Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s fame is spread across several niches, yet he can never lose the bodybuilder tag no matter where he goes. His leap into the world of entertainment from the fitness community brought him many opportunities as an action hero. However, as an actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger believed himself to have more layers than no one else was willing to see. It took him a bit of struggle to make the film most people were rejecting which later became a massive hit.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s acting career gave the entertainment industry some timeless characters, From Conan in Conan the Barbarian to Terminator, most of Schwarzenegger’s roles were of the tough guy. In his recently published book, Arnie revealed how he found it difficult to get one of his movies financed, just because he was playing a role that was different from how he was typecasted in Hollywood.

The trick that made a studio sign Arnold Schwarzenegger’s movie

In his latest book, “Be Useful”, Schwarzenegger reflected on his memory and talked about the origin of his famous movie “Twins”. He wrote in the book how he was disregarded for a comedic role just because of his background in the world of fitness. The Austrian Oak stated, “Who wouldn?t want to make a funny movie with us? It turns out, most of Hollywood.” The bodybuilding legend also pointed out how some of them would not accept Arnie as a comedic character while others would not spend as much as per their demands.

To tackle this adverse situation, Arnold Schwarzenegger and his costar Danny DeVito came up with an outstanding plan. They signed the contract in a way where they can only make money if there’s an overall profit made by the film. He stated in the book, “If a studio agreed to make our movie, all three of us would agree to make zero salary. Instead, we would take a piece of the net profits, called ?backend? in Hollywood language. We would only make money if the studio made money.”

Despite facing numerous setbacks in his journey, Arnie went on to make an impression in all the fields he was a part of. Building on this, earlier, he had advised about how one should build on the failures one has in their life.
