From Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson To Arnold Schwarzenegger; Here are Top Bodybuilders Who Switched careers to acting

Known for their stunning, built physiques, these bodybuilders have used their sizeable frames to their advantage, and have used their unique looks to open plenty of doors for themselves. Here are bodybuilders-turned-actors – muscle men who made successful transitions from bodybuilding into the world of movies.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Putting Arnold Schwarzenegger at the number one position on this list was a no-brainer. If success could be measured or quantified in some way, Arnold would probably be the most successful person on the planet. Whether it's bodybuilding, acting, or politics. He succeeded in all.

Lou Ferrigno

Now, looking through Lou Ferrigno's filmography, his best role would have to be playing The Incredible Hulk in the CBS series. He’s made a successful transition as an actor, but, just like in his bodybuilding days, he’s always been in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s shadow.

Dave Bautista

Heading 2

Dave Bautista, better known as Batista, became a megastar in the wrestling industry. He made his name with WWE, and people who witnessed him do his thing in the ring were just awestruck.

Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson is without doubt one of the biggest - in terms of his salary, his frame, and fan following – actors on the planet. He’s been killing it in Hollywood over the past decade, and has one of the most enviable physiques around.
