Chris Hemsworth and Arnold Schwarzenegger train together.
Popular actor Chris Hemsworth recently fulfilled a lifelong dream of training with his idol legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Extraction 2 and Thor star posted about their training encounter while in Brazil for a Netflix fan event.
Following in the footsteps of action stars before him, Chris Hemsworth has been hard at work diversifying his filmography. Hemsworth has appeared in multiple Marvel films and is set to appear in the action-packed sequel to the Netflix hit Extraction.
When he’s not filming a blockbuster action film, Chris Hemsworth is hard at work in the gym either bulking up to play Thor or pushing his athleticism to the next level to portray characters like Tyler Rake in the Netflix original film Extraction. Hemsworth has shown time in again that he’s a major advocate for fitness. Creating his fitness app Centrfit, Hemsworth hopes to help individuals become their best selves, physically, and mentally.
Like Chris Hemsworth, Arnold Schwarzenegger has a long history of advocating for fitness. A seven-time Olympia champion, Schwarzenegger cemented himself as one of the all-time greats of the sport. After dominating the bodybuilding scene, Schwarzenegger would set his sights on Hollywood next. Making the switch to acting saw Schwarzenegger release a myriad of high-grossing films from the 80s into the 2000s. Schwarzenegger would eventually set his sights on politics where he would become governor of California.
