The Austrian Oak’s thick accent is one of the defining features of the seven-time Mr. Olympia icon. Over the years, Hollywood stars like Dwayne Johnson and Will Smith have also impersonated his accent. However, Chris explained why he didn’t want to join the ranks of his fellow Hollywood stars.

Why you won’t catch Chris Pratt impersonating Arnold Schwarzenegger

In June 2021, Chris Pratt sat down for an interview with Associated Press. The interviewer did his version of Arnold’s thick Austrian accent. However, Chris refused to follow suit. “You won’t catch me saying that on camera because I’m going to see him for dinner on Sunday,” said the Guardians of the Galaxy star. Chris married Arnold’s daughter Katherine in 2019.

“If he (Arnold) says ‘Hey, I saw the interview where you did an impression of me,’ that might not work so well,” added Chris. The actor revealed Arnold had seen the trailer of The Tomorrow War. “He loved the trailer,” said Pratt. The actor also revealed that The Governator had praised Chris after watching the trailer.

However, unlike Chris, Dwayne Johnson had no qualms about impersonating Arnold’s accent during an interview in Australia. While promoting his movie San Andreas, the Rock replicated Arnold’s heavy accent. However, he also said the former 80s action star was his icon growing up.

Like Dwayne, Oscar winner Will Smith also impersonated the Terminator actor’s accent. On The Graham Norton Show, Will Smith recalled meeting Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis in a restaurant. While explaining what Arnold told him, Will couldn’t help but replicate the bodybuilding champion’s accent.

The bodybuilding icon’s struggle to learn English

As an Austrian immigrant, Schwarzenegger arrived in America with some cash and no knowledge of English. In his autobiography, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, Arnie recounts his struggles to learn the language. In the chapter Learning American, Arnold writes he used to translate every English word into German, which made things quite complicated.

After joining Santa Monica College, the Terminator actor gradually developed his grasp on the language. However, he could never get rid of his thick accent completely, so he used it as his USP.
