Gym. As Moeller said, Arnold was always a great support, but he taught him the most important lesson: "You have to do it on your own." Two giants who conquered the big screen, united by their work and mutual respect.
