A movie about the founders of the International Federation of Bodybuilding is set to be released in 2018. Titled Bigger, the movie centers around brothers Joe and Ben Weider and the way they pioneered the sport of bodybuilding. But one of the main aspects of that story is how the Weider brothers discovered a young Austrian man by the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
They brought him over to the states and the rest — as you all know — is history!
Recently, the role of Arnold Schwarzenegger was filled by young professional bodybuilder Calum Von Moger.
Calum has over two million followers on Instagram, but it’s not just because of his great bodybuilding content and his otherworldly physique.
Much of it has to do with his followers realizing how much he resembled Arnold; he’s even known in many circles as Schwarzenegger 2.0!
Well, it turns out that that resemblance is more than just uncanny.
Calum posted a couple of photos on his Instagram that confirmed what many had been waiting for: he will be playing Arnold on the big screen!
