Jay Cutler is one of the toughest competitors in the history of Mr. Olympia. Although Cutler managed to win only four Mr. Olympia titles, he was much more than that. This pro bodybuilder gave the closest fight to the legend Ronnie Coleman in his prime days. Moreover, other than four titles, Cutler stood runner-up six times.

Earlier this year, during an interview with Greg Doucette, Cutler opened up about an incident that made him dislike his family. The incidents happened back in the day when Cutler was a student.

Why did Jay Cutler hate his family?

Children often have to do some things forcefully under parents’ pressure. Jay Cutler underwent a similar situation growing up. Cutler said, “I was working before school, after school, school vacations and in family business we never have a clock right. So it was like sun up to sun down and I hated my family for it.”

That was the beginning of Cutler. 

Even though many people think he should have won earlier, Cutler eventually won his first title in 2006. He broke the streak of legend Ronnie Coleman’s eight consecutive triumphs, after being runner-up four times while Coleman became champion. He won the title in 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2010. Whereas he again stood second two times more in 2008 and 2011.
